Slideshow ads of your RealBird listings on Backpage.com - and on local online newspaper sites

Backpage.com John Slocum was kind to let us know a few weeks ago that he could successfully post his RealBird property ads on Backpage using the new, high-impact RealBird embed code. Not only BackPage takes the RealBird slideshow code with all its glory, but it also produces very nice search engine ranking for your listings.

Most of you know the value of posting your RealBird single property websites to Craigslist, but I thought it is good to emphasize the importance of posting to Backpage.com as well. With our new RealBird Quick Share tool, it now takes only a minute or so per listings to do so. One of the great features of BackPage is that they then distribute your ads to local newspapers.

The combination of the new high-impact RealBird embed code, Backpage search engine ranking, their distribution to local online newspapers and the new RealBird Quick Share tool looks like a winning combo. It's quick and powerful way of sharing your listing info to even more places.

I am researching the exact list of newspapers that BackPage distributes advertisements to, but the post on Galttech.com says, that BackPage supported newspapers are huge in Dallas, Pittsburgh, LA, Kansas City, Houston, St Louis, and Miami. I'll contact them for a full list and let you know what I found out.

See a few ReaBird ads on Backpage below - active ads at the time of posting this article:

Olympia, WA Multi-family for sale - RealBird ad distributed to Seattle Weekly - Courtesy of Mike Conner

Myrtle Beach single family home for sale - Direct Backpage ad - courtesy of Buyer's Choice Realty

To get started, just enter your listings in RealBird as usual and from the listing management page or via the Quick Share page, post it to Backpage.com with a few clicks. Simple, fast, great-looking and powerful distribution.

Enjoy !

Thank you for the post!

You are welcome. I hope you find it helpful to post your listings to Backpage as well.

Hello Zoltan, thanks for making Backpage easier to post to, with a great looking and feature rich ad. I also like Backpage for the longer shelf-life of the ad; and that they do not insert "no follow" tags to the links. John

PS - Another free classified site RealBird users might want to use the "Kijiji" code for is Hoobly.com. I've had Google pick these ads in no time flat with pretty good ranking.

John - Thanks for the tip about Hoobly. I saw your listings published with RealBird and posted on Hoobly here

As always you guys way out front!! Thank you Thank you!!

Thanks John. Glad you like it.

Zoltan, I missed this post before. Wow, I have to take a look at this. With everything out there I am struggling to keep up and am ever so happy that is what you do for me. I assume that I just hit the button and voila! Although I don't think my local paper is there, but we shall see! Thanks you!

I did this for the first time today. Very easy, step by step directions, I especially like the downloadable checklist. You guys think of everything!

Sounds great Linda ! Let us know how Backpage works for you. Craigslist is the single biggest source of referral traffic but Backpage is big too. It definitely worths the few extra minutes.
