Oodle anyone?

HomeNet is offering a premium Oodle export. Anyone using it? Any ROI feedback would be appreciated.

Oodle has a premium package of some sorts that you have to pay per click or something and your vehicles show up first in the listings. They have tried to get us to do that in the past but we never have.

I would be interested to know if anyone has had some success with it!
 
Just checked....Our Craigslist posts are being pushed to Oodle. (nothing from it tho)

Backpage has been successful...

I like BackPage in that more HTML is allowed in the ads, they don't used 'nofollow' links and the H1 tag is inserted into your listing title - unlike CL which inserts the H2 tag.

Bottom line: Search engines play nice w/BackPage.

Nice advise Eric! I overlooked the HTML ability in Backpage. Hard to believe they are no inserting the "nofollow" tags.

I personally never received much from Oodle in the past but that was some time ago. I just flipped the switch in Homenet for several of our dealers for the free Oodle listings. Not expecting much if anything but what the heck...it's free.
 
Hey guys,
Just wanted to join the conversation to help answer any questions you may have regarding HomeNet's "Oodle Premium Listings" service. HomeNet is offering the first direct-to-dealer Premium Listings service within the Oodle network, which powers more than 250 classified sites (i.e.
Facebook, MySpace, Military.com, Lycos, Walmart, etc.) The total network currently receives 10 million unique visitors per month and continues to grow rapidly.

Oodle's Premium Listings receives over 80% of the total clicks/leads from its network. HomeNet dealers receive the highest rankings within the Oodle network. In addition, HomeNet is the only way to get your inventory in the new Facebook Marketplace as there are no free listings from dealers inside the Facebook Marketplace. We provide comprehensive reporting on activity for premium dealers.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks!
