Classified Ad Websites Which Are Best For...

The Local Seller
For the average person, there are two classified ad websites to keep in mind, depending on your location. The first is Craigslist. Craigslist is always a top 10 site in the United States and top 25 website worldwide. Because it is locally targeted, there is no better solution for the average seller. If you want to advertise a garage sale or just get rid of that broken TV that has been sitting in your garage, Craigslist is a great option. The best part is that it is completely free, except in designated cities. If you in Asia, then 88Db.com is a great solution. While it isn t quite as targeted as Craigslist, it gets a ton of traffic.
The Average Buyer
If you want to buy locally, then it is best to stick to Craigslist or 88Db.com, however if you don t mind potentially paying a shipping fee, there are some better options available. The most prominent option is WantedWants.com. This website is still considered to be fairly young and is growing steadily every year. Instead of searching for a particular item, you place a want ad. Then sit back for a few days and watch offers fly into your inbox. You get tons of offers for the exact object that you are searching for and choose the one that you want. If you are a buyer and searching for something specific, then this website is the one for you.
Affiliate Marketer
If you are an affiliate marketer, or internet marketer, and are looking to not drive traffic and boost your website rankings, then there are several classified ad websites to keep in mind. The first is well know around the internet marketing community USFreeAds.com. For less than $10 a month, you can post an unlimited number of ads. The best part is that you can link directly to your affiliate products. It is hard to find an affiliate friendly classified ad website, but USFreeAds.com fits the bill. Additionally, your ads tend to stick in search engines. This means that you will not lose the link after a few weeks, like you do with most classified ad websites. Other commonly used websites include Craigslist and Oodle.
Online classified ad websites are here to stay, and for good reason. They offer a large target audience, convenience, and high success rate. It doesn t matter if you are looking to buy, sell, or just promote an affiliate product, there is a classified ad website that is best for you. All you need to do is decide what you want to use it for and who your target audience is.
