Huge List of Free Classified Ad Sites

Silverstone Member Joined: 14 May 2008 Posts: 99	# Posted: 22 Aug 2008 21:42 · Edited by: Silverstone Reply I just found this list (below), so obviously I haven't tried all of these. As we all know, 3 of the biggest (i.e. most traffic) free classified sites are: Craigslist, Backpage and Kijiji. I'm sure that some of the sites listed below have minimal traffic, and as such would not be worth investing much time in. You can go to http://www.alexa.com and get the traffic results for any site, to see if it is "well travelled." The smaller the number, the better the traffic. For example, Craigslist is currently ranked 40, which is VERY high in traffic... I think they have something like 3 Billion visitors per month. Backpage is ranked about 1,800 which is still very good. Basically, anything ranked under about 250,000 or so is worth checking out for free advertising! I love free. You can also see what countries the visitors are coming from at alexa.com, which might be helpful for your campaign. Here's the list: adlandpro.com http://www.adlandpro.com adpost.com http://www.adpost.com adquest3d.com http://www.adquest3d.com albertarose.com http://www.albertarose.com backpage.com http://www.backpage.com bestadforum.com http://www.bestadforum.com buysell.com http://www.buysell.com caklassifieds.com http://caklassifieds.com chooseyouritem.com http://www.chooseyouritem.com ClassifiedAds.com http://www.classifiedads.com classifiedextra.ca http://www.classifiedextra.ca classifiedsforfree.com http://www.classifiedsforfree.com ClassifiedsForFree.com http://www.classifiedsforfree.com classifieds.myspace.com http://classifieds.myspace.com/index.cfm classifieds.spokane. http://classifieds.spokane.net classifieds.yahoo.com http://classifieds.yahoo.com craigslist.org http://www.craigslist.org domesticsale.com http://www.domesticsale.com e-classifieds.net http://www.e-classifieds.net economist.com/classifieds http://www.economist.com/classifieds expo.live.com http://expo.live.com/default.aspx ezilon.com http://www.ezilon.com free-advertising-blog.com/index.php http://www.free-advertising-blog.com/ind freeadvertisingboard.com http://www.freeadvertisingboard.com freeadvertisingzone.com http://www.freeadvertisingzone.com freeadvertisingforum.com http://www.freeadvertisingforum.com Freeclassified.jmcweb.org http://freeclassifieds.jmcweb.org/classi freeclassifieds.va-web.com http://www.freeclassifieds.va-web.com/ca freeads.biztop.com http://freeads.biztop.com freeadpost.freeforums4u.com http://freeadpost.freeforums4u.com google.com/base http://www.google.com/base gumtree.com http://www.gumtree.com hoobly.com http://www.hoobly.com iclads.com http://www.iclads.com inetgiant.com http://www.inetgiant.com isell.com http://www.isell.com InetGiant.com http://www.inetgiant.com itsmymarket.com http://www.itsmymarket.com kijiji.com http://www.kijiji.com kijiji.ca http://www.kijiji.ca <---- this one actually works great! la.kaango.com http://la.kaango.com livedeal.com http://www.livedeal.com/index.jsp london.kijiji.ca http://london.kijiji.ca loot.com http://www.loot.com morefreeadsforum.freeforums4u.com http://morefreeadsforum.freeforums4u.com northbay classified http://www.northbayclassifieds.com oakvilleclassfied http://www.oakvilleclassifieds.ca oodle.com http://www.oodle.com olx.com http://www.olx.com ozfreeonline.com http://www.ozfreeonline.com postyouradforfree.com http://www.postyouradforfree.com postfreeadvertisements.com http://postfreeadvertisements.com recycler.com http://www.recycler.com salespider.com http://www.salespider.com seethisitem.com http://www.seethisitem.com sell.com http://www.sell.com selloutads.com http://www.selloutads.com skelbimai.co.uk http://www.skelbimai.co.uk subblurbs.com http://www.subblurbs.com sunrad.com http://www.sunrad.com tauque.com http://www.tauque.com TheFlyer.com http://www.theflyer.com thefreeadforum.com http://www.thefreeadforum.com traderonline.com http://www.traderonline.com usfreeads.com http://www.usfreeads.com uscity.net http://www.uscity.net vflyer.com http://www.vflyer.com villaricaclassifieds.com http://www.villaricaclassifieds.com Well, that should keep you busy for awhile...

Do all of these allow you to put links in your ads though? For example, I know USFreeads strips out all the links if you are using the free version. Does Craigslist let you have links in your ads? __________________ Read My Wealthy Affiliate Review

I don't know yet, as I said I haven't checked out most of them. For craigslist, they WILL let you put your link in, but if you "over do" it you will get ghosted, and your ads will no longer appear. So what I do with craigslist is, put a picture with my link in the picture. That requires the reader to actually type my URL into their browser to get to my site, but A) I don't get ghosted and B) if they're too lazy to do that, then I probably have no use for them anyway.

fatman Member Joined: 6 Jun 2008 Posts: 123	# Posted: 22 Aug 2008 22:11 Reply Thank you for the reply. I tried using Craigslist before, but it didn't work for me. I made an ad and Craigslist said it was approved and would be listed in a few minutes....but it never showed up. Is that what "ghosting" means? I had a link in my ad, so I assumed that is why that happened. I will try your picture idea though. Thank you for the tip! __________________ Read My Wealthy Affiliate Review
Silverstone Member Joined: 14 May 2008 Posts: 99	# Posted: 22 Aug 2008 22:25 Reply Yes, "ghosting" is when craig says your ad has posted, but then it never shows up. There are many reasons this could happen, such as wrong category, they don't like some words in your ad, or maybe your link. Or maybe they don't like your email address, if it has posted more than 3 ads in 48 hours. They also will ghost you if you use the SAME headline more than once. So, try it again, post only 3 ads per 48 hours (per email address) and use different headlines for each ad.

I personally put the comment that kijiji.ca is a good place to post, because it really is. Notice how I bolded my comment? Well it's true. Kijiji is tricky, and you will get your ads deleted if you don't play nicely. I don't know yet what "playing nicely" is, so I welcome you to help me try different things to see what works.

It is a review site of an affiliate marketing training program. I'm not sure which section of Craigslist it should go in. Not all of the sections allow you to put pictures either, so I'm not sure if I can use your method of showing the URL. Any ideas? __________________ Read My Wealthy Affiliate Review

Craigslist does not offer a signature option. So, every ad you post is all you really have in bringing traffic to your site. Create many headlines, and go from there.

fatman Member Joined: 6 Jun 2008 Posts: 123	# Posted: 23 Aug 2008 01:28 Reply Hmm, I think you misunderstood my question. I don't want to put in a signature in my ads, I just want to make an ad with a link to a website (the website that I have in my sig here). How can I put that link into an ad on Craigslist? It doesn't really fit into the sections where I can post a picture.... __________________ Read My Wealthy Affiliate Review
Silverstone Member Joined: 14 May 2008 Posts: 99	# Posted: 23 Aug 2008 01:33 Reply If you put your link into craigslist ads, you will get ghosted. If you put your link in a picture, then you can do it without getting ghosted. Does that explain it for you?

fatman Member Joined: 6 Jun 2008 Posts: 123	# Posted: 23 Aug 2008 01:45 Reply I understand what you mean about the pictures and I am trying to get a picture into my ad. But not all of the categories in Craigslist let you put a picture in your ads, do they? For example, if I put up an ad for a car for sale, I can put a picture. But if I go to the job section, then I can't put a picture. Sorry for the confusion. __________________ Read My Wealthy Affiliate Review

Silverstone Member Joined: 14 May 2008 Posts: 99	# Posted: 23 Aug 2008 23:03 Reply pcwork: Thanks for the information. Is there a bulk alexa checker available? Not sure I understand what you're asking, but there is a tool that shows traffic for subdomains of certain sites, for example craigslist. If you check the traffic for craigslist.org at alexa, scroll down to the bottom of the results, and you will see the cities listed, in order of traffic! This is useful information! Right now, the cities with highest craigslist traffic are San Fransisco, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Washington DC, Boston, Phoenix, Portland, and the list goes on. The good news is, when you post ads in these top cities, your ad is in a highly visited area. The bad news is, other ad posters are aware of this too, and your ad will be bumped lower and lower on the page as the day wears on. Some of them move pretty fast, too - For example, NYC, if you post an ad in the small biz section, your ad will probably be scrolled down and off of page one within a few hours. Backpage.com also has a similar feature, that shows cities ranked by traffic. My theory is, you shouldn't ignore the smaller "less traffic" cities, because your ad will stand out more, since there is less competition.

Hey thanks Mountainmom... I think tomorrow when I have time, I might go and plug all of these into alexa and see which ones have decent traffic. After that, perhaps I might "cull the herd" of sites and re-post a list of only those which have traffic. As far as craigslist, yes there are certain categories that require a phone verification (per email address, done only one time). Services>small biz ads is one of those categories, and one that I currently use too. I actually have 2 email addresses I use, since I have access to 2 phones to get verified So, with 2 verified email addresses, I can post 6 ads every 48 hours (instead of 3 with only one email address). A word of caution though, I always change my IP address and clear cookies when I switch between the 2 email addresses when posting. Some people cannot change their IP address, if they have a static one... for example, some cable internet providers use a static IP that never changes. I have DSL, and whenever I power off/on my modem/router, I get a fresh IP address (takes about 3 minutes after cycling power). You can easily find out your IP by going to www.whatismyip.org I also think one important topic of discussion for posting in craigslist is, which category to post in? Some require phone verification (one time) and some don't. Then there's the issue of getting "flagged." This is where a person viewing your ad clicks on the flag button, and if several people do it, your ad will disappear. This can happen for several reasons, like maybe the viewer looked at your ad, which was posted in the JOB section, but your ad was a business opp. Also, your competitors will flag your ad too, because they want traffic to their site, and your ad is obviously not helping them! The burning question in my mind still is which categories of craigslist work well for bringing traffic to your website?

I went ahead and edited the list some (new list below); I reduced the number of sites a bit by going to alexa.com and looking at the traffic rank for each site, and if it was not in the top 100,000 sites traffic wise, I removed it. I also have put (in parenthesis) the current traffic rank for each one. Keep in mind, the lower the traffic number, the better.
