Top 50 Classified Ads Websites

There are hundreds or even thousands of classified ads site on the Internet. However, the majority of these sites have little (<500 visitors per month) to no discernible traffic. For the English speaking classified ad sites, there are basically 50 ad websites that dominate the classified ad space. Craigslist probably dominates 80-85% of the space and the rest of the classified operators carve up the remaining 15-20%. I have compiled an ad list of what I think are the top 50 classified ad sites.

They are in alphabetical order.

Seven Types of Classified Ads We Do Not Like to See

We have a very low tolerance for spam or scams. We ban on sight. We get some complaints about that policy but this is a private site and we reserve the right to reject anyone who doesn’t comply with our Terms of Use.

As a rule of thumb, post classified ads that match the related category. An ad for speakers obviously does not belong in autos. We consider this type of posting spam.

7 other classified ads (types) we do not like to see.

1. Loan Ads – 99% of these ads are scams and originate outside of USA.
2. Nudity Ads – That’s a different venue (not us—it is those other guys)
3. Get Rich Quick Ads – 99% of these ads are BS. Nothing in life is easy; earning legitimate money is no different. The only one benefiting is the promoter or at least until the FBI or some other law enforcement agency knocks on their door.
4.  Pharmacy Pill Ads – Personally, we wouldn’t buy pills from a free classified ad. Most of these ads originate from non-US countries. Visit your local pharmacy or visit a well-known online pharmacy.
5. Pyramid/Ponzi Scheme Ads – We delete/ban these ads on sight. They are ALL scams. You may get yourself into a lot of legal trouble if you get caught participating. If you see them, please report them to us soonest.
6. Puppy Ads – These can be legitimate but only deal in person (local). Do your homework and check out the seller. 99-100% of the overseas puppies ads are scams–don’t get involved!
7.  Gold Dust Ads - All of these ads from Africa are fake. These guys are low-life scammers.

After 3 Years, FreeAdLists.com Continues to Grow in the Classified Ads Space

The other day I was asked what was the hardest part about starting freeadlists.com. Most people would think technical implementation as being the most difficult. Not hardly. Well, it was — starting it. It was very difficult to gain traction. Frankly speaking, people do not trust new websites in general for obvious and varied reasons. On the surface, classified ads seem like an easy business model to work – people post ads, people view ads. But as most small business owners already know, it’s not that easy with any small business. Anyone that tells you starting a small business is easy, you should run or get a shovel—it’s BS. But after 3 years, we are definitely gaining traction. More and more people trust our website, which was definitely not an overnight event. Our bounce rate is now one of the lowest in the classified ads industry.  I hope the site’s momentum continues and we will continue to improve its usability for our buyers and sellers.

Thank you for making freeadlists.com a success.

Message to Paid Classified Ads Posters

Here is a message to paid posters. You might not know this but you are screwing your client’s marketing/advertising efforts. I do understand there is a need for these types of activities – many legitimate businesses (real estate, law firms, booksellers, auto dealers, etc) outsource their marketing/advertising activities to others. But when you incessantly spam classified ads sites with certain keywords or URLs, you are forcing operators of these sites to take drastic measures. For example and not surprisingly, banning certain keywords and/or banning some website URLs amongst other things.

As with everything else in life, use moderation so please post your ads in moderation. Nobody needs or wants to see 10-15 “different classified ads” of the same topic.

Where the Heck is my Confirmation Email? Perhaps…

We receive numerous emails each day from posters about not receiving their confirmation email. We noticed most of these “bit bucket” emails are from the following domains: aol.com, bellsouth.net, comcast.net, earthlink.net, netzero.net, charter.net, juno.com, sbcglobal.net, exite.com, verizon.net and lycos.com.
Apparently these email service providers are filtering your correspondence, so please use a different email domain.
The other alternative is to register and then no confirmation email is required.

Are Online Classified Ads Dismantling the Print Classifieds Industry?

Here are two telling articles about how online classified ads have practically dismantled the newspaper classified advertising industry.  This is not really a shocker but the rate of decline is somewhat surprising. Craigslist has not done it singlehandedly, but they are definitely leading this particular sector of cyberspace.

Classified Ad Revenue Down 70 Percent in 10 Years, With One Bright Spot

Classified ads plunge to $6bn from $19.6bn in 2000

But let’s be honest…

Who wants to shell out  (or any money) money to sell a piece of furniture or their 5 year old automobile? Let me guess – Not many of us because there are too many options for us not to. Plus that, online classified ads are almost real-time for registered users or other users who confirm a confirmation email. But with print advertising, it might take a few days to see your ad in circulation.  Who really wants to pay for the wait?

I know some people might say that print classifieds have staying power. Yes, that might be true but when have you actually referred to an old newspaper classified ad?
