Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Suggest to Add Your City to FreeAdLists.com
Friday, September 18th, 2009Lately, we have been receiving a number of requests to add cities for certain countries. Frankly speaking, we don’t mind doing that but we are looking to add cities that are over 1 million in population. Lately, we have received a few requests for cities under 10K. In these cases, please use the “other cities in state/country” option so we can keep the city database manageable.
Also, if you don’t mind, please help spread the word for your particular city.
At any rate, here are a few Indian cities that have been added in the past 2-3 days per request.
FreeAdLists.com Adds a Latest Classified Ads Feature
Monday, August 31st, 2009In case you have not noticed, we added a “Latest Ads” feature. The new feature shows the 20-25 most recently posted classified ads and gives you a quick preview of what is being posted on the site. Check out the latest classified ads today!
As always, if you see any questionable classified ads (e.g. pharmacy, ad posting scams, BS pet ads, loan ads, chain letter/Ponzi type ads, etc), please let us know by flagging or using the “contact us” form. We love bringing down the hammer on scammers and spammers.
Why are you attracting certain visitors to your site or blog?
Saturday, August 1st, 2009I find FeedJit’s Live Traffic Feed widget useful – gives me a rough idea of who is visiting the site and WHERE they are coming from. But frankly speaking, every time I observe links coming from some of those African-based countries, I cringe. Why? Not all, but many of the pet scammers on the Internet are coming from those areas. Now these bums/scammers or their representatives are hanging out at airports. Here is one interesting story on the topic.

South African Couple Offers Unusual Contract
Saturday, March 28th, 2009I was perusing the site and found this very unusual classified ad in the clothes category of all places. There are a lot unusual ads on FreeAdLists.com but this one takes the cake — at least for this week. Frankly speaking, I was little surprised as to what this South African couple was offering to sell.
I have edited the contact info.

Do Not Play the Fake Check or Money Order Games
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008Here is an astute seller. As I have warned repeatedly, DO NOT deal with persons who are not within driving distance, especially “buyers” from overseas. Why? There is a great probability that these distance “buyers” are low-life scammers. Don’t get taken by these fake check or money order scammers — do your own due diligence.
By the way, I received this particular email because it was inadvertently sent to the FreeAdLists.com no reply email system.
Here is the seller’s comment: “hi there the MGB IS STILL AVAILABLE WILL SELL IT FOR $4400 USD CASH IT RUNS GREAT AND JUST NEEDS PAINT ALL THE BODY IS COMPLETE PLZ DONT PAY THE FAKE CHECK OR MONEY ORDER GAMES. I AM REALLY TIRED OF ALL THESE PEOPLE SENDING ME FAKE CHECKS. I DO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT, THANKS”
COMPETING CLASSIFIED ADS WEBSITE ETIQUETTE
Friday, November 14th, 2008Frankly speaking, I do not mind if other classified ads websites post their services to FreeAdLists.com. But I have noticed an annoying trend lately and it is happening routinely: I have seen this particular ad posted dozens of times. Not cool. I will ban the URL permanently if the activity does not cease.
