COMPETING CLASSIFIED ADS WEBSITE ETIQUETTE

Frankly 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.

“___post Classifieds ads is offering post FREE ads.

Buy, sell, new, used, advertise, promote your business or product by post free ads on ___post.com – Free Classifieds – worldwide local Classified Ads with photo, Post free ads, free classifieds

No one likes to see the same advertisement spammed over and over. Post it once and then move on. Be courteous. Thanks.
