You may have all read them, offline anyway, in newspapers, magazines and journals among other places. Well online classified ads work the same way. You write a headline, description and post some contact details for potential buyers to get in touch with you. Offline classifieds would direct people to a phone number while online classified ads would contain your URL and an email address.

Offline you'll have to pay for all classified ads you post, however online there are thousands of free sites(Will you get a lot of traffic with free classified ads? Well my experiences is no. I see free classified ads as a come on for you to buy "PAID" classified ads. I never got any real traffic with free classified ads.) which will allow you to post your ad and of course there are plenty of low-cost sites which will also except your classified ads.

Apart from the fact you can get free classifieds online, online ads have a few advantages compared to offline ones.

The Internet has a much larger audience than your local or national newspaper has, so more people can potentially see your ad and act upon it.

You can post your ads online and you could have feedback and sales within a very short time as usually people just have to click on your URL for more info rather than make a phone call or send a letter. Ads that are placed online are much cheaper than their offline counterparts, this is because space is not tight on the Internet as it is in a magazine or newspaper.

A user looking for a particular product can usually perform a search for a particular word or phrase from the classified ad site whereas offline people have to read through the different categories.
