subject: 5 Tips On How To Look For A Free Classifieds Site [print this page] Looking for a free classifieds site may seem easy, especially because of its nature. However, as with most things online, you should proceed with caution when it comes to finding the right classifieds website for you. It doesnt matter whether youre promoting a service, a business, a product, or looking for something in particular using these classified websites. The point is, the website you choose will indirectly represent you, your company, your serviceor, in general, your intentionso the site has to be perfect and appropriate. Also, choosing the right free classifieds site will make your goal easier to accomplish.
Here are five tips on how to look for the right free classifieds site for you:
1.If you are a complete beginner and you are not familiar with any classifieds website, go to any top search engine and use free classified ads as your keyword. Start your search from there. Needles to say, dont sign up and register for the first website you encounter, although it would be wise if you choose one of the top 20 websites on the results page.
2.However, there are cases when this isnt very advisable. For instance, there are fields that have specialized classifieds websites. A good example: foreclosure properties. There are a lot of websites that specialize on ads for foreclosure properties. These sites may not be among the top 20 sites when you use the technique mentioned above, but they are the ones that people looking for foreclosed properties will search for.
Needless to say, learn how to customize your search/
3.If you have chosen a particular website, and it isnt exactly easy to finish their registration process, leave the website immediately and choose another classifieds site (unless, of course, youre really settled with this particular website). If its difficult for you, theres no reason to think it wouldnt be difficult for others. This is especially important when the website requires people to sign up in order to see the ads.
4.Avoid free classified websites that have also space for paid ads. In these websites, the paid ads will be shown first, while the free ads will be displayed at the very bottom of the list, right after the paid ads. Obviously, before someone gets to your ad, he has been bombarded with paid ads. Your ad does not stand a chance.
5.Assess the website youve been eyeing to use. Make sure the website is thriving (meaning to say it isnt stagnant). You may think that a website with fewer ads means more visibility, but it could also mean the website has few ads because it is already dead, so to speak.
Again, as with anything involving the Internet, it is best to try as many websites as possible. Since the service is free, it wouldnt cost you a cent, although you will have to invest some time and effort into the endeavorthat is, of course, until youve found the particular one that suits your purpose and your taste.
