List of paid advertising sites – Post paid ads and featured listings to create leads fastest way possible!
How to produce leads and results faster with classified sites ? Simple, but a little costlier way is going paid while advertising online on classified sites. Want to generate excellent leads and sales for your business in an easy and fastest way possible through classified sites?
You should try using paid classified sites as they provide best exposure and traffic to your product listings compared to free ad posting. So, our reference point is ‘free versus paid classifieds’ and we are not going to discuss paid advertising, like Google AdWords and Bing ads here.
Paid advertising could cost you even less than the free one!
That’s true, in most of the cases, as far as my own experience is concerned. Point is, you spend more time and labor in getting the traffic which you could get more quickly with less labor. If you consider the value of time, then paid advertising or posting premium ads is far better than the free advertising. So, in a scale of time and traffic, paid advertising is more rewarding and more paying and it may prove an effective advertising technique for your online marketing strategies !

Posting ads on classified sites is a common place on the web. And, off-course, majority of the people still manage to post ads on free classifieds. Though, there are certain advantages of paying for your listings.
If you want to take a step ahead and willing to pay, go for ‘featured ads’ and ‘ premium membership’ on some of the exclusive classified sites that offer their clients an option to make their ads stay on the top of all other listing pages.

Paid advertising could cost you even less than the free one! woow i like this line…Great list of classifieds.. keep it up
Thanks Alma. That’s true. Sometimes for someone free may not be free and paid may cost less than the free ones 🙂
Example? Ok! Imagine you are a small business owner and you don’t have any one else to promote your business online. In this case if you start posting ads, sending promotional mails, writing blogs, then what will happen ? you will find yourself spending more time in advertising rather than managing your business which may (will) ultimately cost you much more than what you could have paid to some one else for doing all that business promotional activities for you.
ad is very important for any business… and this list of classifieds are very helpful for every businessman…i really like Quikr … because of reputation and popular classified website for general advertisements .
Yeah Sherry, i can’t agree enough with you on this. Quikr provides leads really quicker than other classifieds. I have my own experience with Quikr. When i posted a job on Quikr, i got more than 20 replies to my ad within a day !
all upcoming young businessman should read this.. and earn good knowledge about classifieds.. this knowledge will help them in their business…
Classifieds knowledge is very beneficially,specially when you are in beginning phase of your business. 5 years ago one of my friends has started a recruitment consulting firm and he wanted lots of candidates for his business to be successful, but he could not afford posting ads on premium job sites, like Monster or Naukri.com. I suggested him using free classifieds websites to post jobs for hiring requirements . And, it gave great results .He didnt have to worry about investments.
OLX and Quikr both are my favorite… both is basically a free classified site and also offer paid listings for a nominal amount and the most popular and highest search engine traffic getting classified websites all over the world.
Hi Becky. That’s right. We should use their premium ad posting options as they are much cheaper than PPC ads for any amount of traffic.
