Online classifieds (or free classifieds) is one of the most powerful advertising tool available on the web today. Due to the simplicity of ad posting and the worldwide reach of classified sites, average advertisers can now sell their houses, cars, pets and even business ideas on a daily basis, and possibly for free, to thousands of potential customers.

There are many huge classified sites out there for us to choose from. Sites such as Craigslist, Oodle, Kijiji, Ablewise and Olx already have large worldwide user bases which the average user, like me and you, can tap into. Posting an ad with them (sometimes for a small fee) is as good as posting one in 100 other smaller sites. Your ad has good a chance of making a sale for you here.

These sites are not only popular and will generate lots of traffic to your ad, but they are also rich in features. Posting a photo along with your ad is no longer a hassle. Attaching files, posting comments, tracking statistics and adding enhancements are among the standard features these sites provide.

Online classifieds are gaining grounds on traditional newspaper advertising, slowly but steadily. The opportunity out there is huge and borderless (if you know what I mean). Look at the number of new players joining this playing field each month (like facebook and friendster) and you will realise that online classifieds are here to stay.
