Newspaper listing used to be the main venue of classified advertising for people wanting to buy, sell or get something done.

Now in an era where the Internet has become a market hub, online advertising has become the “in” thing for the Netizens.

Advantages of Free Online Classified Advertising

Online classified advertising offers several advantages over traditional classified advertising. One, it can reach a wider market, not only categorically, but more importantly, geographically. Second, it can reach potential customers faster, literally at the click of the mouse. Third, in some cases it can provide immediate buyer-to-seller interaction, which is impossible for traditional advertising. But the most important advantage of all, you can avail it for free. Unlike newspaper advertising in which you have to pay a considerable amount to have an ad space, online advertising is free in many Web sites.
