Sites

The Most Frequently Viewed

Free Ad Posting Sites

Posting classified ads may sound old-

school, but don't underestimate its power
(if posted at the correct place). Not all
free ad posting sites weigh the same
authority.

You would like to know that the ad will be

viewed by prospective buyers who will be
interested in whatever it is that you are
advertising.

Here is a compiled list of the TWELVE

most frequently visited sites where you
can submit your ads to.

The sites below are listed according to

their Alexa ranking on the date of
publishing this article. They might
be different if you check at Alexa.com
today.

If you post your ad on one of these sites

there is a good chance that many people
will view your ad, which in turn will lead to
a positive response for your business.

and services locally and internationally.

You might be wondering, its Alexa rank is

10 435, but why does it make to the top
#3? It's an exception that I have to make,
OLX has many sub-sites that are serving
different countries. Judging only from its
parent olx.com's alexa rank won't
produce a valid ranking in the list.
