    You will either need to do a lot of off page SEO work, PPC, or use classified ad sites like mdv pointed out. It's no different then any other site. I always try to recommend the free stuff first. Classified ad sites work really well for businesses that promote heavily on them.

    Agreed, just do a lot of SEO work. Make sure your on page SEO is on point, then start up your link building. Write articles, exchange links, join forums and get signatures - make posts, do lenses, hubs, blogger blogs, wordpress blogs, tumblr blogs, blog commenting, and other kinds of link building.

    For a classifieds site like yours, your best bet would be to utilize other classified sites. Also consider doing a little bit of SEO work. Find ways of optimizing the site and write articles so that you can increase your search rank. By increasing your ranking you will have better chances of being seen. There is always the option of using paid services, but try to use up all of the free options first. Good Luck

    I think SEO plays a very important role on classifieds.
    Cathaylist.com cost some money on building links and some SEO job.
    But we are still thinking how to attract more visitors.

    There are too many classifieds websites on internet...
    I think link exchange is good.

    Promoting a classified ad sites is just the same as promoting a site. You can do either of the following to promote your site:

    Search Engine Marketing
    Search Engine Optimization
    Website Optimization
    Social Media Optimization
    Pay Per Click
