    Hello, in my opinion, classified ads are one of many ways to generate traffic, but should not be the sole method.

    Oh no.. Theres a guy here in Tampa who only uses Craigslist to market.. He's has all types of sneaky ways... I'm sure there've knocked a dent in his wallet but he was able to make $5,000+ with EN and I think $400 a week with MCA...

    Its all dependent on your system that you run them through... Simple as that...crappy systems don't make money

    It's not dead but there are better ways to get traffic, such as social media. :)

    I would say it's rather dead except Craig's list.

    You can try craigslist and gumtreeads. If you follow these two classified then you can generate leads.

    You can promote any business through a promotional video which goes more viral :)

    Of course not, classified are still working and can provide backlinks as well, classified represents your business through a user can have a look on your business's profile. Hence it helps to generate traffic as well as business.

    Totally depends on what business you are in.

    I doubt a Restaurant will have much luck with classifieds postings...

    A random website trying to spam a classifieds site to promote its new site, even less...

    But a real estate agent might get a huge traffic boost if the classifieds site is busy and the listing is in demand...

    I think classified ads are great if your consistent with them. Your intended market must see your ads several times before they will buy. Just like email marketing or any online marketing. Most people don't buy on the first viewing of an ad.

    Depends on the niche. Real estate will always need classified ads and vehicles.
