    I've used gumtree in the past.

    It brings drops of traffic here and there, nothing significant. This is something you want to outsource to freelancers.

    May be for selling or requesting services or items, but not for promoting web sites -its's full of spam and duplicate messages

    I have used them in the past for marketing my sites, with limited success, like someone else mentioned a trickle of traffic at best.

    A lot of dating ebooks these days promote GumTree for making free classifieds and ads there. So it looks spammy to me if it is being promoted in dating ebooks.
