If you have products or services meant for local use, then posting in classifieds will help. If your products are otherwise, then don't it.
Here I wrote a list of free classifieds websites with do-follow available http://clonephp.com/articles/dofollow-classified-websites/
Yes, classified are benefit for both area means get good backlinks and also help in your web pages indexing
You can use classifieds sites for advertisement purposes but it is not helpful for link building, as after some time, the ads would be disabled means you are loosing backlinks which is not good in SEO.
I say most, are just used for short term traffic, and promotion. It isnt advised for SEO, like others mentioned.
