I don't think they're dead. I have friends who make money out of it. And they earn big. However, In my case, I'd still prefer social media. It's more convenient for me and I'm earning through it. My friends do earn a lot bigger since they've already got the hang of it in posting in classifieds.
I just found a new classifieds site called zoogala.com. It is free to use. They have a lot of different categories. I just signed up. It's cool
For sure not. Like other's have said, the quickest way to get your message in front of a whole bunch of eyeballs. But if that's the only way of getting them...well, that's a problem...
There are still some top classified website are still workable but most of them offer paid classified . Free classified mostly unable to reach huge traffic or your post just hard to search out . Focus on classified to get traffic, there still have their niche traffic . If focus on SEO , it might not be that useful anymore because google lower the weight of short content posting and even come with advertise and have no quality content.
No not really....I use classified but I know of some people who are getting some great results with it Well i am using classifieds over the years and get better results during the time period
Still classified help you to generate good number of backlinks to boost your visibility and page rank.
