Marketing with online classifieds?

    I have just started making money online, but I was told that the fast easy way to get traffic is free classifieds.

    So I went to these sites
    www.caklassifieds.com
    www.craigslist.org
    www.thefreeadforum.com

    The first is the best for long term advertising but I need more sites to advertise free at.

    Does anyone know others?

    Free advertising is great, but I recommend investing a little money in paid classified ads. If you have a compelling sales letter/website, the returns will be worth spending a little money up front.

    I found that Craigslist is pretty good. I often get emails within the hour after posting on there

    What types of "things" do you guys advertise on a classified site? Are they products or services? Or are you trying to advertise your website, with the intention of driving traffic?

    I've had pretty good luck using free-ads. I'd recommend using a tracking system to find where people found out about your site. Finding what works and determining the target market will be crucial in the early stages.
