    That site is popular? One customer is pretty good for a not so popular site ;) have you tried craigslist? I personally, don't really advertise in free classified sites anymore.

    Craigslist is a very popular one that quite a few people use so advertising there would not be a bad idea either. Its free so it won't cost you any money, just a few minutes of your time posting it.

    He is advertising his SEO services, that would be fine for craigslist. If he was selling used ketchup packets to the philippines then no I would not advise of using craigslist.

    I think EVERY advertising is good, if you earn more than you invest.

    Craiglist... these are free services and if you get 1 customer it is good advertising.

    Uwantads.com is a good way to advertise. Unlike other sites, you can customize your links to gain more attention from visitors. Your link is not burried under layers of redirect links. Uwantads has an online widget system like adsense, where your links will show on all of there affiliate websites.

    I had a look at your site and even posed an ad.

    I really like the idea (the model is similar to my free video advertising site) and I think it has a lot of potential, however there were a couple of issues I noticed.

    1. If there is a n error filling in the ad details (like I missed city) then I have to fill it all in again :(
    2. Your site has very poor spelling and grammar. You should get it checked. For example
    Should probably read

    Uwantads.com would like to thank you for posting your text ad on our site. We would like to let you know that by posting your text ad to our web site, deleted your text ad has been added to our unique widget system. Our widget system will allow for your text ad to be displayed on our affiliate web site(s) where your ad can be viewed by thousands of online visitors. If you would like to add our widget to your web site create an account know deleted.

    Also the colors you allow for the ads are ghastly. They degrade the look of your site.

    I'd say craiglist works best for you... give it a try and tell us your feedback!

    Craigslist is the king of classifieds sites. Webcosmo has one good feature, free to post in all categories, which craigslist doesn't provide. So webcosmo can serve your need for all types of classifieds. Recently webcosmo.com has been selected by Google as a highlighted website on their Ad Creation Marketplace. Its a very good recognition for webcosmo as a site offering a free service to all.
