Which is better, a free classifieds website or paid classifieds website? What are the pros and cons?

both have there own pros and cons and it also depend on which count...

Most websites offer both free / paid classifieds, the best things in life is free. Unless you need the features included in the paid listing otherwise take the free option. Try http://www.postads.com.au

Whether its Free or Paid, what matters is to give right information. If not no one gonna respond your ad. See helpful guide explaining  about classifieds ads posting: http://www.slideshare.net/adzilindia/how-to-be-richer-than-bill-gates I have seen lots of spam ads like this in classifieds like Olx and Quikr websites. I have used some Classified sites like http://www.adzil.in , http://www.locanto.in/ etc where I have seen less spam ads.

Paid classifieds are better than the free ones for obvious reasons. Guaranteed exposure, longer run times, larger ads - in a word better exposure for you with more chances of a client clicking through to your online classified ad. Paid classified ads,generally get 10 times the exposure of free ads - they also say something about you, the advertiser: "This person or (Your Business) is serious".Here are the recommended categories you should place your ads in: Business Opportunities, Income Opportunities, MLM, Employment, Announcements, Professional Services, Internet Marketing, Real Estate, Automobiles, Website Design, and more...Paid advertising gives you much more control over targeting. For instance, you can target specific demographics, specific industries, specific platforms, and specific regions.

I will normally opt for the Free version unless its urgent. To give you an example if you need to relocate and need to sell your stuff quickly it's better to go for a Paid option and have your Ad featured.Normally the Popular Classified websites get you a response for the free version also.If you are wondering which websites to go for Google is your best friend. Craigslist is good. Apart from that each country / region have there own favorites.I normally prefer to use:Quikr - http://quikr.com OLX - http://olx.com Apnaarea - http://www.apnaarea.com All these sites have been in business for several years now. You might find your own favorite.

According to my point of view https://ajman.dubaiposter.com/ is better than paid classified because we can give the paid services in free classifieds but in the case of paid classified website we can offer paid services ,that creates problem in promotion of the website .

Spamming is one the biggest issue with classified website but we https://www.google.co.in/search?q=Classifiedwale#q=Classifiedwale&nfpr=1 don’t promote spams at all. Everyday we reject 30–50 posts which can be considered as spam.Answering your question Paid classified website.We have three plans on our website - Bronze - it’s Free Silver - Rs.300/- Gold - Rs.500/- The paid listings let you have all the amazing features of our platform.

Both have its advantages and disadvantages, but I would ask you to prefer free sites because submission on free sites brings you on top not very fast like paid submission but once your site comes in top 10 doing these free submission, it will be for long term. Some sites are: Olx quikr Locanto http://indiaaclick.com http://click.in
