To "Post free classifieds" is a form of advertising that is steadily gaining popularity among Internet users. The obvious reason is that it is free, unlike traditional classifieds advertising. But there is more to it. As a result of the vast amount of people who browse the Internet, free classified ads placed online have a greater reach than those placed in printed media. Online advertisement will give you a vital head start.

Since posting an ad is free, even startup businesses with cash constraints, can post free classified ads to promote the products or services they provide. "Ads For Free" can also be used by freelancers that want to get the word out about their services to potential customers.
Almost all the free classified websites have self regulation policies and the ads placed have a free form structure, i.e. you are free to write, edit and publish the content of your free classified ad. It can have a detailed description of your product or just the name of the item you are trying to sell and a phone number.
Also, on websites like Craiglist, you can post free classifieds anonymously. Your e-mail address is not visible publicly and instead all the responses to your ad are relayed to the actual e-mail address. Apart from that, if you wish not to receive any e-mails, then you choose other contact options too.
