Finding Sources of Traffic is a never ending activity for us internet marketers. This search brought me to a source which is probably under-utilized – online classifieds.
I was surprised at the number of links I would click when I am at an online classified ads site. I would in fact start searching for one thing and move onto so many ads that were either not related to my original search terms or, was a variant of something that I started searching. This is where it struck me to advertise my business online.

Since there is no fee or advertising charges involved, these classifieds can be a good way of putting your business in front of your customers and generating visitors. This is cheap traffic which might not be targeted but can convert well if advertised well.

Let us evaluate the reason why you would click an ad at a classified site. At the first place I would go to a classified ads site only if I am looking at buying some product or, a service. Another reason why I would go to a classified ads site is if I want to list something up for sale. In both these situations, if I am not a seller, then my area of interest might just not be a single niche.
Let’s suppose I am looking for a website designer and click through to an online Classifieds site. As I browse through the various ads, I come across an ad on a blog installation service. Any reason why I will not click on that ad?
The funniest aspect is that even people who search on totally unrelated products click on ads when they see a nice ad script. People searching for cheap cameras can even click on your ads about a make money online site. The reason why they will click on it is the advertisement script.
