Craigslist has nearly single-handedly destroyed the paid newspaper classifieds world.
You can use these website to post your real estate listings, sell your garage-sale stuff, promote new job openings, find potential applicants, and even sell your e/audio/books!
But it’s not the only player in town. Mashable has reviewed a whole bunch, and I’ve added to the list with their comments. Just about all of them are free, localized, categorized, and regulate themselves through an honor system. Here they are in approximate order of popularity:
- Google Base (attached to Google Product Search, formerly known as Froogle)
- Kijiji (eBay’s free listings, big internationally, just launched in USA)
- MySpace Classifieds
- Facebook Marketplace (becoming bigger than MySpace, and attracts an older audience)
- Yahoo! Classifieds
- Windows Live Expo (Microsoft)
- Village Voice, powered by Backpage
- OLX.com (big internationally?)
- Lycos classifieds
- Local.com
- PennySaver USA
- Trulia (for real estate only)
- Vast
- vFlyer (auto-posting to Google Base, Craigslist, and sharing widgets)
- Oodle, iqZone, Edgeio (are also multi-classifieds blasters, aggregators, and search engines)
- Verticlans (new)
- MyStore (new & very social sharing “2.0″ oriented)
- Yample.com is also social/2.0
- RealpeopleRealstuff.com (video-based classifieds)
- …AND SO MANY MORE (click to view Google search results for ‘free classifieds’)
