    its quite difficult because there are so many well established classifieds and craigslist websites with almost all possible features. but if you can think of doing things differently, good, else it could turn out to be a bad idea..

    I think it is very difficult to replace or compete with the ones that are already here. Since your topic and body message are the same thing, I think you are just lazy.

    For running a classifieds site one should be master in Marketing. Looking unique in lots of already available sites will work, you can't compete with old giants by launching a same looking site and hoping that people will come and post ads will definitely not work.

    Hi,

    I thing only more number of traffic only can built your website strong. People can only post their ads where find more visitors. So your first aim should be to promote your website to drag traffic.

    This is interesting because I recently purchased a classified site for cheap and pulled down the old design and only kept the domain name. I decided that there are to many classifieds to compete with and that I wanted to create a community. So I created a forum with classifieds. So I'll see how it works out.

    I find that classifieds can be successful with consistency. You have to actually be out there posting ads on a daily basis to really see the benefit in it. I've posted to places like Craigslist and Backpage with a great deal of success. It really has a lot to do with the type of ads you are posting and again, how consistent you are.

    I like this idea.. buying an already established classified site, updating and creating a forum to go with it. The forum done properly will keep it members active and they most likely will promote your classified site!

    Basically what I am saying is to take a successful idea and make it better. Classic example is Facebook is basically an improved MySpace!
    One tip, I can share is to keep your classified site basically spam/scam/fraud free, people like dealing with sites that they trust (so does Google)

    It completely depends on what classifieds your site provides. Is it a general classified site? Real Estate? Cars? Knowing what market you are trying to target will give you a clearer picture of what your marketing campaign should consist of.

    Best of luck.

    Yes , your are correct. For example 'backpage' , that is classified site for all category but usually people know it for escort services. So this depends on the benefit people gaining from the site and its popularity about several categories.

    Every classifieds website needs much popularity by brand name, promote your classifieds website on all social networking websites, and with email marketing,
    There are number of free classifieds websites check how they are promoting their brand name.
    Design classifieds website much user-friendly for the users - easy to post ads on related categories.
    Use Social sharing buttons for every post, users will share their ads on social media websites, You can also share those ads on social networking websites for traffic. Some classifieds websites won't give fast response after user post a classified. Must give quick response and place ad on classifieds website -dragginclassifieds
