What is the secret to earn on classified sites

They offer "featured" ads.In Craigslist, users must pay in order to post ads in some categories.

Who can say that as they aren't selling own/affiliate products?

Firstly if is there asset that there page rank & alexa rank is increasing by using the visitor. They may make new terms & conditions for next generation. On the flip side there some sites where if one pay charge, his advertisement will show on the top of the list. on the other hand if one wants to wish his ad will be for 2/ 3 years he must pay the charge. Thanks.

On the other hand some site earn money by give extra facilities such as If one wants to make a add more than 1 year or, 2 year till 5 year or 9 years. Even some site take money by providing more facilities. such as by taking the ad in the top 10.

They make their money from paid ads, featured ads, and also from Google Adsense. I'm not sure if Craigslist uses Adsense though.

I didn't really understand your question but I think this reply will help.

The people who actually pay for their ads on Craigslist, make the most amount of money. The people who want their ads displayed for free and are looking for traffic, will probably not get as much traffic as they want.

That is indeed THE question ...and a good one.

According to AIMGroup.com, Global Classified Advertising alone is a $92B market.
The problem is the "labor" to post consistently, frequently and targeted correctly.
Each site has its own rules and complexity for posting. The money these sites make
is, typically, from advertisers who pay the sites to post their ads. These are big budgets
to be sure.

Craigslist is charging money now in the bigger cities to post job listings.

Craigslist can make the user/advertiser pay for almost anything they wish too, since they are a robust platform with millions of users.

They earn from featured ads. If you are looking to make money from craigslist, it is by posting ads to your services or products in the relevant category.

Like all advertising, it is a numbers game, the more views, the more leads, the more leads, the more prospects, the more prospects, the more sales, simple.

As to free classifieds, most are useless overall, Craigslist included. The key to success is having a product or service everyone needs or uses already, but you have a better technology which saves everyone who uses it big money. Now that is where classifieds will pull prospects which convert to sales.

I have used it all when it comes to marketing, and in most cases it is a hit or a miss, results have always been a crap shoot when promoting all the me too products or services which have tens of thousands competing for same thing. Not easy, so if I was to advertise, you want to use paid spots which rank higher than the millions of freebie ads do.

As example, I promote a new technology which saves thousands on TV and PayPerView Movies, UFC, MMA, WWE and Boxing all at no cost. Simply put, no one likes their cable or satellite company, so given everyone has a TV, most households average 2.9 per family, the demand is huge, the savings are huge, and the income is huge, so my results have been huge.

On the other hand, I have advertised hundreds of lessor hot niche products and barely got the usual 1% response rate that is typical in free advertising mediums. So again, it is numbers game, the more traffic to your ad, and then to your website, the more prospects and the more sales, it is that simple.

Success to all,

Craigslist small business section where one could advertise IM offers looks like its going downhill where lots of spammers seem to lurk around, however Gumtree I think is the only quality classifieds.

Craigslist & other sites that don't sell anything, earn just like facebook

Like other people said Craigslist is making money from featured advertising.All the big classifieds they do like that.
