    You could post a couple of items that you have on the site and link them back to your site.

    Just something to think about though. Why would people want to leave the site that is getting traffic to come and post on a site that has no traffic or potential buyers? I know all sites have to start somewhere but it's hard to compete with people like Craigslist that have millions of potential buyers already there.

    Make sure your site has a decent amount of items on it already. Yourself, friends, and family need to post on it so it doesn't look empty when people visit it. Nothing worse than spending time and effort trying to get people to your site only to have them leave and never return.

    When someone want to offer their service, they will go to a popular site first, but when desperate for it, they will eventually needs to find more places to post their ad. That is your chance to get your client. So you should try SEO and start learning about it for your next move. I still don't understand how Craiglist can help, but you can learn about classified ad business in there.

    Probably one of the biggest challenges is people want to post on a site that is already busy. Make sure that your site has current content on the homepage and all pages that are one click off the homepage. Make sure the site is interesting and looks professional. It doesn't do a lot of good to work on SEO or building traffic until you have the site well positioned to receive the traffic and grow from it.

    Find your competitors first and make sure to offer more features than all of them together combined. We are in a time that competition is super high and just providing free classifieds is not enough.
