http://globallistings.org/ is another great GLOBAL classified ad site. Bad thing about craiglist is that ads expire and advertisers have to waste time to re-post them regularly. Unlike GLOBALLISTINGS, they don’t impose artificial expiration dates, the ads may remain online as long as they are relevant.

Plus, I’ve read that until March 15 2010, you can get NINETY percent discount on all your GlobalListings.org posting by simply using promotional code 5a2c0ec3

I had a look at americanlisted and I agree on that itâ€™s very neat. Even found some interesting stuff in my little town.

I agree about Oodle. Nice site, but they are not showing all cities in US. I just find out a new site called americanlisted.com. You can select every state, city, zip code etc. The point with classifieds is to be local. I don’t want go to other cities to buy for example a used bike for $50. I like the Â´structure they have. It’s so easy.

I’m going to have to agree with mike on this one. iList is definitely a pretty rad site, its got a sweet interface plus I can link my social networks with the site and share my ad with all the people I know. Totally worth taking a look at.

I agree, specialty websites, like real shops, provide better results. Having a aggregator like Oodle provides more convenience.

I think oodle is great; I’ve used it many times to look for stuff like used high end office chairs. However, I’ve found myself gravitating towards the vertical specific engines for things like house, jobs and cars; I’ve found the vertical search engines to have better and more indepth functionalities given their sole focus on one thing. For house listing searches, I use Trulia; for jobs, I use indeed.com; for car search, I use iseecars.com.

Thanks for the tip Mike! I’ll take a look at iList and if all goes well, probably write about it.

Oodle is definitely a step up from Craigslist, as far as the interface is concerned, but so are most other sites made within the last 8 or so years. Either way, its good to see some color on a classifieds site, and the lack of graphics will definitely cause fewer distractions and promote a “get in, get out” mindset.

If someone was looking for more than just a quick fix, I’d suggest taking a look at iList. It’s a great social classifieds site which promotes a community and is all about users helping other users spread the word about their listings to maximize their audience.
