US Free Ads is a classified ad service that has been around since 1999.  Unlike many other classified ad sites, there are actually 3 different membership tiers to choose from.  Overall, it seems to offer much more than most other classified ad sites because along with posting ads, you can also submit press releases and announcements.  Along with personal use, it has proven to be an excellent option for internet marketers of all types.  To give you a better idea of what it is all about and how it could benefit you, here is a quick review of USFreeAds.

Account Types

USFreeAds has 3 different tiers or account types to choose from.  If you are not going to be promoting anything, then there is a good chance that the free account will be all that you need.  It provides free spam protection but limits you to running only 2 ads at any given time.  Additionally, if you are advertising for business or affiliate purposes then you are require to sign up for a paid membership.

There are two different paid memberships to choose from.  The Gold Membership is $10 per year whereas the Premium Membership is $9.99 per month.  There are a number of features that both membership levels share, however there are also some significant differences.

Shared Features

There are a number of shared features, however more stand out than others.  Most importantly the ability to place affiliate links and links to your website.  You will also get a personal page listing only your ads.  You can even insert a PayPal “Buy Now” button.  Finally, you will receive discounts on the price of feature ads.  There are several others, however these seem to be the most prominent.

Differences

While the similarities are important, so are the differences.  One of the most important differences is that the Gold membership has a cap of 25 ads running simultaneously whereas the Platinum membership has no restrictions.  Some additional benefits of choosing the Platinum membership include: uploading 12 images per ad, specify PayPal “Donate” button, create your own product catalog, bulk ad renewals, you can create your own categories for the ads, and much more.

Important Note

While there are a number of benefits to using USFreeAds for both direct sales, direct traffic, and SEO purposes, it is still a classified ads site.  This means that your direct sales and direct traffic will only provide immediate results.  In order to generate long term results, using USFreeAds must be a focal point of your strategy.  The short term results can be particularly useful for seasonal promotion such as Halloween or Back to School.

USFreeAds in Review

During the review of USFreeAds, the benefits of using this site is apparent.  You can make direct sales, create traffic for your website, and much more.  However, because it is a classified ad site, it will take some constant maintenance to create sustainable results.  Additionally, remember that in order to promote affiliate products or your website directly, you must have at least a Gold membership.

    I’ve also started using usfreeads to promote my website. A great way to get free links out there. I just posted an add a few days ago and have already gotten several hits. It was easy, and of course, free, to set up my ad. No reason not to take advantage of this resource.
