Classificados Gratis
by Craig Gibson Colombian Expert
There are many sites that offer free classified adds for Colombia and many other countries. Some of the sites are big international companies who don't always specialize or tailor their sites for the local markets. Free classified ads done correctly for the local market are rare. A site for example just for Clasificados Gratis Colombia would be different than a site that just blanked the entire world, like some do. It is always better to concentrate on a particular geographic area.
There are different parameters specifically for a classified website for Colombia. There are cultural differences, currency differences, and decimal and comma differences when displaying different currencies. And obviously Colombia is a Spanish speaking country. When I go to a site I want it already in the native language and tailored exactly for that particular market.
A site that does not force you to make so many choices is also much easier to use. Most of the larger sites are a hassle to use. It is like the old saying KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. It is annoying to have to make so many choices to place an ad. Some classified websites make a person jump through so many unnecessary hoops. In addition to that, some of these larger sites require text messages, or emails and sometimes test calls to your telephone to confirm your existence. By the time one is ready to place an ad he or she is already a bit frustrated. Then most sites require many choices and further explanations to continue to place the ad.. When one is all done the add gets lost in a sea of other adds, because the search process to find something leaves a lot to be desired.
There are classified ad websites that utilizes no nonsense easy to use programs for posting and finding free classified websites. When I go to a site I want it already in the native language and tailored exactly for that particular market. And I want a user friendly process to post the add and a simple but efficient search mechanism to find the ad.
This type of site will have features that enhance the search for products or services and view them clearly. For instance, on some of the better sites when you mouse over an ad picture, it is automatically enlarged. Many of the listings are posted on a featured listing bar for easy viewing on the more efficient websites. On an efficient site, there are enough categories to list a product for sale but not so many as to make the process cumbersome. This makes it easy to find a product or post an ad. Hopefully, one is allowed more than one picture to display the item. On a good site, the site automatically sizes the pictures for you. And lastly most good sites alert one to other articles for sale by the same person. Another feature that is nice is when one can view all of one persons adds, as in an online store. This is ideal for a store that wants to present it's inventory.
Most of all, a site should make the process of advertising or finding an item or service as simple as possible. One won't be toggling between their email and the ad site to get set up on a hassle free site. Individuals and companies can advertise as many items or services as they like on most sites. Another twist that is an advantage, but rare, is that the site features a blog page to let you talk about whatever one wants. The idea is to make the process of buying and selling products and services more fun and easier to use.
