Wal-Mart offers free online classified ads

Are you selling a car or real estate? Looking for someone to fill a job? Selling concert or sports tickets or miscellaneous items?

If so, take advantage of Wal-Mart’s new free classified ads which the giant retailer started offering about three weeks ago in partnership with Oodle.com, which aggregates listings from more than 80,000 local and national sites.  Wal-Mart’s new site allows visitors to search for items by city. Listings are free to buyers and sellers.

Walmart.com classifieds says it reaches more than 5 million consumers each month through a network of sites including newspapers, portals such as Lycos, and online communities such as Military.com.

Clearly, this site is a major competitor for Craigslist, a powerful publicity tool, and eBay’s Kijiji. It also means more bad news for newspapers, which have seen thousands of dollars in classified ad revenue lost to Craigslist.

    Here’s another resource Joan,

    MySpace also allows for classified ads and follows similar dos and don’t that Craigslist requires. Posting an ad is free however one needs an account to post. It could be another resource for serious Publicity Hounds. http://www.classifieds.myspace.com/
