Classified ads are short advertisements that are typically found in newspapers, magazines, or online platforms. They are used to promote various services, products, job openings, or real estate listings. These ads are usually organized into categories, making it easy for readers to find what they are looking for. People often use classified ads to buy or sell items, find employment, or offer services like plumbing or tutoring. They are a cost-effective way for individuals and businesses to reach a local audience. Many websites also allow users to post classified ads for free or for a small fee.
