Hello Andy,

I have not ever done SEO with classified advertising, I thought my site can get penalized by Google if it gets listed on low quality classified sites.

It really has nothing to do with SEO. Most classified ads site let the ads expire after 30 days, so you are gaining nothing of SEO value.

Classified listings can be a great option if you are doing local SEO for a project. The sites would show your business and map location if you could do it the right way. For this to happen, you need to create the business citation in the NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) format and maintain that throughout the site and each every posting. Also make sure that you have marked your business in the KML Geo sitemap. There are other things to be done too.

And then it expires in 30 days, so what good was that?

Classified ads should be used for direct traffic only. If you are using them expecting an SEO boost, you will be sorely disappointed.

It works for local projects.We will be having option to update our post.We will receive mail before expiring.

Classified listing is good for products based websites or for E-commerce websites.We can't ignore classified listings for E-commerce website.That's what my opinion.

For direct traffic, there is nothing wrong with using classified ads. It is a useless exercise for SEO.
