The online classifieds business is huge. Sites like Craigslist, Oodle, USFreeAds and Backpage have massive traffic every day.
Did you know you can use our PHP free classifieds script to build your own classifieds site and get your piece of this online classifieds pie?
Below are a few ideas for types of classifieds sites that could be successful:
- Local Classifieds – Build a classifieds site for your town or city or region and charge for enhanced listings or monetize it with Google Adsense.
- Niche Classifieds – Build a themed classified ads site for a niche such as toy train parts, diaper coupons, auto parts, jewelry, etc.
- Personal Ads – Create a Personal Ads site for your hometown and get people to sign up and sell ads on it.
- Used Autos – Create a local classified ads site to sell used cars and trucks.
If you can get traffic to these sites and get them active, they can be worth quite a bit on the open market. I’ve seen small classified ad sites go for $3,000 or more on sites like Flippa.
Building directories or portals
As you may know, sites like Manta, Merchant Circle and many others make great revenues with businesses directories and portals.
The great news is with our script, you too can get a piece of the online portal industry. Here are a few ideas of types of directories or portals you could build with BCS:
- Local Business Directories – Build a local directory of businesses in your area – online local advertising is hot!
- Niche Business Directories – Why not make a directory of all licenses plumbers in the USA or maybe a directory of doggy day cares?
- Your Town Portal – Maybe you make a local online portal for your hometown. You could add business listings, consumer reviews and maybe even a forum or blog.
All of these types of websites can be monetized by selling local ads or placing Google AdSense on them and you can charge listed websites for enhanced listings.
Google and other search engines love these type of local directories and portals because consumers interact with them by posting reviews and inputting ratings for the companies on the sites.

“Great script, low price”
Bought this free classifieds script 3 months ago and i’m very happy with it. I spent a lot of time comparing different scripts at the market, but the choice was very soon clear. BuyClassifiedScript.com offered lots of functions for an unbeatable price. In the beginning i didnt make much money from my webpage but lately there has been a few dollars every day and its increasing.
