Does anyone in the UK use Craigslist? or is there another site we should post to?
gumtree appears in a lot of the SERPs I'm starting to look at and it accepts business listings free, with the irritation that you have to target regionally. Its on my list to have a look at for automated submission for one client but I haven't got to it yet.
There's also a host of others like friday ad, viva street, preloved but it does seem to depend on your search terms how much you see them - having never used craigslist I'm not sure exactly how similar these are but I think they're all along the same lines.
If you're looking regionally some areas also have a lot of local sites which rank well and may take ads if they can't do a listing how you want one. Likewise niches.
Never used craigslist nor know anyone who does :)
(Not used gumtree either)

(also has nice list of other sites that may be of use)
I've posted jobs etc on gumtree in the past, but not used it as a means of traffic building. Oddly though, I was looking at just this on Monday.
Unfortunately I got distracted after seeing the following ad:
Swap My Car for your Seo and Link Building
gumtree.com/london/76/72514476.html
I assume that if you call the number it will be a car dealer wanting SEO.
Thanks!
