Thousands of ads are posted on different classified sites, and most of the ads are posted just to get popularity and are not legitimate. Many a time user searches and finds the ad related to him but the ad turns out to be Spam.

Most of the fake ads are found on free ad posting sites, users take advantage of it and use these sites as medium of promotion. There are number of free classified sites where publisher can post free ads in USA.

An ad is legitimate or not, is little bit difficult to know but not impossible, there are some certain type of sign which can create difference between real and fake classified ad.

Keep eyes on the repetition of ads, if the same ad is being posted continuously then that can be fake ad. Some business merchants allow posting continuously just to be visible among visitors so that they can grasp attention of readers and can get benefit of it in future. And on the other hand, genuine merchants take help of classified only when the need it and they post ads for a short time of period until there requirement is fulfill. When the purpose is only to get attention, publisher does not take help of paid listing sites he posts local classified ads only on free sites. So remember most of the which are posted only on free listings can be fake, although there are some free classified sites like Advert Classifieds which thoroughly prohibit Spam ads.

A legitimate ad is always posted under the proper category and sub category so that it can be reached to only potential reader. While in fake ads, publisher does not pay attention on proper categorization.

What will you consider an ad which is posted with fake contact information, improper information or without the contact information. Always ignore such ads which do not include contact information. A real ad will always include contact information like website, contact number, authority name. Easy and quick contact information is provided in genuine ads.
