My opinion of on-line classified ads can be summed up in two words: Don't Bother. The only people who spend time on on-line classified ads are the sellers, not the buyers. Therefore you only hope here is that by some miracle your ad, out of the thousands of others, catches some sellers eye. In addition to this, you have the same issues of time and volume that are present in the FFA Links Pages.
There are also classified ads that for a fee offer premium placement, flashy graphics, colored print and a host of other features to make you ad stand out. My opinion of these offerings is not much better than my opinion about the free on-line classifieds. If you have a very unique product or service, something that everyone just has to have, by all means give this avenue a try. But if you are like most of us, whose products are not that unique or vital to everyone's survival, you would be better off spending your web promotion campaigns time, money and resources in other places.
