Welcome!

A recent article in Entrepreneur.com by Roy Williams (an expert in advertising) stated the following:

"Online ads are the Brave New World of Marketing, an uncharted frontier of opportunity and danger. With online ads, you can get an extremely high return-on-investment for just a little time and a little money..."

TheMarketZone Classifieds© is not only a nationwide Online Classified Advertising website, it is, by virtue of the internet, world-wide. In fact, at this moment, roughly 10% of our current users come from outside the United States.

TheMarketZone.Com Classifieds© does something your local newspaper cannot do - it allows you to create your own ads - right from your home or office - anytime, anywhere 24/7. Participating is as easy as registering (free), selecting a main category and then a subject specific sub-category to place your ad. At the time of this writing, we have 34 main categories & over 570 sub-categories.

Please read our User Help (at the top of this page) for instructions on how to create your account (free) and place your ad. By scanning these areas first, if you have a question later, you will know the answer or know precisely where to look. Of course, if you run into something we haven't answered, use the "Contact Us" icon (bottom of page) to email our team.

If you are unsure about whether you can advertise your product or service, review our “Terms of Use” section. This section helps identify those items we are not able to accept for advertisements. It is lengthy, however subject specific links are listed ahead of the terms areas to allow you to go directly to the area you are interested in.

The Savings? Frankly, there is no comparison. If you have ever placed a classified newspaper ad, you already know the larger newspaper organizations charge $23 up $60 on average for a weekend ad. Not only are our rates 90% cheaper than newspapers (a basic ad starts at $2.00 for 10 days), every new registering user receives $20 automatic credits (value of 10 basic ads)  to advertise FREE!

If you eventually need to purchase more "credits" (explained in "User Help") our transaction gateway uses "PAYPAL", the largest, internationally known secure payment resource. All transactions take place outside our own website in a secure environment to guarantee your piece of mind. Why PayPal? Because after researching online credit card payment sites, we found only 3 we felt were truly secure and Paypal is the single larges and most professional payment processing site in the business. After having tested it for 3 years, we found no flaws in literally over 100 transactions. It's simply the safest payment processor in the market today.

To get started, we encourage you to look at two areas for reference. First, look at the ads in "What's Hot" (icon top of page). Then look at either the “My Neighborhood Classifieds” or "Services" or perhaps "General Merchandise". These three areas give you a good idea of the categories available to you. Here you can advertise yard sales, garage sales, sell used furniture or appliances, your car, truck, dog, spouse (well, maybe not that) or publish your wedding announcements, neighborhood announcements and more.

Second, read through the "User Help" and "FAQ" icons (top of page) to become acquainted with the operational features of this site.

If you are a skilled professional or skilled tradesman, own a business or are in the sales industry, we now have an inexpensive way to let the world know you exist. Coupled with our search tool (bottom of every page), you will be getting business in no time.

Businesses with a need for ongoing ads or advertising that changes weekly, should "Contact Us" to allow our advertising department communicate special offers for businesses.

Registration is free. Using this site is very easy. You can load up to 5 pictures for pennies. I have outlined the benefits of using our website below as compared to your local newspaper or other advertising venues.

On behalf of our team - Welcome to the website designed for everyone and priced to reduce your advertising costs! And by the way, I want your suggestions for improvements – After all, you are the Customer!

         5 Reasons to Use Our On-line Classifieds

• It's free to sign up!
  There are no registration fees for standard membership. Buyers are never charged to participate!
• It's easy to create a classified ad!
  Read our FAQ & "User Help" sections to learn how to create a great-looking online classified advertisement and how to make sure your ad is found. Your ad can run 10-20-30-45-60 days. You will be notified automatically for renewal opportunities. Renewal is as easy as clicking a button!
• We provide text space up to 1,000 characters (Did you know your newspaper only provides 3 lines / 33 characters per line maximum (and one of those line has to be your phone number), yet they charge $23 for only 2-3 days?). Our ads provide 10 times more space while cutting costs by 80-90% (Your newspaper isn’t ever going to offer that). Easy-to-use advertising at a cost that will remain truly user friendly.
• Our categories and subcategories are designed to place your ad exactly where it can be found! There are 34 main categories and more than 570 sub-categories available for you to choose from. In addition to this, our search engine (bottom of each page) searches world-wide or can be targeted by "Keyword", City, Zipcode, category or any combination of these search tools. Can your newspaper do this?
• We provide for up to 5 pictures. Pictures sell! If eBay and other sites have proven nothing else in the last 10 years, pictures are the key to quicker and more profitable sales.
• We keep it simple. Once you register, that's it. Any time you want to place an ad, you simply log in and write the ad yourself! You can edit the ad over and over for no additional cost. Use any computer, anywhere, anytime. No additional cost. No complex directions - no tricks – a free membership - free searching and you control the information you give to others. No more allowing the entire world to see your private information if that is your concern. You write only what you want seen. Even the email address you register with us is hidden from readers unless you place it in the text of your ad.

    Finally, and we think most importantly, we are not involved in your transaction. You can even run an auction if you wish or perhaps offer trade or barter. It's your ad!

Note: If you are a first time user, please remember that all ads are scanned for content. This means that after you post your ad, you will receive an email confirming the creation of the ad, but it will not appear live on our site until our team reads and activates the ad. This can cause a 24-48 hour delay depending on the day of the week. In most cases, ads are activated in 24 hours. If you change the content of the ad, this same review occurs. Reviews only look for "prohibited content" (covered in our "Terms of Use")

Oh, and by the way…please make sure you tell your friends. We are actively marketing to make sure your ad is seen by as many people as possible. We are asking you to assist us by sending our web address to as many of your friends and acquaintances as you can. The sooner we are known coast to coast, the more effective your ads will be. That is why we are giving everyone $20.00 (10 basic ads) in free advertising - our way of saying "Thank You" in advance for telling your friends.
