most of the free classified ads have a time limit. and I want to know if the free classified ads can bring the backinks or not ?

For me I think there are only few who really give backlinks but like what you said it only have limited time so I would rather use the free classifieds for promotion purposes only. You might never know that it might give you a possible customer or client in the future.

No, they can't bring any backlinks, but they can give you some traffic which in trun can influence the links.

Classifieds today remove dofollow attribute on their site but it will give your site traffic.

Links for a short time will not bring backlinks to your site.

But if an ad can be online for few months and it was well-indexed without nofollow attribute, it could give you backlinks. Some ads can be renew too so it could be continued online. In a way or another, if you have a very interesting ad, you can get good benefits from it...

No doubt free classifieds are giving links but those kind of links are not valid by seo point of view

You can promote your website through classifieds and it will direct more customers to your website.

It'll not give you backlinks if it's for a short period of time or there's a time frame. But there are classifieds site that last up to years. You can post your ads there.

Majority of online classified ads expires in a short period of time and it is quite impossible for some to convert it as your website's backlink.Try other marketing options and link avenues that are more stable than online ads.

Many seo experts ignore classified ads now because its difficult to submit your ads on them also some of them have timie limits as you said.

Vivastreet are good for obtaining backlinks.

They don't charge to renew adverts and they prompt you to renew each week so that your advert moves back into a higher position for a while. Certain categories can offer a bit of PR juice and if you optimise your advert like a web page (with an appropriate title etc.) it should get picked up by Google fairly easy and quickly for long tail searches such as 'Guitar tuition in Manchester'.

Another trick would be to state for example 'areas covered covered include Manchester, Bolton, Stockport etc.' so that you might also rank for 'Guitar tuition in Bolton' etc.

Classifieds are gives instant good traffic, those links are not count as a back link.

I have never tried classifieds yet but would like to try once...

Yes, definitely it work best and better. But remember don't write same content means change title and description.
