With the increasing number of people depending on online sites for their daily needs and entertainment source, no wonder online ads are going to overtake print ads. I post free ads in the Philippines and it's giving me good feedback without spending any penny.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason online ads are getting more sales is that more and more people choose to get online to get information than to buy magazines or newspaper. I get to see classifieds in Manila for free instead of spending a few bucks for print ads.
