It’s simply not enough to advertise your real estate listings only on MLS. Every real estate professional does that. Posting on major classifieds sites like Kijiji and Craig’s List is very helpful, but only doing that won’t help your  website get ranked highly in search engines. Posting your real estate listings on a wide variety of online classifieds sites will both widen your listings’ exposure and greatly help with your website’s search engine optimization,  providing these other online sites allow you to create a link back to your personal website.   Therefore you should always make sure that if the advertising site does not have a separate area to create a link back then you should add a hyperlink in the home description to your site.

Here are 37 classifieds sites you can post your listings on. All of them are free:
