I have this great website where anyone at present can submit classifieds for free, but it seems that many people have a kind of fear for things that are offered free of charge. How can you take away the visitors doubt if you are not as big as for example e-bay. What can be done to gain trust without spending the same amounts on advertising like e-bay does???

I know google adsense etc., but it has proven to be a waiste of money as most visitors are searching for something. To be successfull with adsense you need the advertisers first. The visitor expect to see adverts on your sites, otherwise he/she will not return. I get lot’s of compliments from visitors for the site, and strangely enough I have quite some hits according to the site stats. That’s why I don’t really understand why anyone just give it a try. Is it really only about traffic???

Maybe someone can provide me usefull and serious information.

I got 43 clicks for and lost my butt! That is my first go around. I may have made one buck in adsense! That seems to be a waiste of money! Is there a better way to get traffic? For i would hope to get 500 visits! Does anyone know the best solution?
yes i did have things set wrong and it cost me! I finally figured it out! It would not show me any clicks and said that my bid was too low! Then I raised and raised it some more. Then i checked it an hour later and i owed them a bunch. lol I did have a low budget of ten per day! I was a little off on the time chart too, i read it wrong! IT could be a little more clear for us redneck folk!
