classified ads
Newspaper sales section
Classified ads are brief advertisements organized by category in newspapers or online platforms.
Unlike display ads with graphics and varying sizes, classifieds follow a standard format and group similar listings together—jobs, housing, vehicles, personals.
The term comes from this classification system: I found my apartment through the classifieds.
Often shortened to classifieds.
