classified advertisement

Short paid notice

A classified advertisement is a brief notice placed in a newspaper or online listing, typically organized by category—jobs, housing, vehicles, personals.

Unlike display ads with graphics and prominent placement, classifieds are text-based and grouped with similar listings: She found her apartment through a classified advertisement.

Often shortened to classified or classified ad.
