Useful clarification and a short action plan for based on the replies from , , , and others.

Many classified sites treat outbound links differently: some provide a dedicated URL/website field, some auto-convert plain http(s) addresses into clickable links, and many will strip HTML or rewrite links through redirects (often adding rel="nofollow"). That means an HTML anchor will only work where the site allows it, and even visible links may carry little SEO value. The practical goal with classifieds is usually referral traffic and leads, not long‑term link equity.

Quick checklist to follow before posting:

  • Inspect the ad form for a dedicated website/URL field and use it when present.
  • Post one short test ad and view the published result to see whether plain URLs become clickable or if HTML is stripped.
  • If links are blocked, place a clear branded domain (example.com) or a user‑friendly short landing URL in the copy so readers can type/copy it; use a unique subdomain or landing page per site for tracking.
  • When direct linking isn’t possible, use allowed contact fields (phone, email, social) or upload an image/QR code that points to a landing page—always check the site rules first.
  • Avoid mass automated posting, repetitive identical ads, or cloaked redirects; those trigger removals and can violate terms.

Tracking and risk notes:

  • Treat classified links as traffic sources, not SEO boosters; many are nofollow or routed through the site.
  • Use unique landing pages and UTM parameters to measure conversions.
  • Don’t use deceptive cloaking or banned shorteners; follow each site’s TOS to keep listings live.

Quick troubleshooting: if a posted link disappears, re-check the ad’s HTML (or ask support), try a plaintext URL with protocol, or create a tiny test page on your domain and link to that so you can validate click behavior before scaling.

different sites have some different ways to add the link so you should have to first know about the whole sites and add the links a/c to the sites.

You can find a space where you can put your links on, every classified website has its own way. But I am sure you can it out in the classified site.
