English term or phrase: classified ad
It's about an ad in the local newspaper. Once it says: "How much would it cost to have an ad for my business in your newspaper?" and then it says: "And how much would a classified ad cost?".

Now, what exactly is a 'classified ad', and what's the difference and/or what are the german terms?

Thanks!

Kleinanzeige
Explanation:
Those are the ones usually organized in columns by category (Wanted/Cars/etc.) - they are cheaper (charged by the word)

The other ad is probably a display ad, for which you need a design, logo, etc. (extra cost), and that is charged by size (1/8 to a whole page) ; add color and you're way up there
