The word "zoekertje" comes from "zoeker"="somebody/something which seeks"; the ending "-tje" means small but that should not be taken too serious. The Dutch hang on the "-tje" very liberally without meaning ANYTHING! You could hedge your bets by writing "small/little advertisement".

You can go for this, or if you want "personal ads", since it's about looking for new friends, or all sorts of stuff for yourself. How about: "Looking for..." as a heading?

Where is the text going? If it's for the US, these small ads are called "classifieds" (i.e. they have classified sections for all different kinds, personal, selling stuff, offering stuff etc.)
