The classified
program is a great option for any active website that wants to
capitalize on its traffic by selling ad space or providing a free
classified for their users. The program is a standard feature at
is available to everyone with a hosting account.
The classified is very
configurable allowing you to specify categories, sub categories
and pricing and options. You can allow users to post free ads or
charge them for the ads. The program will auto expire ads at the
time interval you specify, so all ads are current. The maximum ad
duration is 3 months with a minimum ad duration of 1 day.
Ad pricing can be set by
category, so you could allow free ads for "lost pets"
and charge $10 for "realestate for sale" and charge $5
for a car for sale. This allows you flexibility in ad value.
The program supports up to 500
concurrent ads with 1 photo each. Photos are optional and you can
even charge an additional fee to insert a photo in the ads. You
can let users edit or delete the ads or just let them expire at
the set interval automatically.
You can also charge a premium
for featured ads. The featured ads will appear on the main page
as well as appearing in bold print in their main listings and
searches. You can choose to fill the slots with unpaid ads when
there are no paid ads available. As soon as there are paid ads
the system will stop displaying the standard ads.
The program also allows users
to search all the ads so they do not have to scroll through 50
pages of 10 ads each as your classified fills up.
This classified will work well
if you want to run a small classified for an organization such as
a church or club or an all out business to business services
classified. It will work as a personals classified, a jobs
classified, an industry specific classified, a local community
classified or pretty much a classified for anything you can think
of.
The program can also be a huge
income generator. If you run ads for 30 days and charge $10 for
each ad, 500 ads would give you a monthly income of $5,000.00 or
$60,000.00 a year. Even with only 100 ads at $2.00 each that is $200
a month less the $10 for the website hosting leaving $190.00
profit.
A program of this caliber has
massive potential and appeal. The earning potential is huge and
the possibilites are endless. But don't get over confident and
don't lose sight of what your website already has in the search
of the big advertising bucks.
It is always easier to launch
your classified in a smaller or targeted market. If you run a car
club, offer the listings to your members and others will surely
add their own cars. Or target a local market or community that is
reachable through local advertising. If you can get people to
your classified, the programing will do the rest.
This is a fully automated
system that can change the dynamic of your website and make it an
interactive and informative marketplace for your industry.
The program should be used for
what it is and you should not expect to be launching the next
craigslist. It will serve as a great small classified and a
powerful tool on your website. A website can be built around the
program or the program can be an extra for the main site content.
In either case, it will is powerful tool and is available to
every website.
Our company runs many online
classifieds and it is not an easy market to enter. However, it is
very easy to enter a small niche market or capitalize on existing
site traffic. Try to focus your efforts on something manageable
and do not think too big out of the gate.
This program uses some of the
same technology as our own classifieds with tens of thousands of
ads. It is very powerful, but it's capacity must be limited to
fit our very low hosting price. We want to make the highest level
of technology available, but we want it to be affordable also.
Nevertheless, it is one of the most powerful programs available.
It is also one of the most
difficult programs to configure. If you have a background running
classifieds, it will be easy. But for the rest of us, the
learning curve may be a bit longer.

pages or for information about the setup, read the classified help
