Anyone can post an ad; we do however ask that you refrain from posting Classified ads that include Vulgar, Illegal, Sexual, Sexist or Racist content, as they will be removed immediately. The accounts of habitual offenders may be suspended without notice and their details may be forwarded onto the relevant authorities. Why are all Ads $10? Unlike many free ad sites, we pay many third parties to advertise our site in many ways; this increases exposure to everyone’s ads, we are also pro-small business owner oriented and don’t believe they should pay extra to post so others can post spam and junk ads at everyone’s expense. We seek to foster quality ads at reasonable rates, and we actively monitor, solicit, promote, manage and host a classifieds site that our county residents can rely upon and be proud of. What is the difference between classifieds and business classifieds? There is no difference, many sites seek to take advantage of small business operators, again we treat everyone equally and charge one low flat fee across the board asking everyone to simply post their ad in the general classifieds area for simplicities sake. If a business wants enhanced exposure we encourage them to further explore our banner ads placement on the homepage at reasonable rates. How do I write a really good ad? Write a good title Your title is the most important part of your ad; your title should be as descriptive and complete as possible. If you are selling a Mustang, your title should be “1995 Red Ford Mustang” rather than “Great Old Mustang” Use of very descriptive key words will help search engines find your ad more often too! Write a good description Tell them everything they would want to know about your item, job offer, pet, house or vehicle without requiring them to ask much more. Short ads with no information perform poorly while successful ads have lots of information and great photos. The ad should answer all of the buyers’ questions without them having to ask. Tip: load tons of photos at www.photobucket.com for free and put the link to them in your ad! Make sure it is clear The most successful classified ads are the ones with proper spelling and text formatting (i.e. NO ALL CAPS), good punctuation, a clearly stated price, great title and description with high quality photos. The more information the buyer has before the connection - the less time you will waste with the lookers.
