Upcoming Adveryday 5.0
It’s been a long silence in this blog again, and yes you are guessing it right, the author is a quiet guy, doesn’t talk much.
Well, this post is about the upcoming Adveryday 5.0. Lots of things will be improved or changed in this release. Stay tune! :)
Email Spamming Can Cost Business Loss
All of us received spam mails everyday. These mails are mostly advertising emails that sent to you without your pre-authorization or approval. They are often being sent in bulk, and targeted mass population. People or companies who are sending these type of emails usually intend to gain business/income with less effort or within a short time. This is obviously illegal and less moral.
I cannot be sure that if this is a shortcut to bring profits. But if you are a legitimate company or you really want your business to grow, never try sending this type of emails. If people do not like the email content, the mails could be marked as spam by them manually. And if many people do this, it will certainly change how the client’s mail filter behaves. The next time an email using the same domain or server is sent, the client mail server may automatically filter the email into spam mailbox. This doesn’t not only affect the existing email recipients but also to the new recipients.
Remember, any type of email will be meaningless if they are being filtered and not seen by the recipients. Sending spam mails not only can cause this long term effect, but also defame reputation.
Paid Ad Color Adjusted
As title, we have readjusted the background color of the paid ad feature, for a better display and visual for everyone :)
Sub Categorization VS Search in Classified Ads
Speaking of ‘Classified Ads’, the word ‘classified’ is to indicate that the ads are being categorized. This is necessary, because sometimes people wants to know where to start to look up for what they need, yes, the main categories. However, do people want to look into the categories of categories (sub category), or even the sub sub category?
My guess is not. Too many categories will just confuse the users, and make things become complex. Which is why we have not come out with the sub categories, we want you to search. Simply key in what you need, and tada! Result’s out. Convenient for advertisers as well.
Anyway, we might go into details someday, if things become necessary. Maybe for the SEO purpose, maybe for the better functionality purpose. In either way, Adveryday will stay innovative and brings you the best :)
Automatically Pick the Category for Your Ad!
This is an idea that we have already came out for sometime, and now it is available!
When you are designing a New ad, the system will automatically pick a suitable category for your ad base on the ad content and keywords. If the system cannot tell which category the ad should belong to, the default “Everything else” will be selected.
We cannot tell you that this is 100% accurate, but it definitely will save more of your time. Moreover, we will improve this accuracy over time :)
Great Benefits of Paid Ads in Adveryday
Paid ads in Adveryday gives you different level of options to advertise, but they are all lead to this same purpose: drawing higher traffic to your ad.
As you might know by now, you could purchase a bigger size or a more distinct color, compare with other general ads, your ad is definitely easier to be looked up by users among search results. And bear in mind that your ad is permanently listed (unless you delete or unpublish them), what you have purchased will be effective and help you in your business for a very very long time. Unlike other ad sites, our ads never expired.
Now, does it sounds like a very good deal to you?
Coming up, there will be more options for paid ads, for example the ‘always on top’ ads, the ‘full size image’ ads, and etc, which we believe will even benefit you and your business. Stay tune :)
A Better Font for Touch Devices
As many touch devices do not have compatible font as on PC or Mac, we have incorporate a new font for the ad text for your touch devices such as IPad, IPhone, or Android.
Thanks to the CSS3 feature (@font-face), now the text are even visible, and cleaner. We hope by implementing this new feature, we have just enhanced your pleasure of reading ads via mobile devices.
Still, there are a lot to improve for touch devices, and we are working on it :)
Post An Ad that is Not Necessary Yours
Most of the ads in Adveryday or other classified sites are posted by the advertisers themselves, to advert their OWN products, OWN services etc. This is nothing new.
Today, we would like you to think advertisement THE OTHER WAY. Post an ad that is not necessary yours. For example, there’s a new dessert shop newly opened nearby your place, post it as an ad! Someone is holding a party somewhere? Post it as an ad! There are tons of stuff that you could post. Although we are in the era of technology, there are still a lot people, especially the elderly, who have not been utilizing the power of internet to publicize their shops, products, or services. And you could help them.
When you post them, it should look like an ad, and it should be some information that others would want to know (Not including gossip or scandal :P).
Overall, it is almost like a information flow platform, more and more information could flow in, and you will never know how each of them could benefit someone else :)
Keeping the Pace with Touch Technology
It’s obvious that touch technology is becoming unavoidable in our daily life. Adveryday needs to keep up with the pace as well. To provide you a better browsing experience.
Today, we are pleased to announce that Adveryday.com is now touch screen compatible! The basic functionality like browsing the ads are implemented, but there are still a lot other issue that we need to deal with. Just keep in mind that Adveryday will become more and more user friendly for touch interface.
We have done some test, it should work on iOS and android platform. Feel free to email us if you found some bugs or something you wish us to improve on :)
What’s Keeping Us Busy?
Recently we are digging into touch technology. With the grow of touch devices including phones, tablets, we feel that this is the time that we improve Adveryday so that it becomes user friendly in touch devices. Besides, this is also what our app interface aimed for: Adapt to human’s natural behavior.
We hope that not much time from now, you will be able to use Adveryday.com on the touch devices like IPad. And we will surely continue to improve the usability on all types of touch devices from time to time.
There’s always some new and innovative ideas to be dug, and we are always busy at something that benefits you :)
