Email Spamming Can Cost Business Loss

August 8th, 2011

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.

Sub Categorization VS Search in Classified Ads

July 14th, 2011

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 :)

Great Benefits of Paid Ads in Adveryday

June 28th, 2011

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 :)

Post An Ad that is Not Necessary Yours

June 21st, 2011

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 :)

Like the Ads

May 23rd, 2011

To help our advertisers publicize their ads further, and to a bigger market, we have added a new convenient function ‘Like this ad’, check out the screenshot below:


The concept is really simple: Click on the ad and choose ‘Like this ad’. We make use of the famous ‘like’ feature in Facebook, so that everyone can easily like any ads, and the ad will be published to users’ social network in a blink.

We hope this will be useful :)

All Thumbnails Go Colorize!

March 17th, 2011

After pondering for 2 secs, we decided to implement this new idea by painting all the thumbnails with colors.

Adveryday is actually digitally existing on internet, it is a little silly to keep our ads in black and white like the old time newspapers. Most importantly, we think that you will love it more this way, and it is our job to serve you better :)

Investment and Finance Programs

February 18th, 2011

As mentioned in my earlier entry, we have included a new segment called “Investment & Finance”.

Have you realized that we see many advertisements on learning how to invest in recent years? Singapore is fast catching up on the global investment scene, with our population getting more savvy when it comes to money management. Be it stocks, forex, options, commodities or funds, there are numerous sources where you can get excellent learning resources from.

One example we came across is a Singapore-based trading advisory firm called APF Trading (http://www.apftrading.com/our-services). They offer clients advice on multi-asset trading strategies, signals, trading systems, execution services and trading platforms. The firm also conducts research and technical analysis with a focus on Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and DeMark Indicators. These are very interesting and comprehensive solutions which are uncommon in the region.

With so many ads, so many book titles and so many youtube videos to watch, sometimes it’s easy for the layman to get lost in all this information. That’s why here at Adveryday, we aim to streamline all supply and demand requests so that you, the user, will know exactly where you are heading.

2 New Categories

February 8th, 2011

We’ve just added 2 new categories to Adveryday, which are: ‘Furniture & Appliances‘ and ‘Investment & Finance‘.

Furniture and house hold appliances are quite a major things in our daily life. As for investment/finance, we believe it is a hot trend as well :)

Changes to the Categories

December 28th, 2010

As you know by now, we now have supply & demand classification for the ads in Adveryday. Thus we are removing both “I want to sell..” and “I want to buy..” categories, and introducing a new category: “Buy & Sell”. So either you are buying or selling things, this is the right category. If you are selling stuff, you are supplying; if you are buying things, you are demanding something.

We have also removed the “I’m looking for..” category. If you are looking for something, just post your ad into related category and set your ad nature to demand type. For example, you are looking for home gardening service, you could post your ad into “Home Decor / Service” category, and set the ad nature to demand. It’s that simple.

Market of Supply & Demand

December 28th, 2010

Classification of supply and demand has been launched in Adveryday! Now you can search according to your needs, either you are looking for certain supplies or you are going to fulfil other’s demands. You could set the ad nature as shown in the picture below:

Sometimes there is actually no fine line between supply & demand, some may not know whether their ads belong to supply or demand, well here’s a simple rule: If you are providing a service, selling something, renting out a room, offering a job, gives tuition, etc, you are supplying, your ads should be categorized into supply. People can look into supplies for the stuff you posted. And for demand, its vice versa. Usually, there will be very few demand ads comparing to supply ads.

Anyway, our team will help to fit your ads into appropriate categories and classification :)
