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! :)
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
Dynamic search is popular and can be convenient for searching, which is why we brought it into Adveryday.
Just key in your search keywords, a short menu with related keywords will appear instantly. These keywords are sorted by total count of search results in descent order :)
Sometimes there could be too much results to be viewed after a search. We can’t have all the time to read them one by one. So we invented this “Relevance Shading” (RS) feature.
The idea is simple, we help you visualize the search result through different shading of colors. The background color of the ads will be changed from WHITE to another color, which in our case THIS COLOR.
Ads with colors that are closers to the white color are MORE relevant to the keywords.
Ads with colors that are closers to the this color are LESS relevant to the keywords.
In this way, user can visualize the result easily, and finding what they need is now even quicker. If you do not like the shading, just turn it off from the search option panel by choosing ‘Relevance’ (without ‘RS’) :)
P/s: Same thing applies to ‘Find similar ads’ function. Boolean search will have same relevance for all ads, thus will not be showing any shading effect.
