Give your Advert Extra Exposure!

There is going to be a chance for you (the users) to get that bit more extra exposure for your adverts. Due to the site growing in popularity and the increase of ads being placed on the site, we want to offer the ability for users to gain that bit more extra exposure. You will have four options...

Featured Ads - For £2.80 per week, your advert will get maximum exposure by remaining at the top of listings in the relevant category

Highlighted Ads - Will Cost £1.50 per week, this will give you an orange highlighted ad which will help your advert stand out from the rest.

Bold Ads - For a small fee of 50p, you are able to make your ad text bold. Again this should help your advert stand out (subtle approach).

FREE LISTINGS - free listings still remain! You will still be able to place an advert on the site for free.

We will also be introducing a new browse feature on the latest ads page. This is designed to help the users delve deeper into the site and find exactly what they are looking for.

On the latest ads page and on the search results, every ad listings will have a link to the category in which the advert is placed. This will allow the user to see similar ads and will hopefully (fingers crossed) stop people relisting there ads everyday to get extra exposure. This Browse feature combined with the Enhanced Ads (described above) will help get advertisers the extra exposure that they are seeking. An example of the browse feature is shown below;

I personally find it very distracting as a buyer and seller on wightbay the first thing I want to see is the item title not CAT in RED. Perhaps we could have a button to switch it on or off, or if we do have to have it, it could be placed elsewhere like under the date add placed. It is similar to the code before the add in the weekly ad which is also distracting but at least that is feint in comparison to the Item title in bold. PLEASE PLEASE remove it or change it.

Category is irrelevant. I only want to see the item....as above

I agree, I don't want to see the category either, it makes it take longer to browse - should at least put the category underneath if it has to be on there, and put the title at the top.
