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 thought this was worth sharing... Make sure you click on the faces!

After deliberating over this for a while and having feed back from a couple of users I have decided to change the name of the Property Category on Wightbay from 'Houses/Flats/Rooms' to 'Property-Houses/Flats/Rooms'.

If you’re stuck for what to buy someone for Christmas...Why not buy them a chance to win a beautiful house on the Isle of Wight!

I think this is a very fun and exciting revolutionary way of selling your house. Imagine owning a house that you got for just £25.

I have discovered how to change the logo by editing the site html templates...who needs developers??

I am going to be having lots of fun changing the logo designs each Week, Day & Month. So keep your eyes peeled.

Wightbay is leading the way for Isle of Wight websites!

Hitwise is a program which allows the users to observe website traffic. This allows us to compare our traffic (visitors) to other Island based websites. See the graph below I am flabbergasted at how much more traffic we are getting than well established sites like 'Isle of Wight County Press' (iwcp.co.uk).
