Great News!! All testing is complete we are moving Wightbay to a bigger and better server. This will improve the speed of the site and stop the down time. This is due to be switched first thing Friday morning.
We had to do this due to the increased traffic levels we are now getting. Wightbay is more popular than ever with over 70,000 visits each week.

It’s been a really hectic start to the new year as usual, not even had a minute to update the blog!
Great news for the start of 2009... Wightbay is getting more and more popular and last week saw us break new records for the number of visitors (nearly 62,000 visitors in just one week!).
Most the island must be surfing the site every week.
I have made some changes today to help us make some money to keep this great community site running smoothly. We’ve introduced a very small fee of just £3 for all motors listings. The extra revenue we hope to generate will help us cover the increasing costs that come with being such a popular free site (web servers, technical development, moderation etc etc!). Everything else is still free, so if you need a bit of extra cash to start the new year, start placing your ads now!

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;

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.
