Elevate Your Visibility with Premium Ads

Placing a classified ad on our platform is free, but opting for a premium ad can significantly increase visibility and exposure for your listing.  Premium ads receive priority placement on our website, mobile app, and daily email subscription.  Here's everything you need to know about premium ads:

What is a Premium Ad?
A premium ad offers enhanced visibility and priority placement for your classified ad.

Why Place a Premium Ad?
Opting for a premium ad ensures that your classified ad stands out and reaches a broader audience, maximizing exposure for your listing.

How Much is a Premium Ad?
The cost of a premium ad starts at a minimum payment of $10 for 10 days at $1 per day for correctly categorized ads.  However, for service-related ads placed in non-service categories (e.g., Jobs, Housing, Items for sale), the daily rate varies depending on the category.   The minimum rate for Housing and Items for Sale categories is $2.5 per day.  For the Jobs category, the minimum rate is $5 per day.. 

Where is My Ad Placed?
All premium as with regular ads are automatically placed in the corresponding category, city or region, province, and country where the ad is posted. This ensures maximum exposure to relevant audiences.

Important: Service Ads in Non-Service Categories
Service ads in non-service categories (e.g., Jobs, Housing, Items for Sale) must be placed as premium ads. The daily rate varies depending on the category.

How Premium Ads Work:
Premium ads are positioned at the top of the list, sorted by their daily rate. Paid advertisements take priority over free classified ads, ensuring maximum visibility.

This positioning is determined through a bidding process, where users bid higher amounts for better ranking. Ads with higher daily payments are ranked above those with lower payments, ensuring that users who pay more receive better visibility.

On the website, the premium ad with the highest daily rate showcases an enlarged image, giving it standout visual prominence.

Daily Email Subscription:

Premium ads appear at the top of the email subscription list each day they are emailed.

What do Premium Ads Look Like?
Premium ads appear with a "Sponsored" tag on the list page. The ad with the highest daily rate gets more space on the listing. It includes an increased image size and displays the first part of the ad description as well.  Otherwise they appear as a normal classified ad.

Placing a Premium Ad:
To place your ad on the premium list, go to the "My Ads" menu option at My Ads, select any ad, and then choose the "Premium" menu option. From there, select the desired amount and number of days for publication. This will give your ad top priority and exposure.

Additional Important Notes:

Premium ads cannot be removed by the flagging or spam detection systems. This ensures uninterrupted visibility and protection from false or inaccurate flagging.

Premium listing duration: After the premium period ends, the ad is simply removed from the premium list and remains published as a regular ad and continues to receive exposure.

Expiration and deletion policy:

  • Standard regular ads are automatically removed when they reach their expiration date, and may be fully deleted from the system after a period of inactivity.

  • Ads that were ever upgraded to premium are not automatically deleted after expiration and remain in our system until you delete them.  Even after their regular expiration, they remain stored in your account so you can republish, edit, or manage them at any time.
