One click to post and one click to search!

We have updated all our pages over the weekend to make it easy for you to find and share information quickly. No login, username or password is required. Just one click is all it takes to post your listing and search for anything using keyword search, we guarantee you its fast, easy and simple!

We have now introduced the capability for you to provide feedback on individual listings, notify your friend about a specific listing, be able to contact our advertisers easily, along with an updated notification format when your receive replies to your listings.

We have updated all the content pages to reflect "city based" listings on the left and right side of the pages instead of the category based listings that we had earlier. For example you can easily click on one of the city based listings for e.g. Delhi classifieds to get all listings for Delhi. If you are looking for specific listings such as "rental" for Delhi - select "Delhi" from the pull down menu and search for rentals from any of the pages.

We hope you find this useful.

Year in review - 2006

2006 was a good year for us with more users using our classifieds listing service than any of the previous years. We also went live with 6 new international sites, Australia, China, New Zealand, South Africa and UK, this year. More than 50% of the listings received were for Indian real estate property listings - which includes a combination of rental, paying guest accommodation listings, residential land, and commercial land listings. Listings from Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai topped again this year compared to other cities in India.

We also released lots of new features to enhance the user experience while keeping our site open viz. without requiring logins or registrations to post, view listings at our site.

We now offer 24 hour guaranteed sticky listing in our homepage for all premium ads for maximum visibility. Some of the key features introduced this year includes the ability to manage (edit/delete) your listing without registration, ability to post mobile classifieds from wap capable mobile phones to get your listing published, hourly delivery of our site content through RSS feeds across all categories and cities, and some key backend system management capabilities to weed out spam.

Approximately 25% of the listings that we receive are spam but the good news is it does not make it through our spam management system - though it consumes lots of our time trying to figure out ways to weed them out.

We are continually working to expand our service offerings with new features for you to list and connect with other users quickly and easily. Watch out for more new features coming out in the first quarter of 2007 and as always please keep those new feature requests coming. We look at each and everyone one of them very closely and include them in future releases should we determine that it will be of use to a larger audience. We hope you find our service useful and we wish you happy holidays and the very best for 2007.

New feature - Listing rating system

We are in the final stages of testing a "listing rating system". For every listing that is posted at indianClassifieds.com, users can rate and review each of the listings. This feature can be used both for new listings as well as previously posted listings. This will enable us to not only identify good/bad listings but will also enable us to dynamically assign appropriate ranking and exposure to each of those listings.

We are expecting this new rating system to be fully tested and should be online in the next few weeks. Happy holidays!

We have published the stats for November and you can see them all here.

Why are my listings not showing up - Part III

When a new listing is posted we send a confirmation email with instructions to activate your listing. The faster you activate the listing the more likely it is to appear on our homepage. This is applicable to all listings irrespective of free or paid listings. In case of paid premium listings we guarantee that your listing will be on the homepage for atleast 24 hours. As always please keep your questions coming.

Premium classifieds - new rates for 2007

We will be rolling-out a simplified program with additional features for the premium classified listings beginning of 2007. Currently, we offer six premium classifieds options for you to choose from to get more exposure for your classifieds listing. We also offer a guaranteed 24 hour priority homepage placement for any premium classifieds listings.

The cost for a premium listing today starts from $1.00 to $6.00 for 30 days depending upon the premium options you choose for your listings. Our STATS consistently show that Premium Classifieds receive more clicks than free classisfieds. Stay tuned.. and we hope you will find our new program very useful.

The basic listing service for our classifieds will always be free.

Alternate search interface

We have had some requests recently to provide an alternate interface to do quick searches at our site, to search our classifieds quickly. We thought about it and well here it is, the search function is based on *keywords* and it is super fast. This keyword search page is integrated into our mainsite along with other classified listings.

You should be able to find any information from our site pretty quick, all it takes is 1 click. Select the city from the pull down menu and enter a keyword, for e.g. rentals, real estate, click on go and you will be presented with the 10 most recent listings at our site for that specific search and obviously you can scroll through other pages..
