Banner sale


Never pay to much for banners.. only pay the real value!
The value of a banner is what the market wants to pay for it. So we sell our banners to the highest bidder.

I have a lot (>100) of ads to put in… Is there an import function?


In case you sell books, parts or modelcars, you probably have more then 1000 ads you want to put in.
If you have done this already in your own website, ask your webmaster to export the data into a database (access, excel, etc..). We are currently working on an import function.
For the moment, if you can provide us with your database, we’ll import it for you.
Please contact us.

I have a lot of articles for sale and I have my own web shop & e-commerce.


In case you have your own web shop & e-commerce... we can still help you.

For example... You're specialised in parts for Ferrari engines.
With ONE ad in "Parts for sale", you will be found by any potential customer.
Go to "Place an ad", then "Parts for sale".
Select that you sell parts for more then one car. Then select "Ferrari" in list.
Under "Mechanical", click the boxes "Engine complete" and "Engine parts". You can also add a title, description and pictures. Now everybody who searches a part of a Ferrari engine will see your advertisement.

Please note that exact matches score higher. So it's worth placing as much individual or precise ads as pratically possible.


The same applies for model cars, bookshops and everybody who sells a service like companies for restoring cars, maintenance products, transport, insurance, etc....

I want to enter a video in my ad.


Like downloading a picture-file, you can also download a video-file from your camera to your computer.
Unfortunately, a video is not as easy to manipulate as a picture.
When the video-file is on your computer, you have to upload it to a video-site like www.youtube.com, www.dailymotion.com or www.vimeo.com.
You can now watch your video on the video-site.
When your video is on screen, copy the url in the bar of your browser.
When placing or updating your ad, you put this url in the field "Enter Video URL" and save.
Great... now all the visitors of your ad can also see the video you made.
