New to classifieds: Your ad's own easy to share address
5/6/2009 at 7:47 PM
Just a note that this evening I'm experimenting with a new feature in the classifieds that makes it easier than ever to share/promote your ad.
Starting tonight, each confirmed ad in the system has the ability to create it's own address to the tune of:
http://www.ebrandon.ca/CUSTOMNAME.ad
When someone types your custom address in, it will take them straight to your ad rather than having to use the lengthy and hard to remember address that they'd normally have to type.
By default, your custom name is your ad ID... so if your ID is 101010, your custom address would be:
http://www.ebrandon.ca/101010.ad
To change it to something that you'd like to use, all you have to do is login to edit your ad. On the page that comes up I've added one more field to make this work.
The only catch is that there is of course only one of each name available at any given point in time.
enjoy!
