Hi,Can anyone advise what they think is the bes free/cheap classified ads script?I have been looking around a while for a cheap classified ads script, and as yet i have been unable to make a decision.I am looking for something fairly simple but something that looks good, something where i can still place adsense ads to generate some income, Also something where i can charge for ads should i wish.This can be cloned or Open source or cheap. Maybe you have something you currently don't use? Maybe you have something you have written and use in the USA or Asia or Europe that could be addopted for the UK market, if you did mabe you could have all advertising income for a set period or lease to me?? Any suggestions at all would be greatly apreciatedI don't have alot of cash for a script, i want this to be fun and i do beleive with the current climate it the UK classified ads are going to be huge over the next few years and there is room for another classifed site in the UK
Hi Swagblagy, Why not go for Wordpress? Wordpress is easy to use, SEO friendly and very stable (used on millions of sites) and constantly under development. For Wordpress there are 2 great plugins for the thing you want: 1. Classipress http://www.appthemes.com/themes/classipress/ 2. Sitemile http://sitemile.com/products/wordpress-classified-ads-theme/ Hope this helps. Good luck.
Thanks IlookFunily enough I have classipres running on my site the moment but the guy i was using has done a runner and it doesn't seem to be working for me at all.i-e when you try and post an add you get an error 404 page not found? im not sure if this is wordpress or hosting issue as im hosted with hostgator? So in essence i am paying for hosting with a site that doesnt work and looks ugly?
Hi, AJ Classifieds is the best affordable classifieds script software to make your classifieds site. It is the feature rich classifieds software solutions that helps you to generate more revenue from your website.
Not sure if you use a legit or a warez version? Yes Hostgator sucks and you should stay away from it. Hostgator are sneaky scammers. More info here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1844891 And there are more people complaining about Hostgator, they oversell their capacity that becomes TERRIBLY slow. Often i get 404 pages on my own Wordpress admin, or sometimes waiting over 100 seconds before i logged in. This is not normal of course, i use a 20MB connection and sites as DP or whatever which site loads within 1 or 2 seconds on my PC. Better move to another host for your classified site and if it gets serious with traffic upgrade to an affordable VPS or Dedicated. But yeah Hostgator is a true nightmare, i agree!
Well i though it was a legit version but obviously not so sure now since the guy who originaly isntalled it etc can't be contacted anymore?Disapointed also to har about hostgator as I realy thought they were meant to beone of the biggest and best?It realy now looks like i am now on the lookout for both a scrip and a host nighmare back to square 1Oh i forgot to say thanks very much for the info
Well, as said in one of my former posts i think you should go either for Classipress http://www.appthemes.com/themes/classipress/ or Sitemile http://sitemile.com/products/wordpress-classified-ads-theme/ But get rid of Hostgator as they are really squeezing the hell out of their clients...
