We have considered the success of online classifieds, and are working to combine it with our
portals and network of local portal directors to invent a new system for a classified advertising
network.
Let us start with the front page of our portals. This is what hundreds to thousands of people in your home town will
set as their home page.
You have read about our methods and plan to get people in your town to make
the portal as their homepage. This means that everytime they open the internet
the first thing they see is your portal for your town.
Success Invention #1
Everyone using the portal as their home page, or anyone who visits the main page
of the portal, will see the 10 most recent classifieds, coupons, or calender events
posted on the front page. This includes free, paid, or P.B.C. listings. (I will
explain what P.B.C. is later).
This creates 3 important features:
This keeps the classifieds in front of our regular visitors so they will use
them more often.
It encourages members to post advertisements because they know that the value of
getting their advertisement on the front page is very high.
It creates unique changing content for the front page of the portal.
All the ads are clickable links, as are the lady holding the newspaper, to the
classified section of the portal.

Sales is a numbers game! Pick Your Numbers!
Please note that some of our portal directors with experience in sales get 25% of
the business owners they give a presentation to purchase a premium listing. If you
are new to sales the industry standard is normally 10%. This in no way guarantees
you will have these percentages, but some of our directors report 25% closing ratio
once a business owner has been given a full presentation.
