I would like feedback from you folks, please.

Please contact me offlist at vijawan@gmail.com

I am a sales rep for a new online classified ad website.
It is based on the model of craigslist but without the spam
or flagging.

I am very excited about being a part of the next big thing.

It is called www.codyslist.com . Please check it out and tell me how you
like it or if you see things that need to be improved.

If you have a lot of experience with online success, I value your
opinions. How can we get more pageviews? How can we go viral with
our limited budget?

I will be working with the webmaster to make changes
that make codyslist THE place for classified ads.

Please check it out.

Sincerely,

David Riffey

Hi David, there are very few active categories.

Alex I think that is because he is active yet in development at this stage.

Active categories have listings.


I suggest making it have the same concept as your competition but giving it a better visual benefit to the reader and advertiser. If there is one thing I cannot stand about Craig's list it is the 1980's html coding and design. It can still be simple and plain just have some colors/buttons etc.

Virginia is not active. Let me know when you get it going and I will check it out. Thanks!

There is an error that may give you insight.

Also, I would make the navigation bar within the state at the bottom alphabetical, not numerical - I don't know which page my target city may end up on, but if I had the alphabet I can navigate there faster.

Good Luck
