SellandRentbyOwner.com, more free classifieds
SellandRentbyOwner.com has launched into the already competitive market of free classified sites. The focus of the site is on Real Estate, Automotive, Recreational Vehicles and Boats. The site is well designed and fairly easy to place listings. One area we didn’t like was forcing the user to create an account to start this process. We thought it would have been better to have the user start creating their listing and then prompt for a username/password near the end of the process.
The most innovate aspect of the SellandRentbyOwner.com site is the sponsorship arrangement. Listings are currently free because of sponsorship by Barkley Chiropractic. We thought this was innovate approach to generating revenue from a free classified service while creating a benefit for commercial advertisers and keep the classified listings free. We did not see any search engine optimization or online media strategy that would set this apart of the many others in the space.
