How To Select The Best Classified Script For Your Website
There are lots of classified scripts available in the market for FREE and for a small price, its pretty much to select the best one out of it. First of all make clear what your requirement is, and then hunt for a script that suits your requirement. Make sure you do not change your requirement based on the script you have or get in the internet. Do not be convinced with what's available until you are really okay with it. Since you are going to install a classified script in your website that's going to serve for a community, make sure you know what the members in the community are searching for. Make sure you not create redundant websites that aim to spam or do not end up being a copycat. You could do this by conducting a search both online and offline. Online through search engines and offline through all media other than the internet. Online research: See what is new in the internet, what are the new ways classified websites are being implemented around the world. do some research on the scripts available, both free and paid ones. I would suggest you also make some search in forums like Digital Point and Warrior forum. Offline research: Consider if you're planning to create the classified website to your local area where you live, know what your neighbors need and what they look for. Know their pain points and bring in a solution for that in your classified website. This research can be done through word of mouth, a chat, and a small analysis how effective the new classified site can be. This would give your classified website a personal touch and also adds it a local flavor. Selecting the script: Copyright adherence is one of the important and main things that you need to consider before zeroing in your script, for your website. You may also, if interested, consider other factors like cost, licensing and add-on features the script has. Get in touch with the support team of the script seller and know if there are support facilities like forum/help desk are available to help you in case you run into issues later when you use the script in your website. This is one of the important thing in your selection. Copying the ideas: You can always copy a hit idea and can implement it for your community, provided there's no such solution in place. This is a good idea because you primarily target your local community or a particular community that has not seen that solution. Also, you do not worry about search engine ranking etc stuff, because your primary source of traffic is going to be from your community. You may inform them about the new classified site through many ways that are mostly offline in nature like word of mouth, paper ads, and television ads. No one is going to ban your website for copying ideas from other websites. please be careful you are only going to copy ideas and not any other copyrighted stuff that's available. For an example, if Craigslist type of classified is not there in your community you can very well implement it, with your own resources, your own copyrighted materials that includes the source code. Tips: Do not advertise or start driving traffic to your classified site until you are done with your functionality fully. Because user may login live ads and after which its difficult for you to implement even a small change, until and otherwise you are very good at coding. Start driving traffic when you successfully did some testing by posting some sample ads.
