| Is this site really FREE? |
| |
Yes. We support its operation via context sensitive advertising. |
| |
|
| Why create a Free Classifieds? |
| |
In advertising our other sites, we sometimes used other online classifieds. Since we saw a return on our efforts to advertise on other people's sites, we thought having our own site to advertise on would pay off. |
| |
|
| How can we financially support this Free Ad Site? |
| |
Since we do not accept payment for our services, the only way is to support our advertisers. If you support our advertisers, they grow strong, and they pay more to advertise on this site. |
| |
|
| Are there other ways to support this Free Classified Site? |
| |
Yes, word-of-mouth advertising. We would appreciate if you would spread the word about our services, and help us become more 'useful' to everyone. As our user base increases, we can focus more time in improving this site. Thank you. |
| |
|
| Are the services, or items, being advertised on this site your's [The Site Owners]? |
| |
No. We only operated this site, that's it. Each site is entered and controlled by the ad's publisher(author). We do not sell items, or offer any other services from this site other than free advertising. So, we are not partnering with anyone, or buying and selling anything here. |

|
| How do I create a free ad? |
| |
First navigate to the section/category you would like your ad to appear. Once there, click on the Place Ad link. You will see a form, follow the directions. |
| |
|
| Do I need to register before placing a free ad? |
| |
No. Just provide a valid email address, so we can send you the unique URL to control the ad. |
| |
|
| Ok, I created a free ad, now what? |
| |
You will receive an email with a unique URL for your ad. You just have to click on that URL, and it will direct you to a page to control your ad. |
| |
|
| What is a draft ad, or activated ad? |
| |
A draft ad, is the stage a free ad is in after you have submitted it. An activated ad, is an ad that you have returned, via the free ad's unique URL, and activated. Draft ads are not viewable by this site's visitors, but Activated Ads are. |
| |
|
| |
|
| How do I modify an ad? |
| |
Using the ad's unique URL sent to you via email, you can access a web page giving the option to edit your Ad. Save those emails. |
| |
|
| The ad isn't Activated, can I edit it? |
| |
Yes. Just that your changes, just like the original ad, aren't visible to the site's visitors. |
| |
|
| After activating the ad, can I still modify it? |
| |
Yes. |
| |
|
| The Free Ad has been activated, will my modifications bee seen immediately? |
| |
Yes. Once you save the Ad, its information will become visible to any one who views a fresh version of the ad. |
| |
|
| |
|
| Will you [This Site's Owners] ever email me, asking for security information? |
| |
NO. We will never send an unsolicited email you asking for personal identity information. Not credit cards, not passwords, not SSN's. Do not reply to such requests from this site. In fact IMHO, do not supply such information via email to any site. Even if it's legit, emails get lost, and anyone can look at the information. |
| |
|
| Do you need my email address, if I need help? |
| |
First, since we usually only communicate via email, you are sending us your email address if you write us. Second, since each ad has an email address associated with it, to help us help you, yes, we need an email address to aid in any free ad problems you have. Also, if you are writing us for help, having your email address will help us get back in contact with you. ;) |
| |
|
| |
|
| I didn't receive the email with the unique url for my ad, what happened? |
| |
Since this site is a new site, our emails might not be recognized as legitimate emails. Check your Junk mail, or spam, folders. If you do find it there, please contact your system administrator and explain that NoCostAds.com™ is a valid and legitimate service, and please stop filtering our emails. |
| |
|
| I lost the email with the URL in it to my ad, what now? |
| |
Do you need it? I mean if the ad is ok, why change it. All ads auto expire after a designated time period (see Terms and Conditions for this period), so you do not need to delete the ad, for it to be removed from our site. If you need to change your ad, or really need to delete the free ad, please use the contact us page and send the email address associated with the ad, we'll try and help you asap. |
