I like the idea of classified ads and it sound like something I could implement but I dont really have a local following as most are international so maybe this stategy is not for me. Thanks for the post though and thinking outside the square.

Wow, great idea. I missed this post before. I wonder if there is something like this in the States.

that is sneaky! i would never have thought of that. pretty neat way to meet a need and make a quick buck. i would also be interested in seeing the logistics of it. thanks for sharing the idea.

Sounds like a good revenue generator but not sure about the ethics. If you publish the costs of premium call charges – how many people will follow up adverts?

I own http://www.shopandsave.com Canada’s 3rd Largest free classifieds website.

this idia is very good. It may keep away alot of scammers from posting.

Advertising revenues are a joke unless your website is top 10,000 in the world.

Im only 4,000 in Canada. but moving up fast.

I read that OFCOM or ICSTIS have banned the practice of revenue sharing on these numbers????

Anyone clarify?

I wonder if customers who call the adverts at birdtrader get pissed off. 50 pence is about a 1 US dollar. Dang.

I guess the enforcement and collection of phone fees are different in UK than the US.

Love the way Birdtrader spins the reasoning behind the use of protected numbers.

Combo this with a craigslist script and bang local classified market is yours for the taking.

- Minutes are charged to the person phoning about the advert. You can see it in action on Birdtrader dot co dot uk

I am not sure if we have any 070 numbers. I don’t think so.

I guess I am trying to get a clearer picture of how this works.

-Person lists an ad on your site.
-A unique 07060 number is generated for the ad and displayed
-Interested parties call the number.
-Minutes are charged back to the person who listed the ad.
-Site owner gets a cut of the $$$’s generated from the minutes charged to the ad lister.

Umm I will need to look into this. Why not just get one number and set-up a Asterix PBX. Then assign extensions to the ad listers. So I would call 18002223333 ext 12923 to speak to someone who posted an ad.

Anyone got a site to share?
