For me as an admin, it means the ability to control the ad placement and checkout process page by page. For my free ads, I can remove the pages for the listing package and verification of personal information, since those would only be germane for paid listings.

There are other aspects of the stepped user checkout, but that is my own particular interest in it.

1) Ad notificationfor sure this is an excellent feature wish it was there.
2) Shopping Cart
3) How did you hear about us poll ? no good advertising if you can't verify if its working or not, could even just be a drop down / text box in the registration form
4) Bulk picture \ product upload

Cheers,
Mully

I'd like to see users be able to send money to their account and have future ads just deduct $ from that amount. I think it would be a much easier system to deal with than the current pay-per-ad system.

I like to have a feature where listings on my site will be auto-published on oodle, google base, yello and other sites.

I like to have a watermark feature for my advertiser images.
I also like to have a google maps, yahoo locals.

Most importantly, I like to have an "auto notify" if an ad or item is published
that matches the user's search parameters. (price range, location, size, etc...)

If these features are now available, please advise.

Thanks,

As far as I know nothing what you asked are available now.
If you want to use Yahoo maps instead of Google, you may find it here.

As for "auto notify", it was out one time, but I guess still have some problems, so it is not available at this moment. There are many people asking for it, so I hope it will be out with the next release, but maybe I am not right.

This may be of use to you. I use this on one of my sites. It`s a mortgage calc.

Only simple things for me, but then I am simple anyway (before anyone says it!!)
Add to favorites button - as most people are lazy and its easier to click one button when you are reminded than to think about it!!

SEO to pick up top 2 levels of categories and change to text - below that is likely to be minor anyway

Quick Search box on the home page, with an advanced search that links to the proper search page

Multiple category postings - already on the agenda, but just to register my vote for it as well

i'm happy to be a test pilot if you need one for any of the above.

A better way of arranging categorys for the dropdown. It isn't practical with loads of categories several levels deep.

Maybe a couple of select boxes with AJAX or something.

Default More than one category per listing.
The site I'm working on will be used to allow licensed contractors to advertise their services... The listing needs to be per contracting company, and since most contractors do more than one thing... and it would be great if they could chose multiple categories to list in at one time.

Maybe a checkbox next to the service categories that they are licensed to provide....

plumber
kitchen remodel
new house construction
window installation


etc. etc.

Maybe this is already available? If so, where can I find it, if not- who's up for a challenge?

Thanks.
