Name of your website?

Free UK Classifieds

Your name?

Simon Ward

Your Location (city, etc)

Costa Caleta

Please give us a short summary of your website?

A free classifieds ads website for private and business advertising.

What inspired you to launch your own website?

To create a busy free trading community in a safe environment.

When did you launch your first website, and what was it?

2005

How did you decide on a name for your website?

Popular search terms for advertising. I was lucky to get the domain name for $7!

What makes it different from other, similar offerings?

We include live chat, forums and many other services, constantly working on new things to add.

What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)

Keep it for income

How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?

Cheap to set up so not losing out, the site pays its own hosting fees.

If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?

Id add an auction script similar to ebid with the 60 minutes auctions

If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?

I would try my hardest.

What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?

Hackers, adult links posted in the forum.

What has been your biggest challenge?

Getting a higher page ranking

What method has been most successful for promoting your website?

Free relevant links and the free hits counter top 10 at www.freehitscounter.net, most referrals seem to come from there!

How has running your website differed from your expectations?

A lot slower to build up traffic than I thought and the page ranking is somewhat dissapointing

How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?

Ran the site for over 2 years and will keep it going for as long as it takes.

Will you sell the site?

Only if I cant succeed with it within the next 2 years.

What is your website address?
