Classified Ads Improvements was created by mattr
The classified ads section has some important improvements:
- Search Engine Friendly URLs
What does this mean? It means that your ad is more likely to be picked up by in a higher page rank in search engines. This mean more customers coming to see your ad.
- Downloading Your Ads
Why would I want to do this? If you use the MagicGizmo to post all your items for sale, you may wish to also post them on other forums and sites, but this can be a hassle of maintaining information in more than one place. So here's how you do it: post all your ads to MagicGizmo. If something sells, delete the ad. You can change the price in MagicGizmo also. You can always then download a current list of your items for sale which can be posted to other forums etc. which allow for these types of postings.
- How do I download my current ads to Excel? When you are logged-in, you will see and link in the left hand side when viewing the Classified Ads->Seller Tools section.

We also added:
- Mass Price Updates
This allows you to reduce the pricing of all your ads with just one click. This way you can set your prices for a good price and if they don't sell you can reduce them easily. You just log-in and go to Classified Ads -> Seller Tools. You enter the percent you'd like to reduce all your ads and click the Update button. You can even specify a minimum value or not to adjust particular ads at all when you set them up.

Hey I had just noticed that the search engine friendly URLs were not working. I had made some changes to the classified a while back and I didn\'t notice these were not working.
Good News. They work now.
So instead of this:
You get:
This way if people are searching for these terms, the search engine will rank higher than the previous URL. This is good news if people are looking for what you are selling.
