Feature adverts are built into our database, when you purchase feature adverts you are buying what we call displays they are sold to you by the 1000. Please note there are no time or date restrictions, these are used up when a customer is searching for a particular item, via area or category.
If your business falls within this area or category, your displays which you have purchased will start to be used up in the form of views and clicks. Each time your feature advert appears via a customer search you will have used up 1 view. A customer can then click through to your Superior advert (this click does not constitute another view from your remaining total.
Yes, just log into your control panel you will see how many people have viewed or clicked on your business, you will also see the remaining displays which you have left.
Just log into your control panel, where you can purchase additional displays anytime you require them. Don't worry too much about running out you will automatically receive an email when you get down to your last 100 displays.

For a feature advert we are currently charging £10.00 (inc VAT) per 1000 displays.
From time to time, you might recommend a friend to our website, if this person takes out a superior advert, we feel you should be rewarded in some way.
