Hello all. I'm new here and I have a classified ads website. Could you please review my site youadlist .com and tell what's good or not. Any comments or review about the layouts, navigation and functionalities are highly appreciated. Thank you all.

why dont you try to make smaller fonts of your links and ok you have lots of categories but hide some it is scary to see all at once

I agree with mpouf

Look at Craiglist for inspiration. They're UI is simple and easy to use.

**jonathanfigaro** · 06-08-2009 03:46 PM

I suggest increasing the font size, Make your site more easy on the eyes!

Hello again. Thank you for your comments. Here's my replies...

"you have lots of categories but hide some it is scary to see all at once"
- Yeah we're thinking the same thing. We would be doing this some time soon.

"Look at Craiglist for inspiration. They're UI is simple and easy to use."
- I thought craigslist has a dull and boring UI. If you look at their homepage, they have more links/categories than us which I think makes their UI more cluttered and un-appealing right?

"I suggest increasing the font size, Make your site more easy on the eyes!"
- mpouf suggested smaller links, yours larger... Maybe will stick with the current as of now. Thank you though for your comment jonathanfigaro.

hide some of them might be a good idea & add it with few pictures to make it interesting.

or make use of the space to put a recent added list, featured or popular list..

For the font, it looks fine to me.

Your site says that you have 634,590 ads but somehow I didn't find anything. Maybe wrong country/category combination. Also I would have expected to go back homepage by clicking to your logo and somehow to navigate between the categories. Also somewhere should be information how many ads there are in particular category (country) to avoid me clicking and getting empty results.
Feel free to ad it to my Undiscovered Websites Directory.

"hide some of them might be a good idea"
Yeah we've receive numerous comments about this and we're definitely doing this.

"add it with few pictures to make it interesting. or make use of the space to put a recent added list, featured or popular list"
We really like the site to be as simple as possible so we didn't opt for pictures and recent added, featured or popular list. We feel that users don't need this and would only clutter the site.

"For the font, it looks fine to me."
Thank you for your comments on the font. We're gonna stick with it for now.

"Your site says that you have 634,590 ads but somehow I didn't find anything"
You're right, most of ads are from US and South East Asia countries.

"Also I would have expected to go back homepage by clicking to your logo and somehow to navigate between the categories"
Thank you for pointing this out. We're gonna do this.

"Also somewhere should be information how many ads there are in particular category (country) to avoid me clicking and getting empty results."
In some countries where there are many ads, we show their numbers. We don't show numbers if there are only few ads because it might discourage users to post or search on it.

"Feel free to ad it to my Undiscovered Websites Directory."
Yeah I would definitely add my site. Thanks

Let us know when the changes have been made- we can look for more refinements!

**arthur.online** · 06-11-2009 02:46 AM

hm. I like the site. I think much better than craigslist

**TrafficVault** · 06-11-2009 10:16 AM

Any updates yet?

**activitybrain** · 06-16-2009 02:57 PM

When items are posted, I think it would be easier to skim in each one didn't have a paragraph under them. Once a user is interested in the item, they can click on it to find out more.

I'm just glad to add my incite. But in the it's end up to you.

Overall clean classifieds site however I would work on the logo, it looks really dated.

**MassageByLuis** · 12-01-2010 03:41 PM

I have attempted to post several adds on your site and seem to get logged out at a most innopportune moment but the add still gets posted... Not under my account... I would like to delete these incomplete adds to finish them but cannot find a place to remove them... How do I remove these adds that are seemingly not attached to anything.... Most importantrly me...

Thanks!
