Tips For Posting Adverts

* Be friendly: Give your ads some personality! Our users like to feel that they are more than just a number. So when you construct an ad, give it some “human” features so it does not just seem like an automatically generated posting.
* Be descriptive: You can use as much text as you like in your adverts – there is no limit. We encourage you to be as descriptive as you need to be. Think of all the typical questions someone might ask and put them in your ad.
* Be graphic: You can include up to three images with your ad. We have found that this makes your ad more appealing, and sets it aside from other ads.

Place your advert in Featured listing

Featured Ads are ads that appear in a special ‘Featured Listing’ or ‘Gallery Spotlight Listing’ Adverts section at the side or top of the listings pages. The benefit of featuring your ad is that more people read and reply to these ads because of their prominent position on our adverts pages for a few days.

Gallery Spotlight listed Adverts are ads that appear in a section at the top of the homepage for 30 days. The benefit of a Gallery Spotlight Advert is that your ad is likely to be seen by thousands of visitors to Christianadverts.

While posting adverts on Christian Adverts is free, featuring your ad in the ‘Featured Listing’ or ‘Gallery Spotlight Listing’ Adverts section involves the payment of a small fee.
