Sellers (and buyers too), did you notice anything different on bidorbuy.co.za these days?

Yes? Well done, you! Full marks to you for paying attention!

Here’s what those tastefully positioned ad banners are all about.

Basically, bidorbuy has opened its pages for those sellers who want to go beyond enhancements to advertise their merchandise on the site.

You all know that bidorbuy is a high traffic site. According to Alexa, it is currently the ninth most visited web site in South Africa, and that amid the competition of such international giants as Facebook or YouTube or Twitter. (Well done, us!)

You no doubt also know that advertising on such a popular site does not come cheap. However, we aim to give value. That is why bidorbuy is prepared to guarantee advertisers a minimum amount of page impressions for every campaign they undertake.

So, we hear you asking, what is bidorbuy charging for those highly eye-catching advertising spots?

Well, like in the property market, it’s all about location. There are ad spots available on the home page. There are ad spots available on the category pages, specialty pages (like Crazy Wednesday or What’s Hot), as well as search result pages. This overview will give you a better idea of where your ad can be placed.

And since not all locations are created equal… the pricing will depend on the spot you choose to rent and on the duration of the lease (one week, or two, three…).
