Why Is There A Charge For Classified Ads?

Is It Worth Your Money To Advertise On The Dodge Dart Page?

• The Dodge Dart Page is the major source of Dodge-Dart-specific information on the Internet. Visitors have a strong interest in these cars.
• The Dodge Dart Classified reaches a worldwide audience that is often willing to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to find the car they desire.
• Compare this classified to that of your local newspaper. Of its circulation, how many subscribers do you think read the car classified? How many are looking specifically for Dodge Darts? And how much would your newspaper charge you to advertise every day for two or more months -- the duration of your advertisement in the Dodge Dart Classified?

I hope you conclude, as I do, that it is well worth your money to post an ad on the Dodge Dart Classified.

Why Did I Start Charging To Post Classified Ads?

• The number of ad submissions was becoming overwhelming -- some weeks, I was posting fifteen or twenty ads. I hoped that assessing a nominal fee would discourage those who were just "trying things out" and not really serious about buying or selling a car.
• My time has value, and I don't think it's unreasonable to charge for the time I spend maintaining the classified. This is in addition to donating thousands of hours since 1995 to make the Dodge Dart Page into what you see today.
• Ever since I registered "dodgedart.org" and switched to a commercial hosting provider, the Dodge Dart Page has been costing me money every month. Given the time I spend, I'd like to at least come out even financially.
