About Us

We at BackPageAds (dot com) are committed to providing the highest quality product (our custom developed classified ad engine) and service (responsiveness and attentiveness to our customers needs and satisfaction), at the lowest possible price (we probably don't need to explain lowest price).

There is an old, pervasive, and somewhat distasteful, trend in advertising where publishers want the advertisers to make money... just not TOO MUCH money. Sure that sounds cynical, but how else would you explain charging more for the same ad space based on the price of the car being sold?

Even O' Hallowed Ebay, ye gods of e-commerce, wants to charge more for selling a limosine than for selling a bag of lemons.

Don't we all really just want to find what we're looking for... a buyer, a seller, a partner, a friend, a family, a community? And do it as efficiently as possible and at the least expense?

We at BackPageAds hold to a very simple philosophy: Simplicity + Fairness = Success. For everyone.

So we invented the truly flat rate classified ad. Sure we have to charge Grandma (looking for her lost puppy) the same 5 bucks we have to charge IBM (looking to sell off a spare division or two). But it turns out we're a lot happier charging everyone a price even Grandma finds agreeable. Including IBM. We don't like trying to justify charging $20,000 for the same thing we sold for 5 bucks to someone else. We'd rather make our money the old fashioned way... one buck at a time.

So here's how it works. $5 gets you in the game. That's it. Just a five spot. And that five spot buys you a lot too. First, it buys you 3 full months of listing, not just one month, or the mythical 21 day month seemingly known only to publishers. Second it buys your ad a place in very highly organized, targeted, effective medium. We spent months developing our unique classification system so that your ad is always available to the readers who are trying to find it. There are over 500,000 distinct combinations of category and location, so you can be sure your ad wont get lost in the clutter.

Sure you can spend more than $5 on one of our ads, but we have a simple rule: Paying more always gets you more.

Drop 10 bucks and you get to add color to your ad.

And for 25 your ad can stay sorted to the top.

And did you notice the bar of ads at the top and bottom? $75 gets your ad shown on those, an excellent value for businesses looking to gain targeted exposure.

By all indications, BackPageAds (dot com) is going to be a hot, dynamic marketplace for goods, services, personal ads, community notices, and a whole lot more. But as demand grows, advertising rates are going to have to rise too. But the good news is that you can act now to lock in our attractive low prices (be sure to check out our introductory promotional discounts) and secure your ad space for up to 3 years.

So act now, before its too late!
