To make your Classipress site more interesting to visitors is to make it look active taming with activities. One way to show it is to display members or users who are online. When a first time visitor sees that your site has a lot of activities he or she may be inclined to check and register to your site.
Members/users who are online info can be displayed using the plugin, WP UserOnline by Lester Chan. The plugin will also provide you with detailed statistics of where they are and who there are including Guests and Search Bots. As a wordpress plugin, it is easy to install. You can then display users online information by simply using a widget.
Classipress Version 3.0 offers a lot of new exciting features including unlimited custom fields & forms, ad packages, blog option, directory-style home page, email alerts, featured ads carousel, transaction logging, and much more!
If you’ve bought the previous version of Classipress then you are entitled for free upgrades. Just follow the original e-junkie link that was provided when you have purchased Classipress. If you have not yet tried Classipress just click on the Buy Classipress button on the side bar.
Have a nice day.
With Classipress classifieds site, you have the option to automatically delete an ad after a specified period but it will not be good in the eyes of the search engine and SEO as a whole. This is so because, your deleted ad would still come out in search engine result and once clicked the searcher will then be directed to the 404 error page. Also, if you opt to have the ads deleted, your content will also be diminished and again not good for SEO.
For this reason and since my classifieds site is a free service, I choose not to delete the ads. I just inform my classifieds site visitor that the particular ad is already old. And for this, I use a plugin called the Old Post Alert Plugin.

And so I want to have this kind of interactivity on my Classipress classifieds site. Isn’t it good for you and your user to be able to update their ads/postings with images by simply embedding it on the comment thread?
