Since the recession started many of us have found that our local papers have disappeared or shrunk so have turned to the Internet to find local services from babysitters to car washing but the problem with this is that many of the search engine results only list the well optimised web sites that generally pay for high listings. Therefore we thought it would be worthwhile for our visitors to put together a quick website review of Gumtree.com, the online classified ads website, which although is not a new website definitely is very useful.
About The Website
Gumtree really is like the classified ads section of any newspaper but it is online. When you visit the website it automatically detects where in the country you are (or if you want to you can select the area) and lists the sections such as cars, for rent or for sale etc. The one big plus for Gumtree is that ad listings are free to post so you don’t have to spend a fortune if you want to advertise something. This is great for businesses and individuals alike.
What We Think
Here at What’s Good On The Web we’ve used Gumtree a couple of times and we think the site really is very useful particularly the fact that everything is local.
We’d recommend any of our website visitors to take a look at Gumtree.com for local classified adverts.
Nearly every day you pick up a newspaper and there is a story about online identity theft or hacking and for many computer users they still have not secured their computer and personal data against security threats so when we were told about free antivirus software from Bullguard.com we thought we should put together a quick review of their website and software for our readers.
