Web Page

A Web page is a very powerful way to market and sell your vehicle. If you select this option, you first receive an ad similar to a text ad placed in the category listing that best suits your vehicle. The difference is that this ad will be marked with a icon to indicate that you have a Web page.

Here is an example.


1957 Buick Roadmaster 75 4D HT A rare find, only 33k miles. Great black paint & chrome with original blue interior. All available power options. Everything works! Must see. Asking $14,500. CONTACT: Joe, NC, 555-555, joe@inter.net. #00K2803.

(00K2803 is your seven-digit Ad Reference Number.)

All an interested visitor has to do is click on the icons to visit the accompanying Web page. Try it.

Your Web page can have as much text description as you wish (within reasonable limits, of course); we recommend no more than about 300 words. Also, you may submit up to six (6) images of your vehicle. (Additional images may be included at $3/image.) (Images should be submitted at the time of placing the ad. Images send later may be subject to a $3/image processing fee.)

If you haven't already done so, click on the icon before the sample ad above to view an example of a Web page in our standard format.

While HTML codes are not permitted in the regular text and photo ads, you can insert them in the text of your Web page to format your text. Or, if you do not know how to do this, we will do it for you at no additional charge.

Once you have your Web page on #1 Motor Mart, you will receive the URL which will be something like

http://1motormart.com/webpages/nnnnnnn.htm

where "nnnnnnn" is your seven-digit Ad Reference Number. You can refer to this address in ads you may place on other sites, eliminating the need for other photo ads.

Featured Car

If you would like a little more exposure, you may wish to have your car featured in a more prominent position on the #1 Motor Mart Web site. There are four options for doing this from which to select.

  1. Car of the Month
  2. Featured Car - Home Page
  3. Featured Car - Any Other Page
  4. Featured Car - Exclusive Listing

Here is a brief description of each option.

  1. Car of the Month

    This will feature a roughly half page wide photo of your car at the very top of the #1 Motor Mart home page with the caption "Car of the Month" and brief description (such as 1937 Oldsmobile Convertible) beneath. (See the #1 Motor Mart home page for an example.) The image and caption will be linked to your ad or Web page. There will never be more than one "Car of the Month" at any one time. The cost is $25 per month, and you select the number of months you would like to be featured.

  2. Featured Car - Home Page

    This option will place a small photo of your car along with a very brief description (such as 1957 Buick Roadmaster) on the #1 Motor Mart homepage. (Click here to view the currently featured cars.) Your featured listing will be linked to your ad or Web page. There may be up to six different vehicles featured in this manner. The cost is $15 per month for the number of months you select.

  3. Featured Car - Any Other Page

    This will feature a small photo of your car along with a brief description (such as 1957 Buick Roadmaster) near the top of any page of the #1 Motor Mart Web site you may select with the following exceptions:

    1. the home page (see Option #2),
    2. any page already having 3 featured vehicles,
    3. any private Web page,
    4. any vendor's inventory page, or
    5. any page reserved for an Exclusive Listing (Option #4).

    Your featured listing will be linked to your ad or Web page and be displayed similar to the featured cars on the home page. (Click here to view.) Up to three vehicles may be featured in this manner on any one page. The cost for this option is $5 per month for as long as your wish to be featured.

  4. Featured Car - Exclusive Listing

    This is similar to Option #3 above (Featured Car - Any Other Page) with two very important exceptions:

    1. yours will be the only vehicle featured on the page you choose, and
    2. in addition to a small photo, you may have the same descriptive material as provided by a standard text ad as described above, namely,

      • Year, make, model, and body style (in larger print),
      • 25 words of descriptive text, and
      • Contact information - name, state, phone, e-mail.

    Your display is linked to your ad or Web page. This is quite a lot, and you may purchase the "Exclusive Featured Car Rights" to any page for $15 per month with the applicable exceptions noted in #3 above.

    Here is am example of a typical Exclusive Listing display ad.

    Featured Car

    1957 Buick Roadmaster 75 4D HT A rare find, only 33k miles. Great black paint & chrome with original blue interior. All available power options. Everything works! Must see. Asking $14,500. CONTACT: Joe, NC, 555-555-5555, joe@inter.net. #00K2803.

    The icon can appear only in Option #4, the Exclusive Listing.

Note that Options #1 & #4 permit only one vehicle in a given position at any one time. Also, with Options #2 & #3, limits may be set to the number of cars that can be featured on a page simultaneously (because of crowding or page size). Requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

In order to select a featured car option, you will normally need to have an ad (usually a photo ad or Web page) on #1 Motor Mart to which to link your featured listing. One exception to this is if you already have a Web site describing your car, you may link your featured car to this site.
