The internet is a melting pot of diverse advertisements, paid or free. If you’re one of those posting stuff for sale or you’re looking for something to buy, why not join one that has a contest for you?
www.AyosDito.ph is giving away electronic gadgets like HP Mini-note, Sony Digicam, and iPod Touch for the weekly draws and for the grand draw you can have the chance to win the trip to Singapore or Hongkong or iPhone… just for posting your free buy & sale ad.
Don’t just slap any ad. You can’t post the same ad and put it in several categories. You have to select the best cagegory you want your item be posted under. Several categories are available. Say if you have a clothing item and it’s for children, you have to choose whether you will put it under clothing or under children.
The site is arranged in a way you can do a search for an item, specify a category (or display all categories), and specify a region if you’d like to find or be found by buyers/sellers nearby or specific region (or, any region if you wish). There is also an option to display the cheapest available first and you can hide or show the available images for easy browsing. You also see when it’s posted and whether it’s from a company or a person.
There’s just a couple of things, though, that I wish could be included. The capacity to be an online store would really be good. Like, if I found something and I really wanted it, I can pay for it and it will display that it’s sold…that way I can be pretty sure I really got the item. The other thing is, I saw an ad that says it’s up for bid but I see no bidding buttons. I don’t think the company meant the site for bidding but the advertiser did…how is he/she going to go about it? I think the bidding will be nice too. 
Give it a try. You can’t win the lotto if you don’t have a ticket, so to speak. Without the contest, I think AyosDito will make a name of its own. It would be nice, though, to take a chance on the contest too. Check it out right away.
