Business/Organization & Individual Postings

Many people have asked us to better differentiate between postings from individuals and postings from businesses or organizations.

We've been asking people to specify this during the publishing process for several months now, and today we've started displaying this information—in the form of small icons—on category listing pages and posting detail pages.

When you click on a category, you'll see either this: (for business/organization posts)
... or this: (for posts from individuals).

Of course, the accuracy of this system depends on the honest participation of everyone using the Franglo platform. If you see postings that are not properly identified, you can send a message to us at admin@franglo.com, but the problem is better dealt with at the source. So, please consider simply replying to the post and asking that user to repost under the appropriate category. It will make Franglo more useful for everyone!

Add tags to your postings

Now when you create a posting on Franglo, you can include tags.

What are tags and why would you want to use them?

That's simple. Tags are words or short phrases that describe your posting and can help your posting get found and properly indexed by search engines. By tagging your posts, you can make them easier to access. All you need to do is think of how people might search for your content, and then add one or more tags. You can add as many as you like, up to a maximum of 250 characters. Just enter your comma-separated tags on the form where you create or modify your posting.

New countries, some improvements & a call for your help...

We've been working hard to create an easy-to-use and effective classifieds service, tuned to the specific needs of expats and internationals like you. Today, we're proud to announce that Franglo is now available for expats in many, many more places... nearly 60 countries and regions in all!

It's pretty easy for us to launch Franglo sites for new places. What's hard is getting people to use them... a classifieds website isn't very useful without lots of postings to browse. So I'd like to ask you for your help.

Please spread the word! Take a look at the list of available sites. Tell your friends and colleagues living elsewhere around the world about Franglo, and ask them to give us a try!

Some other recent improvements...

• See country/region information in "My Postings"
• More user information in replies
• Greater visibility for Featured Postings
• New, more effective (and more affordable) banner ad program

...and there's a whole lot more coming. Over the coming months, we'll be adding a wide range of features that will make Franglo even better—more effective and easier to use. Stay tuned!
