The URL field in the ad details of our classifieds website is specifically designed to provide users with additional information about the product or service being advertised. The primary purpose of this field is to allow advertisers to link to a relevant page where potential buyers can find further details, such as specifications, reviews, or terms of service, that complement the information provided in the ad description.

Appropriate Use of the URL Field

When you include a URL in your ad, it should directly relate to the product or service you are offering. For example, if you are selling a specific item, the URL could link to a page with more comprehensive details about that item, such as its full description, user reviews, or purchasing options. The URL field is not intended to replace the ad description but to enhance it by providing more in-depth information that would be helpful to potential buyers.

Prohibited Practices

To maintain the integrity and quality of our platform, we have specific rules regarding the use of URLs in ads:

1. No Duplicate Links to Homepages: We do not allow any user to include multiple links to the same homepage within their ads, nor do we permit different users to link to the same homepage across multiple ads. This practice is considered spamming and can degrade the user experience on our site.

2. No Duplicate Links to the Same Secondary Pages: Similarly, both individual users and different users are prohibited from linking to the same secondary page of a website across multiple ads. Each URL must be unique and directly relevant to the specific product or service being advertised.

3. No Links to Pages Requiring Registration or Personal Information: The linked page must not require users to register or submit any personal information to access the content. Links that lead to pages with mandatory registration forms, surveys, or any method of personal data collection are prohibited.

Enforcement of Rules

Ads that violate these guidelines will be rejected. Users who repeatedly attempt to bypass these rules, whether by posting multiple ads with duplicate links themselves or coordinating with others to do so, may face account suspension or permanent blocking. Our goal is to ensure that all listings on our platform provide genuine value to users and remain free from spam or misleading content.
