Newfoundland Bus Tours

January 26, 2011

When visiting Newfoundland, why not take in a full service Newfoundland Bus Tour?

Newfoundland Bus Tours offered by companies such as Buckle’s Busing Ltd of Corner Brook, provides tourists and opportunity to get up close and personal with some real Newfoundland Culture.

Some of the more popular Newfoundland Bus Tours include a trip up the Northern Peninsula, taking in the UNESCO world heritage site of Gros Morne National Park where you can explore a real Newfoundland fishing village, take a whale watching tour or a hike up Gros Morne Mountain.  Is there a better way to see such a popular tourist attraction than sitting in the comfort of a bus, while having local Newfoundlanders share their experiences and knowledge of the area?

Car rentals in Newfoundland can be difficult to arrange due to the number of tourists.  However, with a Newfoundland Bus Tour, you have an economical mode of transportation and can go as part of a group or by yourselves to the popular tourist attractions in style while you sit back and relax in an air conditioned bus.

Check out these and many more great Newfoundland Charter Bus Tours from the many operators throughout the province.

Scammers and Spammers for Newfoundland Classifieds

April 5, 2010

Many of the Newfoundland Classified Ads sites are seeing an increase in spammers and scammers posting ads for “at home jobs” or services that are often questionable.

When contacting several of the Newfoundland Classified Ads sites in writing this article, Corner Brook Classifieds responded within a few minutes of receiving our request stating:

We have seen a major increase in the last several weeks in the numbers of spammers and scammers visiting our site.  Our security team has been working overtime blocking the IP addresses and email addresses being used, but it’s often a game of cat and mouse.  When we put measures in place on our classified ads site to prevent such activity, the scammers and spammers find ways around these measures.

When doing a deal online using one of the Newfoundland Classifieds sites, use some common sense.  If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.


Newfoundland Real Estate and Classified Ads

November 1, 2009

Free classified ad sites such as Corner Brook Classifieds, NLClassifieds and NLDeals provide Newfoundland real estate agents unique opportunities to sell online.  The free classified ad site provides an opportunity to promote their listings economically and effectively without incurring advertising costs, allowing them to lower their commissions on their services.

Newfoundland real estate agents who are not using these free classified ad sites are missing an opportunity.  By not leveraging these sites, they pass up market opportunity to sell real estate across Newfoundland.

People around should also check out the real estate listing at these free classified ad sites.  There may be a deal waiting for you and with the Newfoundland Real Estate market heating up once again, finding that next deal may be worth the effort.


Classified Ad Sites Losing Members?

October 14, 2009

Are the free classified ad sites losing members here in Newfoundland?  It’s difficult to judge but in looking at the trends on several of the free classified ad sites, it has become evident that ads tend to be reappearing after a few days and the same people are posting duplicate ads on the same site.

Is this an indication that members are not seeing successes or are people just that desperate to sell their items?

A quick search of the free online classified sites here in Newfoundland shows that there are many items the same across all the classified systems.  It’s eviden that these people are hoping for more exposure for their items and in some cases this is working.

The largest site, NLClassifieds is obviously seeing an increase in traffic from people viewing ads, but the number of people selling seems to have dropped.  NLDeals is showing an increase in traffic but its security measures limits traffic to only those people in Newfoundland.  Kijiji Canada has many visitors, but most of the Newfoundland classifieds are businesses from outside of the area targeting Newfoundlanders.  Corner Brook Classifieds which targets just western Newfoundland with its free classified ads, appears to have a much smaller user group posting but a massive readership in its classified ads.

What happens in the next few months will be extremely interesting with respect to these free classified ad systems.  Will they continue to bleed members or will there be an increase?


Corner Brook Apartments

October 5, 2009

Corner Brook apartments are becoming a rare commodity to find these days.  Boasting a 0.1 percent vacancy rate, Corner Brook is a difficult place to find apartments and rental units.

This makes it difficult for people wanting to move to the area for work and school.

This is where free classified ad sites such as Corner Brook Classifieds can help.  Currently there are two rental properties available on this free classified ad site, with a 2 bedroom apartment having over 56 views in less than 24 hours.

If you’re searching for an apartment in Corner Brook, it’s well worth checking out the free classified ad sites.


Corner Brook Classifieds for Businesses as Well

September 30, 2009

Corner Brook Classifieds, a new free classified ad site is open for business and this is a site with a twist.  While most free classified ad sites allows businesses and commercial entities to post ads for a price, Corner Brook Classifieds allows businesses to post their ads for free.

“It’s a fine balance”, says a Corner Brook Classifieds spokesperson.  “While we allow businesses to post their ads for free, we don’t want Corner Brook Classifieds to become a haven for businesses.  It’s something that we will monitor and see how things develop.”

With this offer, businesses have an amazing opportunity to reach out to people who are actively seeking to buy a product that they may offer.

For more information, check out Corner Brook Classifieds.


Corner Brook Houses for Sale

September 29, 2009

There are many houses for sale in Corner Brook, with many of the listings handled through real estate agents.  This doesn’t stop you from listing your house for sale on a free classifieds ad site such as Corner Brook Classifieds.  It’s very easy to do and can provide another opportunity to drive traffic towards the real estate agent who is showing your house.

Placing your house for sale on the free classified sites takes only minutes.  It does not mean that you have to personally handle the sale.  It provides exposure to your listing and when you do get an email contact or phone call about your house, you point them to your agent and let them handle the potential buyer.

Corner Brook real estate is competitive.  There is such a low vacancy rate that real estate agents don’t necessarily provide the exposure that they should for some listings.  Take matters into your own hands and list your house on the free classified ad sites.  Get traffic, get results!


Kijiji Opens New Cities in Newfoundland

September 27, 2009

In an effort to gain even more market share in the Newfoundland Classified Ad space, Kijiji Canada opens access to 3 three citys and towns in Newfoundland.  Corner Brook, Gander and Labrador have been added to the local cities and towns covered by the popular ad service.

It will be interesting to see if the popular site Craig’s List follows this move and expands its offerings as well.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians now have more options of where to post their free classified ads.


Music Instruments on Newfoundland Classified Ad Sites

September 25, 2009

Thinking about picking up guitar?  Have a child that’s interested in piano?  Why not look to some of the free classified ad sites in Newfoundland for your next music instrument?

We’ve all been there and while Newfoundlander’s as a whole are a pretty talented bunch, not everyone is cut out for music or can learn to play a music instrument.  This leaves many music instruments up for sale on many of the Newfoundland classified ad sites.

A quick search on Corner Brook Classifieds reveals a complete set of drums for $425.  Another search reveals a Hohner Acordian for $225.  What about a keyboard available on NLClassifieds for $50.

Online classified ad sites gives people the opportunity to sell their unwanted music items for a variety of reasons – whether they are upgrading to the next big thing, lost interest in the instrument or discovered they have no talent.  Online classifieds also provides Newfoundlanders a market to find some great deals as shown above.

The next time you’re in the market for a music instrument, check out the Newfoundland classified ad sites.  There may be a deal there for you.
