Free Classifieds — Not
Philly.com, the Philadelphia Enquirer’s Web site sent me a breathless email today making what they said was a great offer: “When you place your next online classified ad with us before July 15, 2005 we’ll give you a Free Bold Title. This draws attention to your ad so you can sell your stuff quicker!”
Gee, let’s see: Philly.com, free bold title. Philadelphia Craigslist, free ad altogether. (It is free to advetise in Philly.com’s merchandise area, the email says.) Will that free bold title make you bite?
