"I would really recommend an enhanced listing on bristol-online.com
My business has gone from strength to strength since my enhanced listing appeared on the web. I am now in the position of having to turn away potential clients.
After wasting lots of money on newspaper advertisements, I realised the internet was the way forward. I found that an enhanced listing brought in lots of interest which, added to word of mouth from customers who had found me on bristol-online.com in the first instance, proved to be the right decision."

Why does it work ?

Enhanced listings get more visits to their website (click-thrus), than those of standard listings. In fact more than double.

For example over the last 7 days,
in the Driving Schools category, the click-thru's per listing for enhanced listings ( 11.8) is currently over 4 times that (2.7) for standard listings. See table below:

Listing Type	Number of Listings	Number of Click-thrus	Click-thrus per Listing
standard	63	171	2.7
enhanced	17	201	11.8

In the Letting Agencies category, the click-thru's per listing for enhanced listings ( 39) is currently over 3 times that (11.4) for standard listings. See table below:

Listing Type	Number of Listings	Number of Click-thrus	Click-thrus per Listing
standard	46	526	11.4
enhanced	1	39	39

How does it work ?

The enhancement system works like this:

• you buy a certain number of 'click-thrus' (minimum 200) at 5p each.
• your listing then shows in an enhanced way, above non-enhanced listings in browse views and in search results the listing is also shown in a 'Sponsored Listings' section. Please note that search results are ALWAYS returned in order of RELEVANCE to the search terms only.
• each time your listing is clicked by a visitor (ie opening your website) the number of remaining click-thru's is reduced by one
• once all click-thru's are used, your listing reverts to normal appearance and placement
• the ranking of enhanced listings is determined by the number of unused click thru's - the more unused click thru's you have, the higher the ranking of your listing is likely to be.
• the number of enhanced listings in any one category is currently limited to 10 at any one time. * NB From 1st December 2007 this restriction will be lifted *

You can buy more click-thru's to keep your listing enhanced. You are able to check the number of remaining click-thru's at any time from the 'Owner Edit' link in your listing.
