What are Featured Ads and what are the benefits of a Featured Ad?    (click here to see an example Featured Ad)
Featured Ads are Stumblehere Ads which appear in a special Featured section of a category's page for several days. We have found through our extensive research that more people read and reply to these Ads because of their prominent position on the first page of a category over a long period of time. Thus, by converting your Ad to a Featured Ad, you will get more traffic and more replies to your Featured Ad than other Ads on Stumblehere which helps you sell your item quicker or provides more exposure for your products or services. Additionally, Featured Ads will continue to appear within the regular category and search listings, giving your Ad even more exposure even after your Ad is no longer in the Featured Ads section. While posting Ads on Stumblehere is free, there is a small fee for converting it to a Featured Ad.

Featured Ads incur a small fee of $4.99 per Ad and the Featured Ad promotion will last for 30 days.

What is the difference between a Featured Ad and Featured PLUS Ad?
A Featured Ad is defined above. When you purchase a Featured PLUS Ad, you receive all of the benefits of a Featured Ad and for only $2.00 more, your ad will be posted on all of our partner websites (in addition to Stumblehere.com) which will help drive even more traffic to your ad.

What is Move to Top ad promotion?    (click here to see an example of Move to Top)
In addition to the other options to promote your ad, you now have the ability to “Move your ad to the Top” of the particular section that your ad was posted in. How does this work? When you post an ad on Stumblehere, you merely check one of the following three options: Move to Top 5 times, Move to Top 10 times or Move to Top 15 times. When you choose one of these three options, Stumblehere will automatically move your particular ad to the top of the section where you posted your ad every three days and as often as you respectively chose (5, 10 or 15 times). This will save you so much time and energy and allows you to keep your ad fresh without having to re-post your ad – which also allows you to focus on other more important things to do. The small fee for this is $2.00 for moving the ad 5 times, $3.50 for moving the ad 10 times and $5.00 for moving the ad 15 times.

What is LOOK HERE?   (click here to see an example of Lookhere Ad)
The LOOK HERE feature is the logo that is placed next to your Ad to help bring attention to your Ad and allows it to be more attractive to a potential buyer of your item or service. We have found through our extensive research that more people read and reply to Ads that have the LOOK HERE logo than those Ads that do not have this feature. While posting Ads on Stumblehere is free, there is a small fee to add the LOOK HERE logo to your Ad.

What is a "Homepage Sponsored Ad"?   (click here to see an example of a Home Page Sponsor Ad)
In addition to the other options to promote your ad, you now have the ability to place your ad in the "Homepage Sponsored Ad" portion of the website. How does this work? When you post an ad on Stumblehere, you have the option to click the box marked "Homepage Sponsored Ad". When you check this option, your respective ad will appear as a sponsored ad on the right hand side of the homepage when a visitor of the site is in the USA only section. Additionally, if you check the option called "Run of Site", your ad will appear on every single page in our website. This will provide your ad with more exposure than if you just placed the ad without any upgrades which will lead to more traffic to your ad.

What is a "Search Page Sponsored Ad"?   (click here to see an example of a Search Page Sponsor Ad)
In addition to the other options to promote your ad, you now have the ability to place your ad in the "Category Sponsored Ad" portion of the particular section that your ad was posted in. How does this work? When you post an ad on Stumblehere, you have the option to click the box marked "Category Sponsored Ad". When you check this option, your respective ad will appear as a sponsored ad on the right hand side of the section in the city where you placed your ad. This will provide your ad with more exposure than if you just placed the ad without any upgrades which will lead to more traffic to your ad.

Why can't I see my Ad in the Featured Ads section?
To refrain from overexposure to the Featured Ads option, we are currently limiting the Featured Ads to a maximum of 3 Ads per category. If there are more than 3 Ads which were paid to appear as Featured Ads in a category, then the extra Featured Ads will be hidden and set up on a rotation system. This rotation system is created to ensure that all Featured Ads are exposed to as many Stumblehere users as possible and provides each Featured Ad an equal opportunity to be seen by a potential buyer.

Can I delete a paid ad and get a refund?
Unfortunately, no. The fees for Ad Promotional Products are final NON-REFUNDABLE and ALL SALES FINAL. Should you decide that you no longer desire to have your Ad promoted, you may elect to delete your Ad. Additionally, if the Featured Ad is in the wrong category, feel free to edit the Ad and place it into the correct category.

What payment methods are accepted to pay for an Ad?
You can pay for a ad by using a major Credit Card (MasterCard, Visa, AMEX or Discover). All payments are securely processed through our payment center to protect your personal information.

If I edit my Ad, will it still appear in the Featured Ad section and/or LOOK HERE logo?
Yes. Currently your Ad shall remain in the Featured Ad section until it you have deleted it or until the maximum of 30 days has expired.

My Paid Ad was deleted. Will my fees be reimbursed?
As stated above, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the site, Featured Ad fees and LOOK HERE fees are non-refundable. Additionally, if you have deleted your Ad or if the Ad was deleted by Stumblehere for violating the site policies, then the fees paid to list the Ad in the Featured Ad section and/or LOOK HERE promotion will not be refunded.

Can I make an Ad a Featured Ad in more than one category?
Currently, no. At the moment you can only place an Ad in the Featured Ads section in the category in which it was posted. Please remember that Ad will also appear as a Featured Ad in the category's parent section. For example, if a Featured Ad was bought in the "motorcycles for sale" category, it will also appear in the main parent "cars & vehicles" section. Your Ad will also appear in searches that also match any word in your Ad title. For example, if someone searches for a Honda Civic and the title of your Ad add contains Honda Civic, Honda, or Civic, your Featured Ad will appear.

How can I upgrade a free Ad?
To make an existing Ad a paid Ad, simply log-in to your account and then click on "my classified ads" from there click on "promote"
