The news paper has command of the local market and has done well of creating a web site to carry its print ads online. The web sites do not need to be pretty or have lots of functionality.<br /> <br /> The paid alternatives are <a href=http://www.canadatrader.com>Canada Auto Trader</a> and the free alternatives are <a href=http://hfx4sale.com>hfx4sale.com</a>, <a href=news:hfx.forsale>hfx.forsale</a> and halifax.craigslist.com.<br /> <br /> Canada Auto has a local office and its web site looks much better then wheels press.<br /> <br /> Today, wheels press has 564 listings and autotrader for Nova Scotia has 301. As competitors I bet they have close to the same users and traffic. Trying to work your way into general online classifieds for cars would appear to be difficult for the province of Nova Scotia. The only way I see getting a good market would to create more of niche.

The paper has a viewer ship of just under 300 000 daily and the web site 170,000 unique visitors monthly.<br /> <br /> The paper its self does fairly we, expect as an all ready established business I do not see it adapting to the modern trends on the Internet fast enough.<br /> <br /> This in my eyes means that eventually someone will grab the market share for the local news online from the Herald at one point or another. Of course there is some of these sites already in development.<br /> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 18:19:04 -0300 http://blog.is.ca/archives/36-guid.html
