Title: Import ads of others platforms
Post by: aletuba on June 28, 2011, 03:43:55 am

To create a script that allow you to import ads based on other platforms, like OLX or Trovit or Oodle to populate your classifieds site. It would be very interesting, because it would facilitate the process of partnerships with other sites and the inclusion of ads in batches.

        Yes this is an interesting idea but Im not sure if you would be allowed to do that unless you got permission or had a partnership with the place you are grabbing the ads from. There is enough competition in the online classified market as it is not sure popular classified sites would let you use their content to populate your website with their ads my guess would be that they would not let you.

I won't suggest you attempt to do this unless you contact them or you could have one hefty law suit on your hands. So I would say stay away from that idea....

Hi,

We developed a plugin that does just the opposite thing, send to OLX, Trovit, Oddle,... your ads, so they will be listed on their sites. Will you find usefull take ads from other sites and include them at yours? What is the point?

Thanks

The idea is to import ads from other sites that publish on OLX, Trovit, Oddle.

For example, a real estate agency publishes your ads automatically via XML Feed on OLX, if providing this tool to import xml files we also import these ads to our site and consequently increase the ads number quickly.

Due the publishing of several ads at the same time, this tool will attract several companies as a partner.

Great idea...

I was thinking about the same. We could use a software like simplepie and adapt it to parse and aggregate ads to osclass.
