How does it work?

Websites that already have a user base, join the extura advertising network. By doing this they provide a service to their users, for example the ability to search for plumbers, electricians or gardeners in their local area. They will also earn a percentage of any advertisements sold via their site. Advertisers, like yourself that previously would have to shell out multiple fees to advertise on different sites, simply pay once, and their advert is shown on every relevant website on the extura network (subject to your approval).

What is in it for you?

For a price that would be considered inexpensive for advertising on a single site, you have the benefit of advertising on every relevant site on the extura.com scheme and every relevant site that joins thereafter for the duration of your advertising period. Every website (web publisher) wishing to join the extura advertising network must apply to us in order to be approved beforehand. This involves checking that their site is appropriate and meets our high standard before approval is given. We also make periodic checks on all existing sites on the network to ensure these standards are upheld.

How can you create your advert?

Creating your advert is easy and free with no obligation to buy - just go to our Advert wizard and fill in your details. You can create your advert and preview it free of charge. There are numerous features your advert can have, such as a location map, logo, colours of your choice, website link. It is all very easy to do, simply follow the step by step guidelines until you are happy with your resulting advert.

How do people see your advert?

Once your advert is on the extura advertising network, it is available for viewing on the websites that have signed up to the extura network (subject to your approval). Your advert may be seen on multiple sites but it is stored only on extura.com, so that we have complete control over it at all times. On a website, the end user (i.e. your potential customer) would enter their postcode/town, and select the category of service they require, for example a decorator. He would then be presented with adverts for that region.
