"Free Speech/ Free Ads" for local communities

Newszap.com has a brand new look. The redesign is bolder and brighter!

The 80+ community homepages have always enjoyed heavy traffic from their local communities. Now visitors to the site find it easier to navigate and access local forums, photos, events, classifieds, community links, and more.

Each page welcomes visitors with a burst of stars that promise: “Free Speech” and “Free Ads”.

The vibrant new format takes social networking for the local citizenry to a whole new level. These town portals are a place where everyone can participate and have a voice, just as the First Amendment intended.

A “Free Speech with Civility” public forum is featured at the top of every community homepage. Users create their own topics, and local issues are often debated vigorously.

Visitors are invited to “Post Your News” or “Post Your Photos”. Photos typically uploaded are of high school sports contests, school activities, service club meetings, community festivals, and lots more.

Citizens are urged to “Post Your Public Event”, too. Each community homepage offers residents two calendar links. One is for finding and posting local community happenings, while the other encourages the listing of state/regional events.

Free classifieds permit the advertising of personal items at absolutely no charge. Free business, civic, school, sports, places of worship, and blogs & columnists links are part of a local links directory.

The community homepages have new display advertising sizes. In addition to newszap.com's traditional banner and tile ads, the pages provide half-banners and dominant rectangular ads, as well. These ads are linked to the local advertser's website and sold based on audited visitor “impressions” at the individual pages.

There’s also links for world and national news, stocks & travel guides, movies, TV listings, & entertainment information, white and yellow pages, maps and greeting cards, horoscopes & lottery results, even a page offering money saving coupons redeemable at local grocery stores.

Newszap.com's “new look” is exciting! Be sure to take a look at newszap.com.
