For those of you who sell litters, please pick your preference.
I'd like to see what the majority wants.
Please keep in mind that you can edit your ad a limitless number of times and can delete your ad at any time. (but please don't delete it just so you can repost it! :wink: )
What she is saying is if the majority of people place one ad when pregnancy is confirmed and the ad was for 90 days there would only be one ad posted per litter. Now, people could post at conception, at birth, and at 8 weeks so there could conceivably be 3 ads per litter instead of one. However, I like the 60 day ad better as long as they can't be bumped, only the breeder can edit, and they fall off automatically.
Bump! The math, simplified:
50 litter ads per month posted, 90 day cycle: 150 ads at any one time.
With reposting at 60 days: 50 breeding announcement ads per month + reposts of 50 just-born litters + reposts of unsold puppies = potentially 150 ads per month; 300 ads at any one time. And we'll be back to what caused all the fuss in the first place, new ads (that really are new, not reposts) dropping down to the 2nd or 3rd page.
50 litter ads per month at time of breeding.....times 2 equals 100
Next month 50 more ads for the whelping....minus 50 ads being deleted. Zero gain.
Second month, 50 ads for more left over pups, 50 ads for litters just born and then 50 ads deleted....net gain is 50.
That is still only 150 ads just like you had. Actually though, you'll only see 15 ads or less for left over pups. So the REALITY is....more likely to have LESS ads at any one time on the boards.
When we had the 90 cycle, we had 3-4 pages of ads. We aren't going to have any more ads then what we have now.
It's pruned at 60 days. Old ads can bump brand new ads now.
Let's see how it goes.
