Canadian online classifieds, Tradepoint.ca, unveils a new homepage specifically designed to accelerate successful search results, while remaining sensitive to user navigation preferences

Toronto, Ontario, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/07/2006 -- Cars, furniture, real estate and jobs are just the start, as Canadian free online classified site Tradepoint.ca unveils a homepage with a new vision where searching and browsing online classified sites can be easier, faster and more effective.

Today, Tradepoint.ca's navigation is based on research related to user navigation preferences and psychological profiles, aligning user expectations and experience with the most relevant search results. The new home page presents three search options, which appeal to different audiences:

- Dropdowns are for the users that know exactly what they want. By pulling from a series of dropdowns, results are narrowed down immediately with no need for browsing.
- Browse by Category is designed for users that prefer to narrow search results progressively by browsing categories or subcategories, followed by proximity, price, date, and other criteria.
- Keyword Search is the traditional truncated key word search methodology that focuses on title, description and key word elements selected by users that post items

The aim is to ensure buyers and sellers are being connected by generating the most relevant results that any particular user is expecting. "The pace of new features, functional and technology is staggering. As Tradepoint grows it's important to always remain focused on the user – simplicity of use and ease of adoption always have to be the primary objectives", says Bo Pelech CEO of Tradepoint.ca.

Tradepoint.ca sponsors local rock band The Ryde through the online music community UltimateRockStar.com

Toronto, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/14/2006 -- Cars, furniture, real estate and jobs are just the start, as Canadian free online classified site Tradepoint.ca continues it's mission to become the most feature rich and comprehensive online classified in the marketplace.

As part of Tradepoint.ca's grassroots sponsorship program, Toronto indie rock band The Ryde have just finished recording their self titled debut EP at the prestigious Metalworks Studios.

Tradepoint.ca sponsored the indie rock band to the tune of $10,000 worth of recording time at Canada's top recording studio. "Recording at Metalworks was an amazing experience for all of us, it took our sound to a whole new level", said drummer Jeff Johnson. The EP was co-produced by 2005 Juno winning Recording Engineer of the Year, L. Stu Young. "Being sponsored to record with engineers that did work on Aerosmith and Sum 41's albums was amazing – they really captured our energy" said bassist Boris Novak.

The band just returned from Thunder Bay, Ontario where they played the 2nd annual "Rock the Fort" festival and their biggest show to date. More than 45,000 people watched as they shared the main stage with classic rock acts such as Quiet Riot, Heart, Bachman & Cummings, Helix, and Vince Neil from Motley Crue just to name a few.

Tradepoint.ca is looking forward to sponsoring its second indie band to the same recording deal. Almost 300 bands have already signed up for a chance to win at www.UltimateRockStar.com, a platform which also showcases the feature rich elements of Tradepoint.ca, that exceeds those of all other online classifieds in the market "Whoever wins this year", added Ryde front man Tim Shaw, "you have no idea how lucky you are."

Bo Pelech, CEO of Tradepoint.ca added, "You can't believe how appreciative the guys from The Ryde have been, it really makes you feel like you're helping and doing something worthwhile." He further quipped, "I hope these guys still talk to us when they're rich and famous".

Toronto, Ontario, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/10/2006 -- Cars, furniture, real estate and jobs are just the start. Now, Canadian classifieds site Tradepoint.ca is introducing a new online media opportunity for advertisers – "Pay Per Entry". As advertisers become increasingly concerned with the value of online impressions and click fraud, Tradepoint.ca has created a results-oriented alternative for advertisers. Under the program, Tradepoint.ca will sponsor online contests for advertisers, where advertisers pay only for actual entries. Advertisers simply have to provide the prizing and Tradepoint.ca does the rest. There are no upfront fees and advertisers only pay for actual entries. The fee per entry is about the same as click-thru charges, yet contest entries are incredibly more valuable.

The first advertiser taking advantage of PPE ("Pay Per Entry") is the South African musical hit UMOJA. Entrants will have the chance to win a South African night out on the town and see UMOJA live in Toronto. Tradepoint.ca will send three lucky website users and their guests to experience the South African musical hit UMOJA at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto. UMOJA, quoted as the "Best Stage Show Ever" by the Windsor Star, has taken the world by storm with its vibrant performances. It's a pulsating musical celebration of South African song and dance, and is a high energy, non-stop, tour-de-force that has played to sold-out houses around the world.

Bo Pelech, CEO of Tradepoint.ca comments on this initiative. "As advertisers question the value of impressions and concern continues to grow regarding click-fraud, what can possibly be of more value then only paying for the attention of those consumers that actual enter your contest? And the cost per entry is about the same as a typical click-through. Plus, it's a great way to build an opt-in database that advertisers can continue to communicate with. This new product launch is doubly blessed as the spirit of UMOJA, and the ideal of togetherness, are important principles that Tradepoint.ca tries to work and live by."

The contest will run online from March 8, 2006 until March 21, 2006. The entry form can be found at http://www.tradepoint.ca/umoja.
