Two Hot Fads Meet Online: Local Classifieds Do Blogs

Online marketplace LiveDeal announced a local person-to-person ad distribution network that turns any website or Blog into a unique and localized classifieds site in seconds. LiveDeal Local AdWiz (beta tested under the name LiveDeal Listings Creator) pulls from LiveDeal.com's 100,000 local classified listings across multiple categories and enables them to be republished on any website with just a few clicks.

Local AdWiz goes live February 15 on LiveDeal.com, and the company says bloggers and Web publishers can now tap into a grassroots network of P2P buying and selling to generate positive cash flow. LiveDeal manages the listings and the ecommerce transactions on the back-end, and whenever an item is sold through a blog or other website, the site publisher earns a share in the transaction.

Local AdWiz is Web-based and fully customizable. It requires no coding and takes only seconds to set up. Local AdWiz taps RSS technology or XML readers to continually update its listings with new items, ensuring fresh content on a by-the-minute basis.

The product was introduced at this week's DEMO Conference.
