Purging Advertisements and Moving Forward

2008 was quite a year for chiropractic classified advertising on planetchiropractic.com. Categories such as Chiropractor Practices For Sale and the Help Wanted categories had reached all-time highs for listings. More than 800 chiropractic offices were listed for sale across the USA and Canada and more than a thousand help wanted ads were placed during the year. In an effort to keep things fresh and allow for continued growth, we made some changes today on active classified advertising listings. For all of our visitors that have classified advertising accounts, we'd appreciate that you check in to see that your advertisements are current and accurate.

2008 was quite a year for chiropractic classified advertising on planetchiropractic.com. Categories such as Chiropractor Practices For Sale and the Help Wanted categories had reached all-time highs for listings. More than 800 chiropractic offices were listed for sale across the USA and Canada and more than a thousand help wanted ads were placed during the year. In an effort to keep things fresh and allow for continued growth, we made some changes today on active classified advertising listings. For all of our visitors that have classified advertising accounts, we’d appreciate that you check in to see that your advertisements are current and accurate.

I decided to push the button today on the big purge, permanently deleting an estimated 2874 classified ads that were placed during 2008. Many of these ads are assumed to have expired but users had selected to not have the advertisements auto delete after the designated expiry period. We understand, chiropractic ads can be an odd game. A chiropractor seeking to do an associate may be looking for offices for several months. We felt it’s a better approach to let users moderate their own advertising, in case they haven’t yet found the results they were seeking.

The same goes for those selling clinics and offices. There are cases where practices may be selling within days of being listed online. Other times offices may be listed for months on end while a prospective chiropractor is seeking out that perfect opportunity. Regardless if it be practices for sale, student chiropractors looking to associate, equipment for sale, deals on financing and leasing, we pulled the plug on many of the ads we considered to be expired.

So, if you have an active account for the classified ad system, check in and check up on your advertisements. If you’re browsing for chiropractic related products and office items, continue on as usual. At the rate new classifieds are posted each day, it won’t be long before another 3000 advertisements go live.
