Maps: New on Adzooks
Little icons tell you where the ads are located. When you click on an icon you'll see a summary of the ad details, so you can decide whether to view the full ad or not. You can even magnify the map to see all local street names, and the direction of the road traffic, in case you're thinking of going there by car.
If you haven't found what you're looking for in your area, you can scroll around the map to see all the ads in neighbouring areas - especially useful if you're looking for accommodation.
Happy hunting!

Locations and Profiles – webbing the link
You may have noticed a couple of recent additions to the sites: user profiles and locations pages (the latter live on the London, North Wales and Teesside sites, coming soon to the others). These emphasise the community aspect of each area and allow new ways of linking ads together, creating exciting new ways of searching the site.
User profiles give you the chance to have your own page on the site, with a little information about yourself and a list of all your ads. Your profile will have a link on all of your ads and through these links it will be easier to get people to see all of your ads, and so works best the more ads you have.
The location pages enable you to find all ads in and around a specific area. For example, in London you can search for all ads in any part of North London (http://london.adzooks.co.uk/location/north-london), say Enfield, and immediately see all ads related to that area (http://london.adzooks.co.uk/location/north-london/enfield/). This works by postcodes – you put your postcode in when you post an ad and Adzooks files it in the relevant area. So for whichever Adzooks area you live in, you can find everything that’s going on in that area.
The information supplied (postcodes and your profile) are used to make these links work. If you are the nervous type, only worry if we start asking you for a few hairs and a one of your rear molars (though the request for nail clippings is perfectly fine – it’s just my hobby, nothing to be alarmed about). Locations and profiles have been designed to help you sort through the ads, find what you want and maybe come across something you otherwise wouldn’t have known about.
