Welcome to Ollo, the simplest and most flexible classified advertising service around. You can advertise your business, your car, your house or just about anything (that's legal) on Ollo. You can link to your own web page or site or create a page on Ollo with pictures, text and contact info. Advertising is free on Ollo (yellow boxes around the ads) or you can pay a small fee for higher ranking (orange boxes around the ads).

Search results are seven to the page rather than the usual 10. This is because tests tell us people fully read lists up to seven items but no more. There are up to seven pages of results for any given search.

Searches are available on keywords (What), on location (Where) and on price (Price).

  • Not all fields are needed for any search. Leaving the location and price blank will yield a worldwide search on just keywords.

  • Sometimes you may want to restrict your search to a particular country in which case just add it to the location box. You can put in a town or city too. You might want to put 'Birmingham UK' unless your want 'Birmingham USA'.

  • Price is a useful box when looking for things like cars or houses. You can put in a number and get all price matches within 10% of that number or enter a range like '3000 to 4000'.

So you have powerful searching in a unique format. We hope you find what you are looking for or sell stuff with Ollo.
