Horse Appeal - Horse Classifieds

Horses, more than any other animal, have shaped the course of human history. The horse closed the gap between distant lands, changed the nature of the hunt and altered how battles were fought. Horses have been a passion of mankind since time immemorial and its utility and usefulness has always been valued - both in war as well as peace time.

Built entirely using open-source codes, this website is a marketplace for horses and horse related services. Anyone can list and sell his/her horse or related service and anyone interested in acquiring one, can contact the seller directly. Basically, others buy and sell and you collect the fees.

Currently set as free for promotional purposes, it is intended to charge for listings later on. Users can be expected to pay, say, $25 for a 180-day listing. Payment system is already built-in to charge through PayPal and just needs to be activated from the dashboard. 100 listings per month will being in $2500, 250 listings per month will bring in $6250, 500 listings per month will bring in $12500, so on and so forth. Listings are made for a period set by Admin and auto-delete on expiry, or revert to draft mode.

While ads can be placed without registration, persons interested in listing their horses for sale may wish to register at the site. Registration enables them to edit their ads and upload video clips.

The site’s revenue model is based on charging for listings and Adsense is shown on detailed listing pages. A robust system built on PHP and MySQL DB will scale to hundreds of thousands listings without any noticeable delay in response time. Horse Appeal - like sex appeal - that's this domain. Ask someone with a passion for horses and he/she will swear by it. Highly brandable domain name for such a service.
