AMERICANLISTED INTRODUCES "HYPERLOCAL" APPROACH TO ONLINE CLASSIFIED ADS MARKETPLACE

New, Free and Family-Friendly Classifieds Provide Unique Ability to Search for Products and Services within Neighborhoods, Towns and Cities.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - February 2, 2010 - AmericanListed.com, a new online classifieds site, is presenting consumers and businesses with a more effective way to sell and buy products and services within their cities, towns, or even within the ultra-local confines of their neighborhoods. AmericanListed.com is the only free site offering a highly localized or hyperlocal approach to buying and selling products and services online today that offers a user-friendly experience when viewing or posting an ad. Additionally, AmericanListed is committed to providing a family-friendly online selling arena.

AmericanListed.com's local reach capability offers users the ability to list and search classified ads in all zip codes, cities and states in the United States easier than any other classified ads site. For example, a user in Stockton, California can post their 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser to a prospective buyer who may reside only a few blocks away as opposed to having to group his or her listing into the closest metro area where it may get lost or not even be relevant. AmericanListed's simplicity, smart search engine and design make it easy for customers to post ads for products and services they want to sell or buy. AmericanListed.com also does not post adult-oriented material and constantly monitors the site to remove any inappropriate postings.

"Until AmericanListed, classified ad sites really focused on larger metro areas and maybe a few cities within each state," said AmericanListed.com President Thomas Westling. "Consumers often want to buy or sell something locally, even within their neighborhood, and that's tough, if not impossible, with bigger classified ad sites. AmericanListed.com is the only site offering a truly local reach so users have the ability to list and search classified ads in all zip codes."

Placing an ad on AmericanListed.com doesn't require a user to create an account and there are dozens of categories on AmericanListed.com with many more being added every day in categories such as electronics, homes, cars, jobs & employment, rentals, services and clothes. A standard listing is 60 days, eliminating the need for the seller to have to constantly update their posting. AmericanListed.com also presents advertisers with an opportunity to market their brands and products to a mass audience at the local and industry-specific level.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - April 16, 2010 - A sad and disturbing crisis that ravages cities and towns across America is about to strike again: Couch Abandonment. Each spring and early summer during the moving exodus from campuses and cities, the phenomenon occurs nationwide. Thousands of abandoned couches line sidewalks and pile up forgotten around dumpsters, waiting to end up in land fills. In an effort to stop Couch Abandonment, AmericanListed.com, a free, hyperlocal online classifieds site, is launching a contest for college students and anyone who is moving to share their story of why their couches deserve to be saved and have a chance at a new life.

Simple and easy rules for the contest:

To enter, applicants must submit either a video (no more than two minutes) or a written testimonial with a photo (no more than 250 words) explaining why their beloved couches deserve to be saved from abandonment. Videos and testimonials will be posted on AmericanListed.com each week.

During the first few weeks of the contest, AmericanListed.com will award a weekly prize of an iPod to a contest winner. The grand prize winner will win a new couch to take home to their new living space.

To enter the contest or check out posted applicant videos and testimonials, please visit www. AmericanListed.com.

"With Couch Abandonment a major concern in cities across America from Boston to San Francisco and towns from State College to College Station, AmericanListed.com is dedicated to putting a stop to the crisis and giving these couches the chance for a new home and life," said Thomas Westling, president of AmericanListed.com. "AmericanListed.com offers college students and all movers an easy, safe and family-friendly place to post their old couches and other unwanted items online for sale, as well as look for new items to purchase or exchange. We hope Americans will join us in our effort to end Couch Abandonment."
