Can I place an ad for The Dallas Morning News print classifieds on
the Web site?Answer:
Currently advertisers

Ads placed in the daily newspaper will appear on our Web
site only on the day they run in the paper. Classified ads placed in the
Sunday paper, however, will remain on the Web site throughout the week
following their publication.
6. Are the display
ads I see in the printed Automotive, Real Estate and Employment sections
on your Web site?

Beginning January

their ad online. Display ads from the Sunday New Homes and Sunday
Homes sections are featured from the Real

Sunday automotive sections are featured from the Automotive
index page. All other weekend display ads are found in the searchable
database.
7. Why cant I bookmark
certain pages of your classified Web site?
Answer:
Most content pages of
the Classified Web site can be saved. However, search and result pages
can not be saved due to the dynamic content they contain which changes
daily.
8. Ive noticed a number
in parenthesis beside each classification. What does that number mean?
Answer:
This is the total number
of daily and Sunday ads for the classification posted on our Web site.
9. When I try to use
the keyword "4 bedroom" when searching your real estate classifieds,
I only get a few results. Can you tell me why?
Answer:
When searching the classifieds
keep in mind sometimes advertisers use abbreviations in their ads such
as 4 BR or 4/3/2 which translates to 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 car garage.
You may want to browse the listings under your desired area.
Abbreviations are used
in many of our classified listings for more information on common
abbreviations, see Help
under search tips.
Look for additional answers
to questions you may have under the "Help"
button on the classified Web site. If you have a question, please
feel free to email our customer service department at .
