Montana Gun Classifieds is the workhorse behind most MontanaGuns.Org sites.
The feeds displayed in the right sidebar of each site are configured to display ads posted at montanagunclassifieds.com, by category, related to that generic search engine term.
For example: Search for “Montana Ammunition” at Google.
This is done to help build online exposure to your firearms classified ads online. It is tuned to help increase search term and keyword criteria online.
As well as appearing at the main site, when users post ads in the firearms category, they also appears at Montana Guns For Sale and Big Sky Gun Trader. Ads posted in other categories automatically appear in the relevant gun sites as well.
These sites will be forever under construction and modification to better suit Montana’s online firearms needs. Ads posted at Montana gun classifieds in the relevant categories automatically appear at the related firearm sites for the most part now. You can help develop the sites and Montana’s strength online with firearms by simply posting ads at the classified site. Individual ad hits and site stats increase daily as more folks “discover” the sites through online searches. I have no intention of ever paying to advertise these sites, they are long term projects on discovery mode. If your aware of or even want to post a local Mom and Pop gun shop with contact information and a review, that is now possible. Please choose the most appropriate category to do so. This can help build your ads local exposure and help local gun shops, dealers, gun clubs, shooting ranges, and enthusiasts, etc, go directly to the content they need, rather than having to dig for information.
Montana gun classifieds is a simple do it yourself, free advertising in Montana related to everything local firearms community site.
I personally relate to and consider the advent of the internet to the freeway system and how it affected the small towns in its path that dried up. The vision behind these sites is to help with this current and future problem. The larger online local retailers who have worked hard to become the leaders online in Montana may not like this, but this and all sites allow for the “little guys” and “Mom and Pop” shops to get their firearms and ammunition related goods and services online, without having to build a webpage of their own. The “big guys” are also welcome to post free ads as well. This is an “equal opportunity” gun classifieds site. All categories require users to define whether they are dealer or not when posting, this enables an easy search if you’d rather deal with a private party.
I have debated on whether to modify to allow for user accounts and have decided to do so in order to make it easier for “Mom and Pop” to get online easier and update their information, any promotions they may decide to do and edit their existing ads, etc. More to come soon on this. It will be the simple ability to create and login to an account in order to edit your current ads.
Pulling a feed for your local website is simple. A main site feed is available that pulls all ads for the entire state from every category. The main site feed URL is: http://www.montanagunclassifieds.com/feed/posts/ Simply copy and paste this URL into your site however you like. The most recent 20 ads for your selection will display. To obtain specific city or category feeds, simply select your city, and subscribe for the main feed or click the city, then specific category and subscribe to that individual feed.
Several modifications and new categories have been added, this has been the objective since the beginning of this project. Style modifications have also been made to be more consistent with the other websites. Thanks for looking and using the sites. Contact me directly with comments if you prefer not to post publicly.
