LoQUo is a free classifieds site, where anybody can post as many listings as they want free of charge.
This, thou, implies some challenges to maintain a good user experience for the community:
• Is an attractive target for SPAM, because there is no monetary cost. Because of this, and regardless of our best
efforts to keep SPAM under control, spammers have developed automated sistems or use very cheap labor to break our protection mechanisms (for example,
the Captcha [read more])
• To give more visibility to their listinhgs, users tend to post multiple times: This way they can have their
listing on the first positions for free.
For all of these reasons, we've implemented a duplicates detection system. The goal of this system is to prevent that on the
same day a post (or one that's very similar) is published more than once.
With this system in place we hope that spammers abandon the use of automated systems, or, simply, that publishing on our site implies too much
of an effort/investment to be worth it.
We understand that there are legitimate users that are used to post their listings more than once a day to gain more visibility. The
following advice is for them:
• Posting a listing once a day is allowed (and encouraged), and remains free (gratis).
• If you want to increase the visibility of your listing, please remember that we offer several added value services. Click
here for more information.
• The fact that you can't publish a listing more than once a day, doesn't necessarily reduce its visibility, because all users
will have to follow the same rule, so less listings are going to be published on a day and your listing will maintain the top positions for more
time.
• If you've composed a listing and the system doesn't allow you to publish it, please try again the next day, and you should be
able to publish your listing without problems.
If you try to publish a listing, and you think that the system is wrong about your post being a duplicate, please, send us an email to
questions-tenerife@loquo.com from the same email you used to publish your listing and our customer support team will
study your case.
