88DB.com: A 'supersite' with a super team

MANILA, Philippines - PC Magazine Encyclopedia defines a Web portal as a “Web ‘supersite’ that provides a variety of services, including Web search, news, blogs, discussion groups, shopping and links to other sites.”

88DB.com is all that and more. It is the Philippines’ first rich multimedia service and lifestyle portal. As such, it is a classified ads portal that is focused on services and service providers.

To a lesser degree, it is also an information portal that provides editorial content that is of interest to its visitors. Skilled workers and professionals will find a home in this site.

It is also an ideal place for medium and small enterprises, which have restricted budgets for marketing efforts, to reach a wider audience for a fraction of the cost that traditional media requires.

In the 4th DigitalFilipino SPI Top 100 Web Awards, 88DB.com won the Directory category award. 88DB.com is more than just a directory, however. While advertisements on the site are classified according to industry in order to ensure that ads are targeted toward the appropriate audience, the site goes a step beyond by offering typical classified ads.

Ad pages have video and audio capabilities, allowing advertisers to better showcase their ware and services in their ads. For example, voice talents can upload clips of their voice so that potential clients can see for themselves what the service providers are capable of.

With over 2.6 million page views and 500,000 unique visitors per month, 88DB.com consistently ranks among the top advertising choices for entrepreneurs who wish to get more for their buck.
