New Worldwide Freight and Shipping Directory

14:15.15 - Thursday 19th April 2007   (Link to This Entry)

Something I've been working on in my other job, a new freight directory that uses the 'selling pixels' approach to advertising, allowing customers to purchase pixels ads in a geographical area, as well as advertising their freight or shipping company in the usual text-based format.

www.WorldWideFreight.web.com

Since the site has just launched, advertising blocks are available all over the world, although the North of England is filling up quite nicely. The site will be of interest to anyone in the Freight, Shipping or Logistics industry:

• Port Authorities / Ports & Wharves
• Shipping Lines
• Ferry Operators
• Airlines
• Airfreight Forwarders
• Logistics Providers & Freight Forwarders
• Autologistics Providers
• Ships Agents & Ship Brokers
• Customs Agents & Brokers
• Transport, Distribution & Warehousing
• Cold Storage & Temperature-controlled Distribution
• Professional & Support Services
• Rail Freight
• Bulk Handling / Warehousing
• Terminal Operators & Stevedores
• NVOCC - Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier

Advertisers can post free Requests for Tender which will eventually be sent out to interested parties, as well as post their own Press Releases and news items. There's currently no restriction on the amount of text they can have in their company profile, either.

The site has been a good few months under development and represents a major departure for me - this is probably the most complicated thing I've done so far.
