I am evaluating classified extensions. I would like to hear some reasons why i would use this one vs the other ones which are free? Also the fact that you do not have contact information on your site does not make me fee comfortable. Also, can i import data from text files?

I look forward to your response.

Same question here. No contact info, no who's who, and the typical low-grade, slapped on site template makes this look like a fly-by-night operation where "support" and future development will be non-existent. Same for unanswered queries in this forum.

That said, I've tried all the other Classified extensions, and I currently use Noah's Classifieds for Joomla. (I am actually running it on Mambo.)

RSads looks stable, effective, and very customizable. The main competitor is the similarly priced "Marketplace" at Joomster.com which was--in its last version--a little hard to work with on the backend, but possibly simpler to use for most people who may find RSads too technical and labor intensive. Moreover, Joomster issues all its second-to-last version releases for FREE. They have been up and running in continuous development for several years. Their site and support seems very professional. The owner responds to individuals queries by email and forum post. And they have modules, plugins for CB and forum integration, plus the finest messaging system for Joomla which also ties into Marketplace. Their current version may be what I want to upgrade to now, but I am curious about RSads now too.

RSJoomla: I suggest you clean up this site a little and pitch RSads as the most customizable classified extension available for Joomla. Work in some more custom control over RSS output, demonstrate some geocoding/mapping, and you have a product that will appeal to the best, most serious Joomla developers.
