Our website was compromised during the last few days and as a result of this all persons who have placed adverts from the 26th Sept to 29th Sept inclusive of both dates will not have their adverts appearing as all data for those days has been lost.

Our experts are working on the problem and late last night established that the data was lost at our service provider.

To help us to recapture this data we kindly request you to re-send your adverts and they will then appear as normal on the website.

We apologize for this inconvenience. We have taken steps to prevent such instances from happening again in the future.

One positive side effect is that all our files will now be backed up on a 8 hour cycle automatically. This means should such an event occur again in the future we will only have 8 hours of data that will have been lost.

WE are actively investigating methods and means to reduce this 8 hour cycle down to an acceptable level. Ideally we would aim for minute by minute backups.

That is our aim and we sincerely hope that we achieve this target in a realistically short time span. 

Once again thank you for your valued support and understanding.

Just a quick update on new happenings at www.mtp-classifieds.com

 As you now the website is continually being updated, modified and changed, all o make it more user friendly for you our valued users.

  1. In the last week we have added several new sections
  2. Trade Exhibitions
  3. Real Estate
  4. Automotive
  5. Health and Fitness
  6. Oil Industry

More will be added as soon as it becomes apparent that new sections are needed.

Traffic is growing at a spectacular rate and this shows us that we are offering a service that is accepted and above all read by people in the Middle East as well as read by visitors from all over the world.

 On the economic front all news reports suggest that the worst is behind us.

 Last week some of our staff travelled to Abu Dhabi and saw hectic building and construction, it would be fair to ay that this Emirate has a building boom and the landscape is changing at an astonishing rate.

It makes sense to invest in new projects now because the building boom will soon spill over into he other Emirates restarting current projects and opening new projects.

The bottom line is those who recognize opportunity early reap the major portion of the reward before the stragglers arrive in bulk and hope to get a share of the rewards.

In short the time to invest is now. The time to advertise is now. The time to contact potential customers is now.

Have a very happy weekend and may all your dreams and aspirations become reality.

Maximizing your advertising.

Advertising in the classifieds and in this case free advertising is a good efficient way to reach your potential customers.

However advertising, customers, the economy are forever in a state of change and you have to adapt your advertising methods to reach an ever larger market, after all the economy is global, so why not try to reach the global market.

With your own website you control what is put on it, how you want it displayed and you can change it when you want to suit your particular situation as and when change is needed.

How is this done and by what methods and how much will it cost you may ask, well we have decided to share a few methods with our advertisers so that it may help them to become more efficient.

Your biggest step will be to get your own  website up and running.

  1. These are some of the steps needed to do this.
  2. Design a website, or have it done for you, or use this link ————————-as it may be able to help you.
  3. Host the website on the internet.
  4. Register your website name.
  5. Generate traffic so that people visit your website.

 In the coming days we will write regular detailed updates on this subject for each step needed to get your website live.

 We have done it and have gone from 0 to 436 enquiries per day in just  90 short days, these are specific enquiries and a big boost to our business. If we can do it, then so can you.

On the economic front it seems as if the world economy is slowly dragging itself out of the recession and here in Dubai the business mood is getting more positive every day.

Oil is steady around the $70 per barrel mark and remember the gulf states produce a single barrel for about $30 per barrel and that is a $40 per barrel on every barrel You do the math how much money is being generated here in the gulf, and we call this a recession

 It takes time for people to realize that the biggest fear we have is the fear of the unknown, but with Dubai opening its new Metro System yesterday and planning to have the whole system operational in 12 months, the Dubai Government has just put a very bold positive message to all in the Gulf.

The message is

 “ We the Dubai  Government have  faith in our economic prospects and are prepared to invest money in our economy.”

 This is fantastic news for the Gulf region because business will accelerate and this will help the whole world economy to come out of the recession.

It is not just the Gulf States, it is India which is booming with a massive government infrastructure rebuilding and expansion plan, It is China and the whole Far East that is growing at a pace 8% per year and this is in a so called recession. It is record exports from Australia that does not seem to have been affected by the recession.

 In the years to come we will see the economic power move from the west to the east as we are witnessing already by thousands of companies from the west knocking on doors in the east wanting to open up shop in these economies.

I just feel sorry for the people who read this too late or fail to appreciate the enormity of the upswing that is coming.

Now is the time to invest in new plant and equipment to plan new projects and to advertise your services.

 Have a very happy productive day.

It is the holy month of Ramadan and we wish all our visitors and clients a happy and wonderful Ramadan Kareem.

 The website www.mtp-classifieds.com is growing very well.

 We are now 90 days old and we have an average of 375 visitors per day from the Gulf region who are looking at the site and they keep coming back.

 We are still continually updating the site to make it easier to navigate and our aim is to make it the most user friendly site. This will be difficult to achieve, but with your input and helpful suggestions we feel that even if small improvements are made on a weekly basis the benefits will be there for all users to enjoy and benefit from. So please keep those suggestions coming because they are for your benefit.

 One area we are looking at now is how to make the placing of an advertisement much easier for you. If you have any specific suggestions that you feel will make it easier to place an advertisement please let us know at

info@mtp-classifieds.com so that we can incorporate them into the website.

 On the business front things are slowly but surely showing an improvement. The rate at which major contracts have been put on hold seems to have stopped and here in the UAE we are even seeing building projects that have been stopped being restarted again.

 We feel that the world economy can not remain depressed for ever and any increase in economic activity is good however small it may seem now.

 This is a very good time to plan for expansion of your business as there are some real bargains in used machinery on the market right now.

 It is always wise to be a leader in trends rather than a follower because the leaders will be the ones who will make the most profit out of the next economic upturn. This upturn in the world economies is coming and even if 100 experts say otherwise , one simple fact remains, annually there are millions of new consumers coming into the world economy and they all need jobs, they all need food ,housing, fresh drinking water, electricity, cars, computers,  TV’s and a million  other items to make their lives easier. In addition to this equation our old people are living longer and now need a different set of services like better medicines, more holidays, better living units , more golf courses.

 The list is endless of what is needed every day by consumers worldwide so take a step back and look at the big picture and plan your business future accordingly.

Have a super interesting, productive and wonderful day
