Although our software will do its best to resize your images to fit your advert best results can be achieved by making sure that your images are at least 270 pixels wide, the software can scale down image sizes but it can't make them bigger. Try to make sure that your pictures are all of the same orientation as it will make scrolling through the slide show smoother.

Meta tags

Meta tags are used by search engines such as Google to determine the content of a page and are sometimes used to display information about the page in search results but they will not be visible on your ad. For best results fill in a short but accurate description or phrase to describe your property or copy and paste the first few lines of your ad in to the Meta Description field. For the Keyword box just use a few well chosen keywords such as the type of property or accommodation and it's location etc.
