Alaska's List strives to maintain a clean, well-organized Web site where folks can buy and sell things online in a professionally moderated environment. With that in mind, we welcome you to post any tangible thing or service you may have for sale, lease, or rent, provided that your ad does not contain anything illegal, profane, pornographic, libelous, or anything which might otherwise violate our Terms of Use Agreement.
With tens of thousands of visitors every day, Alaska's List couldn't possibly run unqualified ads describing what each of our users is looking for. Our site would quickly become unusable for shoppers. Therefore, wanted ads and for trade only ads are only accepted for publication when they are posted as Featured Ads.
Subject to our discretion, advertisers who are using Alaska's List for, or in support of, commercial purposes are required to purchase one of our low-cost Featured Ads in order to advertise.
Multiple Items in One Ad
If you are offering to sell items separately, then you must advertise those items separately in a separate posting. However, if you are offering multiple things together as a package deal, and as a package deal only, and you offer them that way before you submit your ad, then we may, subject to the sole discretion of Alaska's List, permit you to do so, provided that you must have already included the following two sentences at the bottom your post: "Sold as a package deal only. Will not sell separately" (without the quotation marks, of course). Under all other circumstances, all items must be posted separately, in separate ads.
Individual prices for each items in a package deal ad are also not permitted in package deal ads, since such items are not being offered separately. Also, due to the fact that package deal ads are often changed back to multiple item ads by the user at some point after submission and moderation by our staff, package deal ads may be, subject to the sole discretion of Alaska's List, permanently locked (editing disabled) upon moderation, and the user will not be unable to edit the ad at any point afterward. Consequently, the advertiser will be subject to a nominal $1.89 Deletion Fee in order to have our staff manually remove the ad from the List if the user wishes to remove the ad from the List before it expires.
Pet Sales
Due to the huge amount of fraud now taking place on the Internet with respect to pet ads, and most notoriously, puppy and kitten ads, we may ask you to confirm that you really do have the animal that you are offering for sale by uploading a picture of that pet that you are wanting to sell with an object of our choosing placed near it, within 24 hours of posting. That way we will know that animal you are selling actually exists, and that your photos, if any, are not just some photos that you found on the Internet. We also will not run ads posted by people advertising animals which have not been born yet. We believe it is fundamentally wrong to advertise something for sale which does not even exist yet. The potential risks posed to our readers by such advertisements are just too high to ever publish them.
General Stipulations

This Agreement is personal to you and you may not assign your rights or obligations hereunder to anyone.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that all logos, brand names, products, trademarks and service marks appearing herein may be the trademarks or service marks of Alaska's List, or their respective owners.

You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that the Publication Policies of our Web site, some of which you hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree may amount to information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process which derives independent economic value from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by other persons who may obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and that the Publication Policies of our Web site are therefore hereby protected from public disclosure to you or anyone else by the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA).
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that the content at Alaskaslist.com is provided by Alaska's List, and by individual contributors, third party licensees, and/or other users. You hereby acknowledge that Alaska's List permits access to content which may be protected by copyrights, trademarks, and other proprietary, including intellectual property rights, and that these Intellectual Property Rights are valid and protected in all media existing now or later developed and except as is explicitly provided below, your use of our content shall be governed by applicable copyright and other Intellectual Property Laws. You acknowledge, understand, and agree that, by posting any content at Alaska's List, you grant Alaska's List the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide right ownership and copyrights to Alaska's List of any and all such content, in perpetuity, until at such time as you delete the posting.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that Alaska's List will attempt to send you an Ad Management Email when you make a posting at our Web site, and that this email, should it actually be delivered to you by your email service provider, is not an unwanted spam email, but rather a fullfillment email, which permits you to access the Ad Management Page for that individual posting, so that you can manage it in accordance with our Terms of Use Agreement. You also hereby acknowledge, understand, opt-in, and agree to receive these Ad Management Emails from our Web site on a regular basis, and in perpetuity, until at such time as you delete the posting.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that Alaska's List may send you an Ad Management Text when you first post your ad at our Web site, and that this text is not an unwanted spam, but rather a transactional text, which permits you to access the Ad Management Page for the ad that you posted ad. You also hereby acknowledge, understand, opt-in, and agree to receive these texts from our Web site on a regular basis, and in perpetuity, until at such time as you delete the posting.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that Alaska's List does not offer free services to anyone; and that our Web site is intended to provide valuable advertising services in return for equitable compensation for those services; and that Alaska's List may sometimes decide to provide free adverting services, on a limited basis, or as a charitable public service, to some users who may qualify for such services under the Publication Policies of our Web site, or as a loss leader; and that when Alaska's List, in its sole discretion, does decide to provide such free services to any user of our Web site, it shall thereafter become the sole responsibility that user to edit, manage, update and dispose of their ad, without any assistance at all from Alaska's List using the Ad Management link that is provided to you by our server on the Posting Success page.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that, like any business, Alaska's List believes in Free Market Capitalism, which is the exchange of goods or services between parties for their mutual benefit; and that our Web site is, in fact, a celebration of that idea. You also acknowledge, understand, and agree that that Alaska's List rejects every idea of Communism, including the one which proposes that people or businesses are entitled to receive valuable goods and services for free, as well as the notion that people and business are obligated to provide goods and services to others unrewarded; and that we reject those ideas for all of the same reasons anyone else engaged in commerce does -- because the notion of entitlement is antithetical to Capitalism -- the idea that drives all commerce; the theory which motivates people like you to sell your things here on Alaska's List, as opposed to giving them away for free.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that in the event that you submit a post without purchasing a Featured Ad, that post will be considered by Alaska's List as a request for charity publication of your post on our Web site. However, you hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that, should you do so, Alaska's List is under no obligation to actually publish the material that you post. You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that Alaska's List, when considering your request for charity publication, may require you to provide convincing and verifiable evidence that you genuinely cannot afford paying for our low-cost advertising services. You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that, while there are numerous reasons why we will not accept your posting without payment for our services, some or all of which you hereby agree may amount to a Trade Secret, Alaska's List will not, under any circumstances publish a posting by any user for free which exceeds the price limitations that we have been established for each category of our Web site, some or all of which, in our sole discretion, may change from time to time based upon market conditions; and that such price limitations also amount to a Trade Secret which is protected from public disclosure under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA).
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree to safeguard the Ad Management Link that is provided to you by our server on the Posting Success page which is displayed to you immediately after you post; and to manage your post responsibly, using that link, at all times thereafter; and to delete that post in a timely manner after you have sold the item or service that you were advertising. You also hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that any unused time that you may have remaining on your ad, if any, after you have sold your item or service, are not transferable to other items or services that you may wish to advertise in its place.
You also hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that, in the event that you delete your ad, rather than comply with our Terms of Use Agreement, or comply with our Publication Policies, or comply with any of the Editorial Directives that we may issue to you with respect to your ad, doing so will be construed as an act of bad faith on your part, which violates the Good Faith Provisions set out within our Agreement; and that upon doing so, any and all payment[s] that you may have made, if any, which are relevant the ad in question will be forfeited with prejudice; and that any such payments are not transferable to any other posting.
You hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that when making payments to us via our third party payment processor for a Featured Ad, you will exercise due diligence by ensuring that you only make the number of payments that you intend to make, because whenever you make payments to Alaska's List for a Featured Ad, you do so proactively, of your own volition; and that whenever you may do so, your ad is automatically credited for such payments, thereby increasing the number of days it will be published (its Ad Term). Therefore, whenever you make any payments to Alaska's List via our third party payment processor, whether intentionally or unintentionally, any such payments cannot and will not ever be refunded to you, because you have already agreed herein that all sales are final; and that because Alaska's List is charged a non-refundable fee by our online payment processor for each transaction that they process on our behalf, Alaska's List does not offer or give refunds under any circumstances.
Donations Welcome
Alaska's List has been providing Free Ads to Alaskans as a public service since 2009. If you would like to show your support for what we do, please feel free to make a donation to help fund our efforts by clicking the button below.
Thank you for your support.
AK4Ever!
Deleting Your Ad is Easy
In order to delete your ad, simply click on the special edit link contained in the Ad Management E-mail that we sent to you when you first placed your ad. When you click on that link, you will be taken to the Ad Management Page for that ad. At the top of that page, there is a "Delete Ad" link, which you may click in order to delete your ad.
You can also send us a
Deletion Request from the e-mail address you used to place your ad. We will quickly process any Deletion Request sent to us from the e-mail address of record for any ad. If you have more than one ad, be sure to provide us with the Ad Number of the ad you want to delete. That number appears at the top of every ad.
If, for some reason, you no longer have lost your Ad Management E-mail, or don't have access to the e-mail account you used to post your ad, or you can't remember the e-mail address that you used to post the ad, no problem. We understand that sometimes happens. Just tell us as much in your Deletion Request. There's lots of ways to skin a moose.
Making Payment
When you post your ad, you will be presented with a secure PayPal Button, which you will click on to make payment using any debit or credit card.
PayPal membership is not required, and you won't be required to login there even if you are a member. You can simply pay using your credit or debit card to do so, even if you don't have a PayPal account.
Gun Section Policy
Because we support your God-given, Natural Rights to Free Speech, and to Keep and Bear Arms, which are guaranteed under the Constitution, we do permit firearm and firearm-related advertisements here at Alaska's List. However, we must require that you publish your telephone phone number in your Gun section ad, and rely on that number as your sole means of contact with our readers. For everyone's safety, Gun Section ads are a "by telephone only" thing at Alaska's List.
Web Site Promotion Policy
It has never been our intention to become an Internet search service. Alaska's List is a classifieds site, and so, quite naturally, we want advertisers to provide enough compelling information in their ad to cause our readers to want to call or write to them, and say "Hey! I saw your ad on Alaska's List, and..."
That's what it's all about--making that connection between the buyer and the seller happen right here at Alaska's List rather than somewhere else. This policy is essential, as it helps to ensure that the high value of our service doesn't go unrecognized.
While we do permit links to external sites in our Featured Ads, we do not permit links to third-party sites, or to sites which host, link to, or reference, competing services.
Editing Privileges Disabled
Pursuant to our Terms of Use Agreement, editing privileges for this ad have been disabled by our site's Editorial Staff.
The most common reason for this action is that it was found to contain prohibited content, or it was found to be set out in such a way, which violated our Terms of Use Agreement or Publication Policies, or all of the above.
Whichever the case may be, editing functionality for this ad has been disabled in order to ensure that it will no longer require the attention of our site's Editorial Staff.
While you may no longer be able to edit this ad, your ability to delete it whenever you wish to do so remains unaffected.
Thank you for your understanding.
14 Days only $3.49 = 29¢/day
30 Days only $4.89 = 16¢/day
60 Days only $7.89 = 13¢/day
90 Days only $9.89 = 10¢/day
Front Page Image Promotion
The front page is the busiest page at Alaska's List. Over 75% of all visitors come to Alaska's List using our front page as their starting point. So, it just makes a lot of sense that you would want to present what you're offering to those eyes. Many visitors may not be headed to your category, and seeing an your image there might be all that's necessary to pique their interest, and cause them to click through to your ad.
Sitewide Image Promotion
If you purchase a 30-Day, 60-Day, or 90-Day Featured Ad, we will look to see if you have good photos with your ad. If you do, we will add the best one to the random display of Featured Ad images that readers see at the top of each category and the front page. This will increase the number of eyes looking at your ad by orders of magnitude.
Everybody knows that we often buy things that we weren't searching for to begin with. In fact, a lot of times, we don't even know we want something until we see it. That's just human nature. So, reaching out to folks who are visiting the front page, or browsing through different categories, and showing them what you're offering, just makes a lot of sense.
Basically, for what amounts to
less than the price of a cup of coffee, you'll be able to continuously advertise everywhere on Alaska's List, and all you had to do was post a Featured Ad in order to do it. With well over 45,000 people visiting the site every day, that's powerful, low-cost advertising potential you really can't afford to ignore.
No matter which Featured Ad Option you might choose, we will look to see if you have good photos with your ad.

Search Engine Visibility
You can never underestimate the importance of search engine visibility, and that's why we make sure that Featured Ads get seen first, not only by the readers who come directly to our site, but by the millions of users of Google and the other search engines like Bing and Yahoo.
Optimizing our Featured Ads so that they rank as high as possible in Web searches is something we work hard at, because it's one of the most important things we can do to make Featured Ads a valuable advertising product.
What this means is that whenever someone searches for something at Google or any of the other major search engines, and that user's query matches the content of your Featured Ad, it will likely show-up in the search results, provided the ad contains enough relevant information. This is a huge advantage you can only get when you post a Featured Ad.
Since millions of people "Google" what their looking for on the Internet, posting a Featured Ad at a popular, high-traffic Web site such as Alaska's List, where it will be found in Internet searches, is one of the most important things you can do as an online advertiser.
If you have a Web site, or need one...
Our search engine optimization is so good that, if you already have a Web site, you can expect to get a lot more traffic once you begin promoting it in your Featured Ad here at Alaska's List. Some Featured Advertisers have told us that over half of their Web site traffic comes from folks clicking over from their Featured Ad. This is what is known as "referrer traffic."
Not only will more people be finding your Web site here, but its page rank with Google and the other search engines will also improve, simply because it has become linked to from a popular, high-traffic Web site such Alaska's List. When you run a Web site, page rank is EVERYTHING, and anything you can do to improve it is money well spent.
In fact, over the years, a few of our Featured Advertisers have actually shut down their Web sites altogether, after realizing it was a lot easier, and a lot more cost effective for them to maintain a Featured Ad here at Alaska's List than it was for them to keep a Web site up and promoted all of the time.
After all, you could potentially maintain a Featured Ad here at Alaska's List that will perform better than your current Web site, or any that you could affordably build and promote, for only $39.56/year, which is a bargain.
A Featured Ad at Alaska's List is better than a lonely Web site because you get to take advantage of the enormous amount of traffic we get here every day. So, for instance, if someone arrives here after finding one of our ads on Google, it's quite natural for that visitor to "look around" to see what else is being offered in that category, which can often lead to great results for our Featured Advertisers, because those visitors will generally only spend a short time here afterward, mostly looking at our Featured Ads. This, of course, is because most folks are busy, and Featured Ads are the easiest to browse, and the most qualified ads to respond to.
Choose Your Best Picture Last
When selecting images from your device, choose your best picture using the last selector button in this group (the one on the bottom rather than the top). Doing so will ensure that our readers will see your best picture when they hover over your Featured Ad title.
Upload Your Best Image
Choose your best picture for uploading when you first post your ad. After you finish posting, you will be able to upload three more pictures to your ad using the tools we provide for you on your Ad Management Page.
We have found that many users don't know how big their images are, and that when they try to upload four high resolution photos taken with today's high megapixel digital cameras, the posting will often fail because the images are too large, and because their upload speed is limited by their ISP. When this happens, it takes a really long time to post the ad, which can not only be very frustrating to the poster, it may even cause the post to fail entirely.
High resolution photos taken with today's digital cameras can often produce enormous file sizes (over 4 Megabytes), and most folks are unaware that their upload speed is only a fraction of their ISP's advertised download speed. So, we've found that the best way to avoid this source of frustration is to just limit the number of pictures during the initial posting process to the best one.
Everything goes a lot smoother when we do it this way, and it really doesn't make much difference if you upload them in a separate step, because you still have to wait on them to upload for the same reasons you do when you first post (upload speed and file size). At least, by doing it this way, the posting process goes more smoothly for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding.
Better Page View Rate
After publishing our first 500,000 Alaskan classified ads for those first 42 million users who viewed them, we analyzed our logs and found that those visitors viewed Featured Ad pages twenty (20) times more often than other pages, which translates to a huge advantage.
This is due to our excellent search optimization (SEO) of Featured Ads.
Scores of people come directly to Featured Ads after finding them listed in their Google, Bing and Yahoo searches, which is why Featured Ads are viewed so much more often. If you want to reach out, and make your ad available to the millions of people who are constantly searching the Internet, you'll need a Featured Ad to get that done.
Anti-Spam System
We work really hard at protecting users from the kind of unwanted e-mail Spam they get so much of at other sites, and we've become really good at it. In fact, we hardly ever get any abuse reports from advertisers who are using our Contact Form to receive e-mail responses to their ad.
While it would be foolish for us to tell you how we do it, we will tell you that we have blocked, and continue to block, all known Spam sources we have encountered over the past five years which originated from networks in Non-English speaking countries. It's amazing what a huge difference this one step alone has made in the quality of responses that our advertisers receive when using our Contact Form.

Perhaps one of the biggest hurdles you have to overcome these days as an online advertiser is the "confidence hurdle." Many online shoppers, for good reason, have grown skeptical of the free listings they encounter online, and just won't respond to any that they think might be a waste of their time.
So, anything you can do in order to qualify your ad as legitimate and timely, and improve the confidence level of the reader will give your ad a huge advantage, and increase the likelyhood that it will be successful.

Personal Attention and Service
Most of our users don't need any help at all. They know just what they want, and how to get it done using Alaska's List. Other folks need more, and that's where you'll find us at our best; personally helping those who need it get the most out of their advertising in ways they never expected, but were always happy to discover.
Placement Advantages
Today's Internet shoppers are like everyone else: pressed for time, and there's a lot of competition for their limited attention. So, it only makes sense that you would want your ad at the top of the List where Featured Ads are presented, because that's where it's most likely to be seen by busy eyes.
Not only are Featured Ads always displayed first to readers when they're browsing or searching Alaska's List. They're also displayed first to search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, which monitor and index Alaska's List continuously. In fact, when a new Featured Ad is placed, it's generally indexed by Google and Bing in only minutes, and then it is quickly made available to the millions of people who are searching those services.
Special Highlighting Effects
We spent years working out what the most ideal highlighting effects we could apply to our Featured Ads. Finally, we gave Featured Ads a much bigger and bolder typeface, an alternating backround, an extensive 327 character text preview, as well as an engaging image preview that compels users to focus their attention on your ad's preview image at the exclusion of all others, giving your ad the reader's undivided attention.
Cell Phone Number
Cell phones are ubiquitous now, and have become the primary means of communications on our planet. Therefore, we ask that you provide a valid, working cell phone number that we and our readers can use to communicate with you about your ad. For the safety of our readers, we do not permit anonymous (by email only) advertisements at Alaska's List. We use cell phone numbers in order to verify the legitimacy of ads posted here, and to provide real-time text support to our Featured Ad customers.
If you have a land line, and want use that number in your ad as well, we have no problem with that. Simply type in your cell number first, and then your land line after. For example, you would type your numbers in the following format: "907-306-8148 or 907-529-8172" (without any quotation marks, of course).

You can easily activate this ad by choosing one of our low-cost Featured Ad Options, and clicking the "Buy Featured Ad Time" button to checkout. After you do, your ad will be activated, and moved to the top of the List.
Post Deletion Service
While post deletion is a fully automated self-service that is provided free of charge to all advertisers whose postings were accepted for publication, and who afterward self-managed those postings responsibly, in full accordance with our site's
Terms of Use Agreement. Under all other circumstances, post deletion is a time-consuming, manual process that we should rightfully be compensated for.
Site Statistics
We take pride in the number of visitors we get to our site every day, because that's what it's all about, putting as many eyes in front of the classified ads as we can. We know how to do that, and we do it well every day. In fact, we are so proud of our
Web site's statistics that we have always made them publicly-available for everyone see since the first day we launched the site.
When looking at our stats, please be aware that they could be even bigger than they are, but we made a decision long ago to block most non-English speaking foreign countries from visiting Alaska's List. What this does is eliminate much of the problem you see at other sites, where illegitimate e-mail responses are so commonplace.
Free Ads are Powered by You
We don't believe that advertising on the Internet should have to be like combat fishing. We understand that some things sell quickly, and that some things take longer. But, no matter how long it takes, we agree to keep your Free Ad in front of our readers, and to make sure that everyone follows our (once per item every 30 days) posting rules, and you, the Free Advertiser, agree to manage your ad responsibly by deleting it whenever you no longer need it. Not only is this a fair deal, we believe it's the most straightforward and hassle-free way to advertise on the Internet.
When shopping at Alaska's List, always try to remember that just because an ad has been on the site for 5 minutes doesn't mean it's still for sale, and just because it's been on the site for a long time doesn't mean that it's not. A lot depends on the realities of supply and demand in the marketplace for a particular item. So, if you see an ad on Alaska's List, especially a Featured Ad, you should presume that the item is still available, and contact that advertiser if you're genuinely interested in what they're advertising.
We think that's the beauty of Alaska's List; advertisers only have to post their ad once, without ever having to babysit it, or worry about it, and readers are able to look at Alaska's List as a comprehensive, ongoing inventory of what's really available in the marketplace; not just what those few, intrepid souls, who had to spend so much of their time re-posting their ad over and over again, were willing to post. There's really more out there than that.
Not only do readers benefit from this broader look at our State's unique Marketplace, Alaska's advertisers are provided with a better way to advertise online than the stressful and time-consuming (and therefore costly) combat advertising arenas provided (free?) elsewhere.
Thank you for your support.
The Last Updated date indicates either the last time the ad was actually edited by the user, or in the case of Free Ads that have been on the List for more than 30 days, it might indicate the the date that we last sent a notice to the poster, inviting him/her to delete their ad if they don't need it anymore. We do this automatically every thirty days with all Free Ads, because Free Ads run until the item sells, and do not expire like Featured Ads do.
