GR Site Touts 'Family Friendly' Online Classifieds

Online classified sites have recently come under fire for their racy adult-oriented ads and  postings from online scammers.

A Grand Rapids entrepreneur now says there's an alternative available that's constantly monitored by real people to maintain its family friendly focus at www.itsallwork.com.

"We wanted to create a family friendly online classified marketplace where people can come and get some great deals or find new friends all without having to worry about questionable or dangerous content," said Rommie Bailey, founder of ItsAllWork.com. "The online classified sites have really been in the news lately. We are the safer and more user friendly alternative."

ItsAllWork.com features online classified categories such as  community activities, employment ads, real estate listings, pet ads, vehicles for sale, local professional services and even a category for Bible study groups.

"We have all the popular categories just like our competition, without all the smut and scammers," Bailey said. "Just like the other online classifieds, it is free to browse or post an ad on our site."

The Web site is constantly monitored by its dedicated full-time content team and any questionable advertisements are immediately removed. It conveniently offers comprehensive classified listings for major cities in the United States, as well as in Canada.

"Users can also set up a personalized account to monitor all of their listings in one place," Bailey said. "Listings on ItsAllWork.com are posted for two weeks then the user can relist if necessary."
