I would like to thank PH for making someone laugh at me

[LHDisbest]

Can i ask a question chaps? Who does your ad copy writing?

I was reading this weeks Autocar on the train this morning when i came across the PH classified ad. I actually was laughing out loud when i noticed two young girls were pointing and laughing.

Cheers!

Its great, the scratch and sniff Garlick patch is a work of genius.

One of the freelancers in the office... I will pass on your message

To be honest, the Ad is very true, i hate to think how much time i've spent trawling through the PH classifieds.

Is that right Pete, 2 million visitors for the classifieds?

If so, holy crap and congrats, no wonder Haymarket were so keen to have it on board.

Yes, we are approaching 2.1 million at the moment, when I started working here (3 months after HM bought the site) we were on about 800,000 visitors so been frantic work to make sure the architecture can handle the growth we added to the site

Not bad for a pokey motoring website/forum.

There must be some happy faces in the HM boardroom.

Not when I ask for more hardware so the site can keep running

I would have guessed the traffic through here would have made the advertising quite lucrative?

I know hee-haw about advertising as you can probably tell!
