Yes! We are very aware of the increasing problems that spam cause. To guard you effectively against spam, we came up with powerful methods. Some of them are obvious, others are hidden. However, we cannot give technical details due to understandable reasons.

We will send you all contact requests via the contact form directly to your email address, which you gave in the contact data. We keep this email address a secret to protect you.

The German law requires your email address in your imprint. We make a great effort to hide your email address from spam robots as good as possible. We also recommend to use a different email address for your imprint than for your daily correspondence. That way you can easily exchange the email address from your imprint, if it gets too much spam anyway. An example: info@yourCompanyName.com gets too much spam. Delete this address and get a new one, like imprint@yourCompanyName.com.

Useful hints

These hints certainly apply to your own website as well.

• Please do not provide your email address in the description fields of your ads. That way, your address is visible as plain html and will be found by spam robots easily.
• If you have no choice but to give your email address in plain html texts, please substitute the @ e.g. by at. This simple trick is surprisingly effective.
• Please use an email address for your imprint, which you can easily exchange without having to notify everyone you know.

All ads you can buy here provide the possibility to exchange properties as often as you like. You can change the address, images, texts, characteristics and even the property category. If for instance a property is sold before the ad runs out, you can simply publish another property using the same ad to use the remaining time of the ad efficiently.

To exchange a property, please click on Manage Advertisements in the user area and then on the 'edit Advertisement' button right next to your ad.
