It should be noted that the reader should already be aware of how to create a Park for Sale Ad from within their Dashboard. To learn more about creating a Park for Sale Ad please see the article titled Creating A Park for Sale Ad.

Overview 

MHParks.com offers two methods to publish your Park for Sale Ad. You can choose to publish the advertisement immediately while you are creating it, or save the advertisement, and publish it at a later date directly from your list of Parks for Sale Ads.. While your advertisement is published to the public, MHParks.com also ensures that the Park Information you enter in your advertisement is protected as other members interact with the Park Sites and My Parks modules. This is accomplished by prohibiting other members, including claimholders, from editing the Park Information, specific to your advertised park in those modules. Once you publish your advertisement, only you will be able to edit the Park Information from within your parks advertisement by pausing your ad, making your edits, and then continuing your ad using the Actions menu. 

When you publish your advertisement, you will be offered the option to either upgrade your advertisement to a Premium Ad, or simply publish it as a Basic Ad. By upgrading your advertisement to a Premium Ad, you bring more attention to your park's advertisement by displaying the green Featured banner wherever the advertisement is being displayed on MHParks.com. Advertisements with the Featured banner are positioned ahead of Basic Ads on the Parks for Sale page. As an added bonus, Premium Ads are also displayed on the MHParks.com homepage, at random, in the Featured Parks for Sale section. Advertisements using the Basic Ad option are only displayed on the Parks for Sale page. 

When you publish your park's advertisement for the first time, your publishing period last for 35 days. Both the Start Date and End Date, of your publishing period, is displayed for each published park ad in your Parks for Sale Ads list. During the first 5 days, Premium Members will have exclusive access to view the ad, by clicking its link in the Park for Sale email notification which is sent out for each park advertisement. On day 6, all Basic members will receive a Park for Sale email notification about your advertisement. Your advertisement will also start displaying on the public webpages, of MHParks.com, in its appropriate locations. You will be notified via email when your publishing period ends, so that you can also republish your advertisement. 

When you republish your park's advertisement, your published advertisement will run for 30 days and immediately start to display on the public webpages, of MHParks.com, in the appropriate locations. Any time you wish to edit your advertisement, while it is published or republished, you may do so by clicking Pause in your ad's Actions menu, make the appropriate edits to any part of ad, and then clicking Continue in the Actions menu to have it start displaying with the updated information.

Note - After you have published your advertisement, clicking Pause in your ad's Action menu, to make edits to the ad, will stop it from displaying to others until you click Continue in the ad's Action menu.
Warning - No credit will be issued back to any users that fail to continue running their advertisement after they have have paused the advertisement.
Warning- MHParks.com reserves the right to Suspend any advertisement that has the appearance of impropriety. If an advertisement is suspended there will be no financial credit given for the time it remains suspended.
