-Why is this service free?<\/strong>
\nShopsofmalta.com was created in 2006 as a school development project by a young team of individuals. As time passed, our team’s knowledge and experience grew and through the success of Shopsofmalta.com the team individually gained high positioned professional careers within the IT sector in Malta and even abroad. Since Shopsofmalta.com was the mother project that launched the team’s careers, the team felt it essential to keep this alive and so a decision was taken to keep on developing Shopsofmalta.com from being a simple link directory to a fully grown website. In 2010 we launched a ‘Do It Yourself’ approach, thus lessening the amount of work involved from our behalf to keep the web site active, cost effective yet still challenging to the team. Since Shopsofmalta.com gave a lot to the team, in return the team keep it alive with a target to see it grow into one of the leading FREE advertising portals on the Maltese islands. Now in 2020, due to the Covid19 situation we have found enough time to redesign and reintroduce it better than ever, upgrading its servers and functionality bringing to up to date for you to enjoy. Of course, if you wish to help us then feel free to place a link back to http:\/\/www.shopsofmalta.com on your websites at your own will. In turn this will help us help you too!<\/p>\n

-What if I find a listing that is no longer valid or that promotes an ‘illegal’ business?<\/strong>
\nSince we manually process each listing before it appears and receive reports on any update to listings, this should not occur. However, if this does somehow bypass our system and you happen to notice it, please report it to us straight away and we will take the necessary action to delete the listing. To report such links Click Here. We do not and will not tolerate illegal sites and should it be needed, we will forward these links to the authorities for further investigation.<\/p>\n

-The type of business category I own does not exist on your web site, does that mean that I can not list it?<\/strong>
\nYou may submit a New Category request from the Account Dashboard once you have Logged In into the member’s area. First you must Register in order to Log In. In the meantime, you may still submit a listing to a category that is closest to the products or service you sell. You will be able to change the category once we have revised your New Category request and should this be approved we will add it to the list of categories already available on the website.<\/p>\n

I still can’t believe this is Free, is there a catch?<\/strong>

I have a question that is not listed here can I contact you?<\/strong>
