This can be done in Classipress by adding a custom field for the url. Another way, is to enable HTML in the description field so that users directly post a live link.
- Can ad posters include a live link in their ad and if so how is this achieved? I think you can also create a new field for a website but will the website address be clickable?
There is no admin option on this currently but can be implemented through custom coding by way of modifying some theme files. Implementation is just dependent upon your coding skills or you can avail the services of experienced coder to do it for you. Appthemes also have certified partners

- I understand that you can choose to send users a confirmation email when their ad is approved. Is it possible to edit the email text and does can you include HTML in the body of the email?
Currently, confirmed paid ads are immediately approved for posting. The same with the above this can be implemented through custom coding.
- I need to be able to approved all ads before they are posted. By selecting New Ad Status:Pending Review, will all ads have to be approved even when payment has been made?
