eBay’s New Classifieds Site


 

eBay recently launched a new classifieds site to go head-to-head with Craigslist. The new site is called Kijiji.

CORRECTION: The site has been around for awhile but the USA version is new.

This new site could turn out to be yet another great way to drive traffic to web sites that can find a way to creatively do it — i.e. within the rules without abusing the site.

Many have been able to drive a lot of leads and traffic from Craigslist but it’s often done by breaking their rules — which I don’t recommend.

Kijiji, like Craigslist, allows users to find or post listings based on location. So you’ll find listing sections for all the major cities in the USA.

Check it out and see if you can’t find some creative ways to generate some free leads for your business.

    John,

    Kijiji has been around for a while in Canada. I have been using it to find apartments all over Canada.

    I bet there is going to some interesting posts on how to use Kijiji for traffic generation.

    I had not heard about it, will have a look at it. I am not really into using these types of sites to get traffic, I am more into the good old fasion ways. Recently a lot of Squidoo pages have taken a fall in the google rankings. Many people I know have been talking about it. Thank god I didn’t invest too much time into anything like that.

    Keep up the good work! This blog is great!

    P.S. I am looking forward to TS 2.0

    Interesting. I hadn’t heard of kijiji before, but a quick search shows eBay bought it in 2005, I guess the U.S. site is new.

    eBay owns a pretty large stake in Craigslist as well.

    I have used kijiji extensively in the past, and the American version recently as well. The problem is that they seem to be getting more strict with business, especially anything home
    business related in order to post! I find craigslist much better for posting, although less effective
    for traffic.

    Pretty cool site. I’ve never heard of the site before. I’ll have to spend some
    time their.

    Interesting that Pensacola, Florida shows up on their site.
    Usually I can only find near by cities.

    Wow I have used kijiji and Craig’s list but did not know that Ebay owns Kijiji.

    I have used it a few times and have been wanting to try it out again. Thanks for the reminder!

    I think this might backfire if you’re not careful…

  23. Kelvin Marshall Says:

    It definitely depends on how you plan to eat. Are you gonna want to try a few of the well-known sit-down restaurants? If so, plan on that being expensive. Or are you content to eat at quick-service (burger, pizza, fries, etc…) kind of places? If so, those are cheaper, but you could still plan on at least $10 a person, unless your kids will be sharing meals.
