Review of free classifieds sites

Classified Car Search Engine

2012-01-22T19:17:00.000-08:00

It can be time consuming to find the exact car you’re looking for on Craigslist or other classified sites, especially if you want the very best deal in your area or a very specific type of car (Model X with moonroof, manual transmission, and less than 60,000 miles for example). Savvy consumers have generally needed to check multiple cities for a few weeks to make sure they are getting the best deal possible.

Carsabi.com and other classified aggregators are changing this. Carsabi creates an easy to use car search engine where the customer inputs desired car model, price range, and any other options along with location. The engine then returns all cars within the search criteria near the user (or nationally if the distance filter is set high) with links to the original listings. Users can view basic information such as price, mileage, VIN, and transmission along with a few photos for any search result before going to the original car advertisement – many individuals use this feature to quickly get a sense for the national market before trying to find a good deal in their own city.

The site is fairly new, and while it appears to only present Craigslist outside California at the moment it has a clean interface and quick response time – applying new filters immediately changes the returned car listings in a similar fashion to Google Instant. The site also has plans to include optionally search all dealerships nationally in the next few months.

In brief, if you’re trying to find a rare car, save money, or just get to your next automotive purchase as quickly as possible you might give Carsabi.com a visit – its clearly a new entrant into the online automotive space but addresses a significant need in quickly browsing private car listings. A few site screen shots are included below:

Sell Your Stuff Online with 123Exchanges.com

2011-05-04T02:53:00.000-07:00

Junk traders, sellers, and lovers, have I got a great piece of news that will delight you! 123exchanges.com is the latest and one of the coolest market place for anyone to sell and buy second hand stuff. Sellers or buyers can take their pick from the various categories available: cars/auto parts, furniture/appliances, clothing/accessories/ jewelleries, electronics/cell phones and much more. Simply put, 123exchanges is a classified advertisement site that connects buyers and sellers through video.

123exchanges works by starting the process of selling or buying in three easy steps. For sellers, you could start selling your second hand stuff on 123exchanges by following their three simple steps: record your product, list the product, and sell the product. By recording your product, it actually means that you’re supposed to make videos that advertise your products. You should also list the product so that it would be easier for buyers to search for it under the categorized list. Failure to do so will result in a lesser number of people who will stumble upon your item.

For buyers, they could respond to any videos they’re interested in by searching for the specific items under the listed categories, watch the videos when they’ve found it, contact the seller immediately, and finally reach an agreement with the seller and do some transaction. A buyer second option is to exchange something else for the product that they’re interested in by contacting the seller about your exchange offer, reach an agreement together, and finally do some exchanging (in this case, ‘exchange’ refers to the process of trading a product for a product between the buyer and the seller upon mutual agreement).

Selling your second hand stuff by using a video online will definitely earn you more buyers and profits. Since people are more lured into something that is visual which they could see with their own eyes, having a video will make people more interested in clicking and viewing the items sold. More successes can be easily achieved with videos, case in point? It’d be YouTube. Also, by advertising your products with videos, you’ll give the potential buyers a better preview of the items. With 123 Exchange video advertising, you’ll save more on time and cost.

Kijiji USA is now eBay Classifieds

2010-04-10T20:50:00.000-07:00

Kijiji was the second most popular free online classified ad listing website of the USA. Kijiji was acquired by the auction monster eBay years back. Now eBay willing to use their popular brand name to make their free classified site more popular has changed name of their free classified site. Kijiji USA is now named as eBay Classifieds. Note the incorporation of their brand name eBay into their classified site. Kijiji was a foreign language word which means village. US english speaking people was never familiar with this word. I guess this has made eBay to change the name to a more English familiar name.

eBay is already in legal feud with their mighty rival Craigslist. The main difference between two sites is that craigslist supports HtML ads while eBay Classifieds (formerly kijiji.com) is plain text based. Since the ads are plain text kijiji is much more spam free than craigslist.

The new eBay Classifieds has introduced a nice iPhone app found here http://bit.ly/ebcapp

If You Liked Kijiji, You’re Going to Love eBay Classifieds. It's more family friendly and controls spamming very strictly.

Although kijij is a worldwide network available in some other countries like Canada, Japan, Italy for the time being only Kijiji USA has been changed.

WorkRiver - the most basic classifieds website

2009-12-23T07:11:00.000-08:00

WorkRiver.com is about the most basic classifieds website that one would find online that would still be considered a gem. It does support some advanced options, like keeping all of your information private and allowing you to upload images.

What is basic about it is that it does not require you to create an account, or log in, etc. It has a basic validation schema and many of the ads are hand processed to stop the spammers. Perhaps the main disadvantage to the site is that the validation process for responding to an ad is not very strong, so a user could potentially receive 100 emails about an advertisment that they posted, and continue to receive more until they delete their ad. This and other features are currently being changed on the site, and it will remain free even after those issues go away. For now, there is always the luxury of creating an ad, and deleting it when you are finished with it. For store advertisers or those who would advertise something that does not need a electronic address, its a perfect venue: You post one advertisment, and it stays up forever. It would not remain on the front page obviously if others keep posting, but it could be searched for by city, category, or other searches. A massive good note about this page is that users can make their ads as long as they want. It does not clutter the search pages, because only a few lines and (optionally) an image shows up, with a link to the full advertisment and options for contacting the ad placer (those options are selected at ad placement).

If you are looking for a place to post an ad in less than five minutes, that is most definitely WorkRiver.com! Try WorkRiver free classifieds now to buy or sell your products or to promote your service.

Buy and sell your used stuff on BuyMyStuff

2009-12-19T21:00:00.000-08:00

Most free online classified sites force you to re-post and re-post over and over again. This is not the case with BuyMyStuff.com. The idea here is that you compile your list of items for sale, and post them once. Then, interested buyers can search the entire database using their location and keyword relevance to filter and sort appropriately.

If you are looking to buy used items, you simply enter your country and postal code, and you will be shown a map to confirm your location. If incorrect, you can create an account with your exact address, which will improve the accuracy.

Once your location is selected, all items for sale are sorted and listed based on their distance from you. That way, you can easily decide whether it is worth contacting the seller, based on the distance you would need to travel to pick up the item, or whether is could be sent via post.

This is very different from other online classifieds sites, like Kijiji or Craigslist. Those services require that you post items in one specific top-level category, like furniture, electronics, or merchandise, instead of searching by keyword. They also typically delete your ad after a number of days, requiring you to repost the items frequently. Often people will not bother to repost their merchandise, so it sits in their garage or basement until they finally remember again.

BuyMyStuff.com is unique improvement on the typical classified ads websites, helping connect buyers and sellers faster and easier than the traditional "for sale" sites.

NeedCube is turning the search process upside down

2009-12-07T06:31:00.000-08:00

NeedCube is a new startup with a pretty unique approach. Its goal is to serve people's needs. It is focusing on the demand side primarily and not the supply. The concept of the site doesn't match exactly with free classified sites but the ultimate goal is same: meeting sellers with buyers. In that sense it may be called a modified version of online free classifieds with a unique concept.

There are two ways to use NeedCube concept:

"What are you looking for / what do you need?"
NeedCube is a unified place where people can specify all their needs, no matter what the category is. The old concept to use categories is quite annoying because one has to go to many different sites to register and specify one's needs. NeedCube is not using categories at all. NeedCube asks only 5 basic questions: what, when, where, how many, for how much...
This is all one has to answer. NeedCube's proprietary search engine indexes the relevant keywords and makes it easy to find for others. One can add as many needs as one wants.

One can specify any kind of needs, such as: buying a new car, renting a condo, buying a flat, looking for a service like english teaching, or looking for a maid, or finding a new love, etc.

Because there are no categories in here, one can answer the "What?" question with anything and the search engine will index it and can be searched for.

"Find people who need your stuff!"
If one has something to sell, search the NeedCube database with the relevant keyword(s) to see if anyone needs what one has to offer. If there is no match, one can subscribe to keyword notification and get immediate alert as soon as someone registers a new need containing the given keyword(s). This way sellers can be immediately notified about new needs as they arise. People's needs will be found and no more time consuming search activity is neccessary on their side.

No more hassle with categories, no more dozens of registration to different sites serving various categories. NeedCube is the unified place to upload any needs of yours.

Only answer the 5 basic questions and you are all set.

Few reasons to post ads on BackPage

2009-05-05T08:33:00.000-07:00

Many many times my clients ask me, "Is it profitable to post ads on backpage?" I simply answer, "Profit can't be guaranteed as it depends on a lot of factors but I storongly suggest to post ads on Backpage".

Let me explain why I prefer backpage free classifieds. Following is a comparison of craigslist vs backpage:

Except craigslist, BackPage is the only online classified site which allows a lot of HTML elements into body of the ads. This gives you freedom to design the ads as per your need. Craigslist recently limited used of most of the advance MTML elements. So backpage is now unbeaten in this regard.
Backpage allows reposting when the ads expire but craigslist doesn't.
Backpage receives good amount of traffic making ad posting viable. Alexa ranking of backpage is going up day by day.
Unlike CL, flagging and ghosting shouldn't be a problem on backpage unless you really spam a lot.
It is possible to post the ads with hyperlink. On craiglist it's parctically impossible.
No phone verified account is required. Phone verification is a breach of your privacy. This is a big problem of posting ads on craigslist.
Most importantly, nationwide sponsor ad feature makes backpage really useful. If you are trying to promote a home businessess (obviously legitimate) opportunity then nationwide sponsor ad is the best option for you.
You can post keyword rich ads to get SEO benefit. Pages of backpage get very good position on search engines results page.
Finally, if you are succesful in posting ads on craigslsit, you should still consider backpage to increase your revenue further.

iList a popular social free classifieds

2009-03-24T02:15:00.000-07:00

Previously I wrote about two other social classifieds namely: Jihoy and Eesy Cheesy . Jihoy has been able to gain good popularity in the USA and some other countries but Eesy Cheesy couldn't get any significat volume of traffic. Today I want to introduce iList.com, a very popular social classifieds having at around 40k position on Alexa ranking. iList is more robust than those two sites. iList.com has a lot of features. iList can circulate your posting through other social networks like FaceBook, twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed. iList also can notify your address book contacts of Gmail, yahoo or HotMail.

To reduce fraudulent activities and spamming, iList requires phone verification while registering. So you can confidently deals with other members of this community. You can make friends on iList since it's a social network as well. The more friends you have the more visibily your ads will get. iList.com has online messaging system as well.

iList has a nice flash widget in it's Tools & Widgets section. You can put the listings of iList on your blog or site to enrich your site. Other classifieds put your data in a closed locked database and you’re banned if you try to scrape it. At iList, you can retrive your data using some handy APIs found in the iList Developer’s API section.

Today I have signed up on iList. Here is my profile on iList.com.
