Growth of Free-Ad Classifieds Sites
Posted by Steve Outing 2:06 PM
My E-Media Tidbits colleague Peter M. Zollman's paid newsletter, Classified Intelligence Report, is keeping tabs on the free-classifieds trend. The current issue, released today, contained an interesting little chart listing the key players in the space. Here they are, ranked by number of cities covered:
  1. Kijiji: 329 cities
  2. Craigslist: 204 cities
  3. Oodle: 102 citites
  4. Cityopoly: 66 cities
  5. Gumtree: 46 cities
  6. Backpage: 37 cities
  7. MetroMojo: 13 cities
  8. Recycler: 13 cities
How many of these are operating in your community? If Craigslist is operating in your back yard, you're probably paying attention. Are you watching the others?
