What do you do, when you want to buy a second hand bike ? or to sell your old car ? or to find a best Financial Consultant in the town ? You, obviously go behind daily News papers for classifieds sections right. What if those classifieds ads are available online for Free ? Yeah, thanks to internet penetration, classifieds are just a mouse reach.
Have you ever been to US ? If so, then you might have heard about classifieds portals there. Craiglist, the ancestor of all classifieds sites, is the most popular in US. People flock the site for buying, selling, renting, leasing the most essential items (from bikes to girls). Online Classifieds culture is slowly spreading its wing in India as well. With these sites, people have found the laziest and the quickest ways of reaching their needs. There are many online classifieds portals, but only few are professional and really useful. Usually these portals are measured by user traffic, items catered, ease of use, locality (in no particular order). Lets have a look at some of the Best Online Classifieds sites in India
1. OLX.in
OLX.in is not from an Indian Company, but leading the Indian Classifieds space. OLX is a modern avatar of Classifieds. Fabrice Grinda and Alec Oxenford founded OLX because they wanted to improve on the offerings of Craigslist. They found that people were frustrated that you could not search at a global level, embed videos, and post in different languages. Coming to India version, OLX.in, is much better than other Indian Classifieds in ease of use. Its web design is clean and truly web 2.0. It offers classifieds services in much more Indian cities than otehrs. Also, OLX.in has a Facebook application and a mobile version of its site too — m.olx.in.
2. Quikr
Quikr was formerly called as kijiji.in. The Re-branding happened recently to give more focus on India. Quikr is backed by Matrix Partners India, Omidyar Network and invested in by eBay Inc. The site design is simple and has good number of Ads on various categories. These guys are on twitter (@quikr) and facebook as well. One unique point about this Classified site is, it is trying to form communities and has a discussion group. So, its kind of social networking on classifieds. This site is getting good traction and hope we will see much more offerings from them.
