Free Classifieds Websites

    Hi,

    I hope this is the right place to post this.
    I already have a steadily growing free local classifieds site.
    There are so many free classified sites on the net. Both local and global ones. Apart from the super popular ones (like Craiglist, Backpage) there are sites that get hundred thousands of visitors.

    For eg:
    USA: classifiedads.com, oodle.com, yakaz.com, recycler.com, geebo.com
    UK: gumtree.com; pistonheads.com; vivastreet.co.uk; freeads.co.uk; loot.com
    India: quikr.com; click.in; indialist.com; khojle.in, magicbricks.com

    All of them provide the same service. Site functions, how they work, they are almost same.

    So my question is how did they get to be so popular when they provide same service? Lets take India for eg, above mentioned Indian sites may not be "equally" popular but they still get huge amount of visitors judging by the alexa rank.

    Was it their advertising?
    Did they get any funding?
    Am I missing some unique feature on each of those sites?

    Is there anyone who can shed some light on this?

    Thanks

    Providing the same service is all around us. Here in California we have 20 different big name grocery stores and many smaller ones. But I think it has to do with the advertising. It's hard to start one of those sites unless it's a niche or if you have a big community and just expand from there.
