Kijiji.ca separates its classified ads by region, with a subdomain for every major city or region it services. Although Kijiji does not have the user base that Cragslist has, it is gaining ground.

 

The New York Times recently reported a story about Kijiji's attempt to take on Craigslist. Though Kijiji has some decent traction globally, it had been an unknown in the US. Is that about to change?

One factor in recent growth mentioned in the article was campaigns by eBay to inform users of Kijiji's presence. But what about the old tried and true - the organic search referrals that did so much to help Craigslist over the years? Kijiji would look pretty strong on this front, because we've noticed their prominent placement on many local search queries here in Canada, in spite of their strong competition from, among others, Craigslist and Livedeal.

 

When buying or selling, you should meet in-person to see the product and exchange funds. Kijiji is all about local transactions.
