See winners party

Posted in Uncategorized at July 8th, 2005 / 1 Comment »

party kijiji montreal

Craigslist Montreal is loosing every week, kijiji is winning every week, strenghtening its quickly reached position as market leader. French seems to be the key. Why Craig isn’t providing different language versions, nobody knows (he keeps announcing an french version for Paris, but nothing happened since two months). For the kijiji’s thats enough good news to party, as these pictures show

Quoka?

quoka

Hallo,

wie wärs mit der Beobachtung der Zahlen vom Kleinanzeigenmarkt Quoka.de. Das wär doch mal interessant, oder.
die sind wenigstens nicht im kijiji-Netzwerk, wie die anderen…

vielleicht ist das ja was, wenn die anderen schon alle wegfallen!

Viele Grüße

Christoph

Danke für Deine Anregung, Christoph. Das Problem mit Quoka ist nur, dass ein anderes Konzept als das “Craig’sche” zugrunde liegt: Keine ordentlichen Themenkategorien (eine lokale Abfrage für Berlin wäre äußerst zeitaufwändig) UND das ganze ist NICHT kostenlos. Von daher passt uns? mir quoka nicht so ganz.

Außerdem ist das Volumen mit derzeit 239 Anzeigen insgesamt für Berlin doch eher niedrig. Da ist sogar bei vivastreet Berlin mehr los…

Aber Du scheinst quoka zu nutzen. Würde mich sehr interessieren, was Dich an dem Konzept überzeugt. Schreib mal!

Phil

opusforum logo kijiji

Well, this is it. No competitors left on German Classified Market. Opusforum, Germany’s homegrown classified Number 1 was bought by eBay. Kijiji is movin’ the monopoly-eBay-way further and further. Thats why I provide you today with a brandnew sarcastic statistic service - “Countries, that don’t belong to the kijiji-empire”:

* FRANCE!!! (keep spirit, vivastreaties!)
* US of A!!! (Craig, 25% is enough!)
* South-America, Africa, Some parts of Asia, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe

(please correct me, if incorrect)

Not too many moves this week. kijiji Tokio is heading its way up to the top, now arriving number 2 in total ranking. Vivastreet Paris lost a little after last weeks hype, but still fighting for the Paris crown. 2 categories, community and housing are already lost to kijiji, but 4 categories remain, including the strong marketplace category with firstly more than 10.000 listings! Thats a big bunch! Only Craiglist Sanfran is doing better… ten times to be honest. The place where it all began is showing a big performance on the lisiting rankings, but nearly no growth at all (4% since April). San Fran’s Craiglist seems to finally be at the level, that an free-ad site is able to reach.

Viva!Street

Posted in Uncategorized at June 17th, 2005 / No Comments »

Woooosh. Three big time winners this week, but only two of them are kijijis! Vivastreet Paris is back with the biggest jump in Hitlist history from 13th to 2nd place in total rankings. Why? Last month’s listing disaster is now turning into a growth opportunity. But PARIS is the classifieds city anyway this week. kijiji and vivastreet broke the asian dominance of the last weeks…

Asian dominance remains strong this week. Now Tokio is becoming the newest powerhouse of kijiji growth factory. Have a look at Craigslist San Francisco also, the biggest communtiy on earth but no growth at all. That shows that there is an end to every classified site.

Big in Shanghai

Posted in Uncategorized at June 3rd, 2005 / No Comments »

Asia is coming! This week kijiji Shanghai was catapulted from fifth to first rank in the total listings. Why? A whole lot of listings already (after three months of existence) and a huge growth on this big level. But growing seems to be an asian thing anyways. kijiji Taipei is growing wildly now in the last few weeks. After those sleepy first two months, taiwan seems to wake up. They do even advertise the site with banner ads. And first of all, growing seems to be an kijiji thing. Look at the growth table: from rank 1 to rank 7, only kijiji sites. Theres no other site no where on earth, with is growing faster… My my, where is this heading to?
