You Ever Hear Of Kijiji? Sort Of But Better Than Craigs List, I Think


I clicked on a sponsored ad on the www.DIYchatroom looking for someone to Pay Top Dollar To Place An Ad In Your Local Newspaper.

It seemed unusual, so I checked out why they stated such a seemingly upside down marketing statement.

Here is one ad that I followed to, just to see what they were about:

Here is the start page for my area, for remodeling and repair:

Funny there's suddenly two ads for Kiji--whatever on this thread! are they listening?! or does CT have some kind of word matching software for the Ads?.......HUGE KNOCKERS!.....Hmmn, did'nt work!

Googls Ads pick up the content and places seemingly similar ads to the topic posted.
