It seem like there is a good market for online classifieds here in the north.
First there was YkTrader, the online classified site with all that and more. YkTrader after years of hard work is now the leader and I don’t see it failing anytime soon.
Up next we saw a glimpse of what could have been something better. Craigslist added a section for the north, but I don’t think it will do well. I don’t think it does anything actually and I don’t think it ever will. You see no one knows how to find it. The section for the north is listed as Territories under Canadian Cities. Which makes no sense what so ever. Although if you want to check it out the link is here.
Northern News Service was our current runner up here. I guessing after finally catching on that YkTrader was successful they took it upon themselves to open up their Online classified. So now instead of having to go to their office you can post your items online and have them not only show up online but in the paper as well if you choose. This new service of theirs is slowly growing and with the fact people still like advertising in the paper works to their advantage considering this is another way for it to happen.
Our finally and newest competitor is ykclassifieds.com. This new site is much like Craigslist or Kijiji as it is simple and straightforward. It will be going against YkTrader as it is solely an online classified site and that is what will survive on. There are many things that this site will have to overcome before it can compete at the same level as YkTrader.
As I don’t want to make this post too long I will not review YkClassifieds at this time but will in the next couple days.
