with these ads.
Online Classifieds – History
Online classifieds has its embryo in USA in the 1990s and the period
when internet regime had begun becoming more notorious. The drive
behind this emanation was that regular offline classifieds were
anticipated to be cash cows for print publications all over the world, so it
was vigilant to prolong the concept extensive. The pioneers of
technology foresaw how advancements in information could bolster over
$100 billion classifieds industry and implied that the solution was to
create the online classifieds industry with prosperity distant beyond the
conventional classifieds. Monetization and revenue origination for the
players in this industry normally comes from online advertising, featured
listings, and value added services.
The father was Craig Newmark, who in 1995 created an email
distribution list with co-workers and friends to publicize events in the
San Francisco Bay Area. The subscriber numbers grew very fast
through word of mouth, and that is how it all began, with the Craigslist
becoming web based in 1996. Up to today, Craigslist remains the most
popular online classifieds website in the US. But in India, the world’s
second largest in population size, the most popular site is OLX. Want to

nearly by every household and millions of people end up getting married
through the matrimonial classifieds. Job listings make the other
popular online classified segment, with many people looking for jobs

popularity because people do hire private investigators to look into some
important matters. As is the education sector where many coaching
agencies have come up to help students get admission to their desired
colleges, and they advertise on these platforms.

classified will increase. According to an Edelweiss report the global
online classifieds segment stands at USD 10.5 billion, which translates
to 17% of global internet ad revenues. The size of India’s online
classified industry is about INR 11 billion and is expected to grow to
INR 31 billion by 2016.
The report also says that the growth potential in segments such as real
estate, cars and general classified is ripe to be captured. However, the

readiness of users. Further, the online classified industry in India has
grown through vertical sites in different segments unlike the US where
the biggest classifieds site is Craigslist, a horizontal portal. Some of the
Indian classified portals working in with a horizontal model are OLX.in,
Quickr.com and Clickindia.com.
