Gumtree vs DealFish
PLEASE NOTE: DealFish changed their name to Kalahari Ads – http://www.kalahariads.net/
I recently had the opportunity to promote a new free classifieds web site as an affiliate. I must say that before the affiliate campaign was launched I did not even know about DealFish (the new site)
I nether understood why people rave about Gumtree and why Gumtree was the third busiest web site in South Africa. But they must be doing something right because everybody use them. Personally I do not like it at all.
So I am very happy that there is an alternative to Gumtree.
Both sites are rather easy to use and it is easy to register and place an ad.
On the searching and browsing side I prefer DealFish purely because they do not have all the Google Adsense ads between the real ads. I find the Google ads on Gumtree very confusing and I guess they do not mind that their users confuse the adsense ads with the actual listed ads. Each time when a user accidentally click on the Google ad instead of the real ad they get paid for it, so would it bother them? Read more »
