Kugli.com Classified Ads - now online

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Yes, we are online but still in beta… Kugli.com, the free global and local classifieds website opened last week and we are now officially accepting classified ads for local communities.

There are already plenty of classified ads posted by visitors, what I like a lot is the extremely easy ad posting form, thanks to Ajax. There is no need for users to register, they can simply use a form to publish their ads. The biggest challenge so far is convincing users to post their ads, until the site looks empty very few persons will actually spend time to post an ad. But I am confident that in a few months my biggest challenge will be spam and scam fighting… although I already embedded some techniques to detect and eliminitate scam and spam, however nothing can be perfect.

What other features am I going to integrate? Just to mention the 2 most important things:

  • member registration, login and ad tracking
  • multilingual support.

Also, I have some other plans for marketing, but I will write about this sometime later.

Do you like Kugli.com? We welcome your links from your website and any suggestion.
