I prefer models like www.resumetrunk.com, simplyhired, indeed.com, etc. for real exposure. olx seems to be spammed by someone, so a large majority of jobs are from someone fishing for google dollars and you cannot apply for them.. kijijijijij or whatever it is called is also a waste, unless you need a waitress. why would you ever have a domain name that nobody can spell and remember easily? complete stupidity. olx is NOT worth the effort to post a job. been suckered in a few times. what a complete waste of time and effort.

Any site out there who created a better user interface as well as a better community user experience could cream a site like CL, all they need to do is slowly pull people away from CL and get them to use their site a few times until they see how much better it is. CL will lose it's community base slowly over time to several competitive websites, and with less users using it therefore reducing the community aspect that seems to entice users to CL, it will fade into the background inevitably. We're living in a time where technology rules and technology changes every day. A site which has taken a strong stance against 'keeping up with the times' and updating their site accordingly is only leaving themselves open to one inevitable conclusion: Going offline. Sure, Craiglist can update their site, 13 years later - they certainly have the money to do it. But then their users will be lost re-learning an application and it won't be "craigslist" anymore no matter what they do. So, they're screwed if they do, and screwed if they don't. Let’s be frank here: The only thing CL has going for it is that it was the first site of its kind and has been going for over a decade, it’s the most well known site in the western world, and has built up a “community” of loyal users who seem to look beyond the mish mash of unorganized text links strewn aimlessly through out the page.

They are suppoused to be linked in the same window's browser, replacing your site. I didn't want to use google ads in my blog just because don't want the people to leave my site by clicking an ad... Is there a way to do this without braking Google's conditions? I guess if you do it there must be a way. Would you share it please? Thanks! Johann Fabrice, how do you do to launch ads from google?
