Kijiji Proxy

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Ads not showing up on Kijiji? Usually there is one main reason for this and that is why you more than likely will need a Kijiji proxy to get your ads showing. Kijiji has a different website, one for each country. You must live in the country you want to put an ad on, otherwise you simply will not be able to post classified advertisements. Kijiji utilizes this as a way to control spam. What would make people want to post advertisements on countries they don’t live in? The main reason stems from the amount of traffic some countries generate compared to others, such as China vs the USA. Posting with a proxy will help you bypass this problem. However, not just any proxy will work. The reason why free proxies usually fail is because Kijiji knows about these kinds of proxies. By simply filtering out ads coming from these free proxies, unwanted ads are automatically removed. This isn’t the only problem with free proxies. Another problem stems from just how slow and painful they can be to use sometimes. Most people aren’t prepared to spend money on a proxy and therefore are always on the lookout for ones that are free. Web browsing can typically be very, very slow. So, if you are serious about putting advertisements on Kijiji do some homework on about getting a a Kijiji proxy which only you can use.
