WHY WAS THE SISTER SITE FROZEN?

WHY WAS THE SISTER SITE FROZEN?

I was about to ask the same question.
.NET

Answer: insufficient return on effort. However, this thread is about Google Trader Nigeria.

Google seems to want to be everywhere, I was taken aback as to why they want to start Google Trader Nigeria. I wont be surprised if one day, they signify intention to compete with Nairaland with Google Nigeria Forum or better still buy Nairaland

Seun, Can you please explain how the google Trader Nigeria works and how subscribers can take advantage of

nairaland doesnt even have up to a million members yet so i can assure you they wont be buying anytime soon

Seun, what happened to Nairalist now? We need it back or sell it to me,

I just checked Google trader out and it seems pretty cool and simple to use. I like the way google is taking Nigeria serious. Paypal should take note. Google anyi na ekele gi.

Jst browsed d site& am not impressed.Nairalist had a better layout.
Seun what do u mean little return on effort?U cud av trudgered on bc Nlist was doing quite fine,it was d best trading site & wud av returned enough effort if u had d patience

Looks cool but with slow internet connectivity and low desktop internet usage the audience may not be there yet.  A mobile version will be required to reach more people, since more Nigerians connect to the internet via mobile devices

I wont be surprised when Google Trader start to display 'google adsense'

Mark my words.

Seun do you want to take Nairalist offline? I truly believe that would be a very big mistake. You do realise that Rome was not built in one day. I think you should exercise some patience and eventually Nairalist would become profitable

Good things are coming to Naija

sombody shud hit me up wit this site. Google wud one day conduct elections 4 our majorely I.T ignorant populace. The way they keep going. Anyway,no comments

I'm surprised you refer to Nairalist as Frozen. @Seun what really happened?

Isn't that a good thing . .  .Atleast what we have been dreaming of/hmmmmm ??/

Seun,
If you really want to win the battle . .just accept any good offer from any firm to own your website (Nairalist) . .Believe me this is what you should have done way long. Or you re probably going to . . . .

It looks like a Dealfish clone. Hahaha.

I'll be watching from the sidelines for now.

Its going to be a heaven for car thieves. No VIN required.

The site looks too simple for my liking. Dont know whether or not that is a good thing. My homepage is google.com and as I launched my browser I saw it on their site. Didnt take it seriously until i came to nairaland (first site I always visit when online), and saw the homepage. These google guys, hmm, I wont say what is on my mind.

That's google watch word. Simplicty is the way to go. It makes the website easily navigable and generally easy to use.

This is a step in the right direction for Nigeria, Tradestable owners, SCM Ventures AB owns fleet of websites/companies of such not limited to blocket.se, the one stop shop for getting stuffs online in Sweden in those days, competing with dealfish, google trader and some others booting to launch, will be interesting to see how events unfold.

Seun, must have checked the books and concluded its best to pivot per nairalist.

With the way these google peeps are going, they might soon take over all the businesses in this country. Afraid dey catch me o.
First, it was GNBO, now Google Trader, who knows what's next? Maybe, they'll soon be conducting elections for us.

.NET

The Market is saturated. For those who think Google is eating young Entrepreneurs' lunch tell the young guys to go start something innovative. Google seem to be interested in the easy to do, proven model. Let's go solve our problem and monetize it. We can give Google a run for its money like they did in China.

So does this thread mean we are being advised to forget about Nairalist ever coming up again?

I love the simplicity! I think it's a good thing that they're offering such service to naija, Hope paypal and other company would take us serious. They're not sucking out young business for God sake, internet business is all about risk and investment, if google could invest $30million on a website, then nairaland that invested $1000 should not try to compete with them, because it's definitely a no win game, and by the way for those complaining about google owing much property, it might be of relief for you to know that www.google.com.ng is being monitored by an anonymous Nigeria company owned by a Nigerian based in the ireland.

Google trader will definitely seize a sizable amount of traffic from all already existing classified listing websites including dealfish

This is good,

shit,

google is crazy why competing with nigerian classifieds, I hope they shut down sooner than later,

google trader is going to kill dealfish, and tradestable if care is not taken, it is soooo easy to use,

There's enough room for everyone.The site is pretty simple but they need to take a cue from dealfish because the information being posted by the advertiser is not explicit enough.

Oh,nairalist
