It's taken us a while to differentiate between good and bad advice and we're still learning. It's been a joy to work with advisors who believe in the founding team and want to dive deep into the product evolution and customer evolution phases. One of my advisors recently locked in a beta customer for our next product. That's priceless, because it's a tangible result for the team. I appreciate the sincerity of your post.

Infact unlike the west, India is one of the few markets where print reach is increasing and currently far outweighs Internet. This will slowly change but till that happens we will need to be accessible via other means such as print / mobile etc. Your thoughts are right on the local & shelf life part. We will try and address this innovatively. Thanks a ton! We cannot ignore the offline segment in the classifieds space.

Would Quikr consider increasing it's readership/reach with a combination of online/offline readers? Circulation costs are probably a deterrent here. Apart from the local newspapers, I can't pick up a free copy of (just) local classifieds at my local kiranewala / pharmacy / thela's etc. It is hard to ignore the fact that the bulk of India does not have access to the Internet. Segments like "cars for sale", "homes for rent" are deeply local and can go a week before they go stale? - Santosh Hi Vijay, Thanks for stopping by!

Buying advertising only works in the short run but not in the long haul. Ironically there are so many basics to growing your natural traffic (as laid down by Google) yet many websites seem ignorant about them and tend to view the web like any other medium where money can buy you traffic/usage. But since you leave a trail on the Internet, your past usually helps you grow in the future, unlike any other medium. And that is the biggest contributor to your natural traffic growth.
