there are much better sites to sulekha…web 2.0 is all about users, but sulekha took them users for granted and pumps out tons of ads on the face of user…crappiest site i ever visited
i like http://www.mouthshut.com, http://www.desihub.com etc. which are upcoming with better UI

I am surprised with this development. Sulekha has no value offering, and is a very poor quality site. I guess the VC are also getting pressurised now….

I agree with everyone that Sulekha isnt a user friendly site and not at all on the Web 2.0 platform. But at the same time they have their fingers in many pies and have recently made an ad network too which will server CPC ads across Sulekha’s online properties (and maybe have a publisher network too).

Yes Anil, it has its fingers in many pies but is that a good thing or a bad thing? I have followed this site for some time, they take initiatives and then dont execute properly to the extent that some of the initiatives die prematurely. They started a matrimonial service that lasted less than 6 months, very recently. Since there was some traction in real estate, they started a real estate website but I dont see anything happening there.
Anyway, maybe they needed money to pull all these stunts and maybe we see something worthwhile. All in all, its fuelling the online space.

Sulekha, should scrap their CPC network too and start adding adsense to get any revenue,
They should first do a R&D before launching any new products and sould do further research in their AD network

the site is terrible. Typical of desi websites where they dont respect the visitor. the site is mostly a clutter and you forget why landed on this page from the search engine results! that says it all.
