Is Craigslist or Kijiji a viable place to do business on the net or are their other sources that will give me better results?

If you post on Craiglist you want to post in the services section under small biz ads - or you will get flagged.
I don't know much about Kijiji but someone else might come around and give you some advice on that.

I have used both, Craigslist and Kijiji. With Kijiji , you cannot link your site

What about sites like backpage. Someone told me it works as not many people market products heavy there.

I found that on CL that Business for sale is the best place to get quality leads but it also is the best place to get your ads flagged. I have been trying small biz ads section and it seems to be very low amount of hits on my ads. Very few leads.
And if you post in a major city, your ad will be buried within 6-8 hours by new posts. But nothing beats free leads, so I think it is worth the effort sometimes.

I'm trying to understand the Craiglist rules. So if i post in cleveland, i cant post in any other geographical city? Is that right? Or can I wait 24 hrs and post somewhere else?

You can post in several cities in one day - just mix up the wording of your ad a little and make sure you post in the 'services' section and then under 'small biz ads'...
I posted, like, seven ads one day - different ads in different cities but that day they got flagged so now I only place about 2 - 3 a day - a couple times a week - but then that may have only been a freak day!

The thing with Craigslist is that they've made a very strong push to eliminate the SPAMMING that was going on. They have bots that search through posts and look for keywords. They also have the ability to track you IP address and block anything posted from a particular IP address. There are of course ways around this which can help you get great leads. I post in pretty much any section I want for the most part and rarely get flagged. "Ghosting" (where your ad says it posts but never shows up) is also a huge problem because you think all your efforts are paying off, but no one see's your site.
Some quick tips.
1. NEVER USE A LINK.(or only use it very rarely) – This will help reduce the amount of post that get flagged.
2. A picture is worth a thousand words – create picture with text in them. The "bots" that read ads can't read text in pictures.
3. Multiple email addresses – I would stick to using something like live.com where you can forward as many accounts as you'd like. Every 3 days or so delete old ads and accounts.
4. DON'T SPAM- this is a big one. I would stick to around 3 post a day in 3 cities and no more.
5. Track your results – over time you can start to see what cities you can and can't post in.
There are ways to get CL to work for you.
Backpage is also awesome and a little more lenient...for how long though I don't know.
