I received this article from Peter of www.mykidscloset.com and it mentioned that online classified advertising use is up — substantially. Frankly speaking, I am not surprised as many people around the globe are becoming familiar with the Internet. So what is the biggest draw to classified ad sites? It is something that everyone can afford — they are FREE. The vast majority of them offer free classified ads. The biggest player in the classified ad space is the venerable Craigslist. Here is their staggering traffic numbers for last month via compete.com — 53 million unique visits and 447 million total visits.
Where does this leave print ads, especially newspapers?
At any rate, here is the article by Pew Internet: classified ad use is up.
