Craigslist 4 Everyone
Craigslist.org is an online community originally founded in 1995 as a free online local classifieds website for San Francisco. It has now grown to include classifieds and forums for 450 cities worldwide. In August 2007, Craig Newmark announced Craigslist is now getting 8 billion page views a month in 50 countries and is visited every month by 30 million
people. Craigslist.org is currently ranked ninth in US sites and 39th worldwide. Craigslist's mission is to maintain a local focus and continues to be a leading website for local social networking. It includes local community classifieds and forums - a place to find jobs, housing, goods and services, social activities, a girlfriend or boyfriend, advice, community information, and just about anything else -- in most places all for free, and in a relatively non-commercial environment. For personal users, this book covers many of the features available - find housing and jobs, buy and sell merchandise, locate services, meet new people and find things to do. Business users will gain in-depth information about using Craigslist to sell products, promote businesses and services, generate leads and find employees and contractors. Craigslist 4 Everyone gives you information about posting strategies, response tactics and protecting yourself from scams. All levels of users will appreciate the history and overview and little known information about third party resource support and identity protection.
