Craigslist – The greatest FREE Ad site ever

Craigslist – the greatest FREE ad site ever

Craigslist.org is without a doubt THE most popular of the FREE advertising websites in the world. I once heard said, “If Walmart doesn’t have it, it does not exist”. Well, I don’t know if that is true or not (most likely not) but, I do think that this statement could be true of Craigslist!

I started looking for an old board game on Craigslist one day and in doing so, came across some items I never knew existed in the world. I guess that’s why I think EVERYTHING is to be found on Craigslist.org. So, wondering how many hits Craigslist gets every day, I started doing some research (nothing else to do… get a life!!!) While searching for a way to find out how many hits Craigslist gets every day, I found a handy tool that spits out information on the ways people tried to search for Craigslist. I found some of the search variations VERY funny. So, I put SOME of them into this article for your amusement.

“craig list, classifieds, craigslist, craigslist, craglist, criaglist, craiglists, craigs, craig's, greg's list, craig's lists, www craigslists, craig list online, craigs lists, craig lists, gregslist, gregs list, housing, craiglist com, craig newmark, crags list, craigslist, cregslist, graiglist, www craiglist com, free advertising, craiglist.com, craiglist.org, crag's list”

Do you think ‘free advertising’ returned Craigslist.org?? Yep… top of the heap! That’s probably the smartest search of all! This is kind of fun! I think I’ll play with this some more.

I heard you! Yeah… I’ll get a life someday!
