from:Deb St. George, Publisher, GettingToSuccess.com
You may be wondering why you should even consider using Craigslist to post your classified ads promoting your website and products. If you’re already using other classified advertising sites and using other types of display advertising, what does Craigslist have to offer that you don’t already utilize?
Maybe it’s time for you to take a look at how Craigslist has evolved and how effective it has become for online businesses and websites. Although it started over 10 years ago as a small community website, it is now a national site with a household name. Craigslist has also branched out into other countries to expand the reach of its advertisers and consumers.
Craig Newmark started Craigslist as a hobby to make it easier for people within a small community to connect online. The rest is history as Craigslist is now the largest, most highly recognized classified advertising site in the United States.
