Well, if you have never been to Craigslist or you have been there and just didn’t stop to think about what the site is, I am going to tell you a little about it.
Basically it’s just a very popular classified site. They have classified ads for jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, gigs, and more. Under each category there are subcategories with just about anything you want or need. And if you can’t find what you are looking for you can always post in the “wanted” section so people can come to you if they have what you need. They also have discussion forums for many different topics.
There is nothing fancy or flashy about Craigslist. It’s just a basic looking site with a light grey background and links to its various sections. The site is very easy to navigate and find the section you want. You just click your state and/or city then go the ads for what you are looking for. If you are outside the U.S. you will have to choose your country first. And if you are in a large city you can choose your specific part of the city.
You’ll notice above I said it’s a “very popular” site. Well, just how popular? At the time of writing this it is the 40th most popular website in the world. Yes, that’s right, out of the millions upon millions of websites in the world there are only 39 more popular than Craigslist.
And it’s the 9th most popular website in the United States. How’s that for getting some major traffic?!
