Stupid ? just wondering ?

This has bugged me for a while and it came up again today! How does Craigslist make any money ? Who is this Craig guy ? Just wondering because it has got me a few guitar sales and pest control jobs for free. I like free, but would like to know how that site makes money ? No ads, no pop ups, no nothing ?

But if I'm not mistaken, Craigslist started out intended for San Francisco singles (mostly for gays), then it got popular and became what it is today.

I don't think they make much money off it, except for paid postings by big companies and I admire those guys for their work and dedication.

Thanks! By the way, I was not in the gay section "not that there is anything wrong with that " LOL! I guess some people are not so money hungry, but few and far between! Good for Craig. Thanks again!

You are welcome. I'm pretty open-minded so it doesn't really matter what you are or where you browse on that website

I heard E-bay owns it.
