How does craigslist’s owner make money while there is no commercial ads on top of the pages?

by admin on July 20, 2009

This website has a very high daily preview and contains no commercial ad on it… then how does its owner make money out of it?

If you have ever uploaded a picture to Craig’s list, you will notice that extra pictures get added to www.craigspic.com. Go and click on an ad that lists extra pictures. Notice that you’re taken to craigspic.com and that Google Adsense ads are located on the page.

I don’t know if they have just created a higher purpose website and make money off of the craigspic.com or if there’s something else.

Its part of the job or employer section, which is only 25 a week, nationwide though. They do ok.

I heard that companies have to pay something like $10-$50 to advertise for hiring. That doesn’t seem to be a lot of money, but I guess if they have enough of these ads every day all over the country and world, they could make a lot.
