|  Are the search engines the main source of traffic for Craigslist & USFreeAds?
Or are both like eBay and Amazon that attract its own traffic... WITHOUT relying *entirely* on the search engines (mainly, Google) to index its pages. Any idea? |

Hi, I would have to say that most of Craigslist's traffic is type-in... They do have many listings in the SE's I'm sure but type-in traffic mostly, for sure! Jamie |

Johnson good question and it would be great to know the answer as it would then make the decision to use such services easier.

I have no stats to back this up, but I would guess that at least 90% of Craigslist traffic is type in. People know what it is. I know a guy, he's in his late 70's, I had to teach him how to use email. I set up auctions on Ebay to help him sell his car. But he visits Craigslist everyday because he knows it's a good source for scrap metal or whatever the he's looking to buy cheap. Craigslist is a massive website with a massive user base. Sure, they get some traffic from Google, but I'd bet a good chunk of money that the majority of the traffic is local people buying and selling goods. Just my .02. -Scott |
