              "The site is free and without advertising (with the exception of help-wanted ads in three markets), and it gets more than 3 billion page views per month (10 million actual users a month), ranking it seventh on the Net, not so far behind Google and eBay."

              WOW!!

                          Its all text, so its probably not too bad on the BW.

                                  I agree, but when it's free you wonder. Then I read that he charges in three markets and makes 20 million a year off of those. He makes some good cash on this project.

                                      Yep, however he has a full time staff of 20 and is in San Francisco. I would assume it's not cheap on rent and staff there...

                                          Ouch, I'll admit, I didn't read past the first page. There was too much and it's 930a here. : )

                                          I'm still guessing he does okay for himself for running virtually a free site.
