eBay now owns 25% of craigslist.org

08-13-2004, 05:26 PM

It is rumored that eBay paid around $10 million for 25% of the company.

That would value craigslist around $40 million

Nice, but I wonder what eBay's influence will be on the site.

The price, thought by some analysts to be in the low tens of millions, would be pocket change for a huge company like eBay, which generated $773 million in revenue in the second quarter of this year.

that fucking site can be worth close to 100 mill.... no way.

You'd think for a $40 million dollar site, they wouldn't make it look like shit.

Craigslist already sells millions of dollars in ads per year, ONLY on the job listings for 3 cities. I saw an article that esimated they could sell $100 mil a year in ads if they wanted.

one change that just happened aug. 1st is now they charge $25 per job listing. i can see that site heading more towards a revenue generating machine. the traffic is there, now it's time to exploit it is what i'm sure their philosophy is.

a guy off this board, xenigo, introduced me to craigslist only a couple weeks ago - i had heard the name for years but never taken the time to look at the site cuz i knew it was a local thing - xenigo rented his condo off there. so i looked around the site, it's great. once again, like Google, the Hun, no fancy graphics or confusing interfaces - it means nothing to people, content and ease of use, the information and service you provide, means everything.

I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

That's funny - cause I introduced Xenigo to it

Now - you need to keep this going by introducing someone you know to it

NOTHING beats word of mouth advertising. ask some of the people who have famous porn sites how many 'free' signups they get a day. it's lots.
