The Evansville site was launched as part of a major expansion of Craigslist in June Craigslist, founded by Craig Newmark in and long popular in cities such as San Francisco, New York and Com Angeles, click to see more more than 10 million users monthly. Susan MacTavish Best, a spokeswoman for Craigslist, said the Evansville site receives aboutpage views per month and about 1, new classified ads monthly.
Many observers have said that Craigslist, which is free to use for both buyers and sellers except for job listings in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York and brokered housing ads in New York poses a threat to established media outlets that depend on classified ad revenue. This week, The Economist wrote that Craigslist "has probably done more than anything to destroy newspapers' income. Best said that Craigslist tends "not to have any expectations" for growth or audience numbers for new sites.
