And the entire UP of Michigan has just one site, the State of Montana which is larger than all of Wisconsin has just one Rhinelander site. There are other examples of large tracks of country go here a local Craigslist.
I am not trying rhinelander be flippant, or sarcastic. I am just trying to show you that your claim of 40 miles andmay not meet a threshold of significant population concentration. I hope you do get your site, but I am not going to bet any of my money on it. A population ofis not enough going to be enough of a population to interest anybody at Craig's list, sorry.

Craigslist listed my son's used car on Craig's list I got two calls in a month from the Craig's List ad. Ok, eau claire has 61K, i'm sure just click for source the cities within mins, there's probably only around K or so, same with La crosse, 52K You may volunteer if you wish, it's not likely to be too much work. Deuce: You know, you might be on to something. A states like Wisconsin, Iowa, and maybe Indiana have large and medium sized cities, but lots more rural areas of low population density sprinkled with small towns and villages.
The rhinelander is there isn't enough people for a unique Craigslist for each small rural region. But enough straw bunched together is almost as strong as a 2X4. Let's face it, if you could add your population to say Monroe, Rhinelander, Hurley, and Rice Lake, well then you would have a site. So the concept would be along the lines of Rural Wisconsin not otherwise listed. And yes visitors would craigslist a craigslist Washer and Dryer for sale at the other side of the state, but so what.

Phil exactly Phil, a "central WI" will make a couple hundred thousand people very happy Craig Neumark used to be one of the easiest people around to get a hold of.
At least he used to be. He was so transparent that if you got some one angry craigslist you because you were "sooooo mean" he would personally send you an e-mail from his own account telling you to stop. I think it's just his name craigslist. I think their mechanism is pretty archaic. If they just used a mile radius search like most other web based source does, you could accomplish what you need to easily. If it wasn't so cumbersome, I'd search more. Just one mans opinion. Just one man's opinion. Yes, That is a good and valid observation.
What you suggested is very constructive and useful. However, I don't think it will ever happen. Craigslist is a non-profit organization.
Rhinelander, Wisconsin
Per Wikipedia, they have only 25 employees. To do what you suggest would require a small building full of web code writers and about 2 years of development. The basic model of Craigslist is for large metropolitan cities as isolated entities. Communities far away from the big cities could get and read the Want-Ads of the Big City, but unless there was a local paper or a local addition to the Big City Newspaper, the rural folks did without.
The Craigslist employee count is most likely about just the Rhinelander employee count for a company with almost 17 thousand employees. EBay has over 11, employees. Actually I don't think it would be that difficult. A lot of web sites have a geographic search that do exactly what Curt proposes--restaurant searches, doctor searches, etc. I would assume but its not my area of expertise that there are commercial products out there that are easy to integrate.
The search would rely on accurate location information by the ad poster though, and based on what I've seen on CL that would be the difficult part. You'd think people could spell their own city's name right???? I agree though that it will never happen. Others have implemented CL search engines that do something similar to what Curt suggested.
