Report: Craigslist Revenue to Top $100 Million This Year

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on June 11, 2009 - 9:47am.
Los Angeles - Online classifieds giant Craigslist is on track to generate $100 million in revenue this year, up 23% from its estimated revenue of $81 million last year, according to a report from market research firm AIM Group/Classified Intelligence.

The firm began estimating Craigslist's revenue in 2003, when it projected $7 million in revenue.

Its basic methodology is to count the number of ads on the site; Craigslist charges $75 for job ads in San Francisco, and $25 in most other cities, as well as $10 for adult listings, and $10 for apartment ads in New York City.

Wired.com used the same methodology and itself estimated that Craigslist revenue could actually be more than $300 million this year.

The company would not comment on either revenue estimate when asked by Wired.
