This Blew Me Away

Craigslist.org - according to Compete.com, has ranked for the last 6 months between the 15-20th most trafficked site on the internet in the US. They receive about 28 million visitors a month. None of this is surprising.

But this, wow. In a recent interview at the Real Estate Connect NYC 2008 conference, the founder Craig Newmark was asked the following question and gave this response:

AW: Do you find that social news sites like Digg (which often promote your Best of Craigslist content) help your traffic or user involvement at all?



CN: We don't have the stats for referrers, so no real clue, but I'd guess they don't help significantly.

Craig, thanks a lot for the comment. You made me laugh. Too seriously? Suppose I am not one to talk as I'm surprised to see anyone actually reads this blog. Thanks.
