Myspace Down, Craigslist UP: A Battle Has Begun?
Craigslist took over the top spot for the most searched term that Internet users clicked through to in the United States, during the week ending March 14. Myspace had held the top spot as the most popular term since March 2006. According to Hitwise, “U.S. searches on the term “craigslist” have increased 105 percent for the week ending March 14, 2009, compared with the same week last year.” Why is this? Could this increase in searching “craigslist” be a result of the economic position many consumers are in? Either way, this is positive for Craigslist!
So, who will be the next king of the hill?
Publishers in The Leadpile Lead Exchange certainly look at Craigslist as a place to promote their websites and the Leadpile offers. Those that are not, should maybe look into this site as a potential source of traffic.
