    Craigslist is a great inspiration for all classifieds pages out there. It will be interesting to see how Craigslist international strategy will be working out. When I check out the South African Craigslist, it features a lot of foreign (Mainly USA) ads. Probably, Craiglist is pushing through content from other countries to ensure that the South African website is growing in terms of ads. South African search engines will recognize the ads as South African due to the URL (.co.za), et voila….traffic.
