The Big Wave Blog

I am very excited to share with our readers that one of my favorite websites doubled its traffic over 2007!

The “official” news came a few weeks back. “Craigslist” is now a search term with more search volume than “mapquest” and “youtube”… awesome!

A lot of growth is coming from new cities and states. California is still #1, but other new states are quickly catching up. Here is a great post by Heather Hopkins from Hitwise giving details on the phenomenal growth Craigslist has experienced over the last year.

Craigslist is one of the few freestanding Great Idea web properties. I have always been a big fan of Craig Newmark. It’s a pleasure to see this project attain such rapid growth and success.

Congrats to the Craigslist team!
