November 23, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
November 23, 2006, Hawthorn, Australia free posting are gaining more popularity than ever. This is the result of comScore Media Metrix's latest digital media measurement that says free ad posting sites have gained popularity by up to 47 percent in the past year. Leading the pack is Craigslist.org, which drew in some 13.8 million visitors in July of this year alone, up an impressive 99 percent during the past year. The verdict is in: people are getting the hang of online shopping as they take charge in selling their goods themselves. Majority of these people, still according to the Metrix's results, are young professionals aged 25-34 and those living in high-income households.
But the true beauty of ad store like Craigslist, Gumtree, and OzFreeOnline, is that it is for everyone. Anyone with something to sell can place free ads, and take charge of their products and its advertisement to the entire world. Simply put, free ad posting sites are making all of us entrepreneurs in our own right. On the part of the seller, it is inarguable that free classified ads sites are still the best place to hunt for best buy and bargains.
While online classifieds are not new, it appears that Internet users are really beginning to catch on to this phenomenon, commented Andrew Lipsman, Senior Analyst of comScore Networks.
If anything, these figures show that traditional offline media would have to do some serious catching up too.
