    Agreed. CraigsList will stay on top until they start across the board charging for ads and then people will look for the another free option. The only real threat would be Google's Classified, their advantage is that they could give preferential search engine results to their own classified ad program.

    I think the challenge here is for any ads to stay long on page coz new advertser will push our ads away ...so how we combat this ? i mean it's not flagging but our ads seems to be pushed away by others

    No. I believe that CL is unique and unless major things come up there is no alternative of CL.

    I know U.S. college students I talk to know about Craigslist. I doubt many of them have heard of USFreeAds or GumTree.

    Why would people stop using it when they start charging?

    loquo started out in spain three years ago...

    hit high... got bought by ebay

    everyone was like oh no thats bad news, they will start charging... we wont use it anymore... bla bla bla... and now what?

    you can now post featured ads for a price... and? isnt that good? i doubt that people are just out for the free...

    Did your ad got deleted by an employee or flagged by others?

    AFAIK nothing beats CL yet..
