Q: How does craigslist support its operations? A: By charging below-market fees for job ads in 10 cities, and for brokered apartment listings in NYC. Q: How much are job ads? A: $25 in Chicago, NYC, LA, DC, Boston, Portland, Sacramento, Seattle, and San Diego, and $75 in SF.

"Its sole source of revenue is paid job ads in select cities ($75 per ad for the San Francisco Bay Area; $25 per ad for New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., Chicago and recently Portland, Oregon) and paid broker apartment listings in New York City ($10 per ad)."

btw, Craigslist apparently takes in over $20 mil/year revenue just from job ads in New York / California. I read that in Wikinomics -- impressive figure if accurate.
