INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY -- Nov 10 -- Googlehas revealed it will move into the billion-dollar market for online
classified ads. That revelation comes at a time when its chief rival, Yahoois losing ground - at least in terms of visitor traffic - in its
classifieds business. In September, Yahoo's classified pages
attracted 573,000 unique visitors, down 42% from September 2004 per
comScore. Yahoo is the No. 1 site on the Web, with 169 million
unique visitors in September. Google ranks No. 4, at 87 million.

U.S. online classified revenue is expected to jump to $3.6 billion in
2010 from $1.8 billion last year, says Jupiter. Craigslistis tiptoeing ever so slowly into the for-fee arena. The company charges
a fee only for job listings in the San Francisco, Los Angeles and New
York markets. Craigslist has considered charging for real estate
listings. FULL ARTICLE @ INVESTORS WEEKLY
