If one would just happen to stop by Craiglist for the first time, all he would see are numerous links and a simple white background, with no special java or flash programming on the website that most big search companies have. But what is it about Craiglist that is so special, that it is ranked number 7, following closely its very powerful rivals Yahoo!, Google and Microsoft, when it comes to its field? Even more surprising are the various amounts of prestigious web awards that the site has earned, along with the millions of visitors every month. All with a company staff of 23 people. Truly The Craiglist is one of the few sites who are focusing on service rather that its own wealth growth. However Craiglist is not clean of scandals. Most accusations against Craiglist is focused on the issue of unfair competition, due to the free services they offer, whereas companies have built themselves based on monthly or weekly advertisement publications, which they charge the posters for a hefty sum. All of which are free for a Craiglist member. Craiglist retaliates by pointing out that they virtually do not charge at all, which is why the people are choosing them over priced services.
