Who is Craig and what about his lists? Good Classified Tools You Can Use!

Have you heard about Craig or his list? I, like many of you, am always searching for new online tools to use for finding things I need, finding people to connect with, and for advertising purposes. A few years ago, this mysterious Craig guy was a mere unknown, seamlessly training the Internet without detection. Now, he's in every city and country on the map! Lucky for us, this Internet exposure has provided a myriad of opportunities for communication, connections and information. For you, now you can get a list of classified sites to help you market, sell, connect, interact, and even date!

Here is a list of my favorites:

• www.craigslist.com
• www.yelp.com
• www.merchantcircle.com
• www.kijiji.com
• www.backpage.com
• www.blurbpage.com
• www.freeified.com
• www.infozeal.com
• www.oddbark.com
• www.instantfinder.com
• www.dontlookanyfurther.com
• www.workpost.com
• www.chelios.net

While we all know that google is just about King in most web searches, it pays to know about other good sites. This is especially true when you are looking to hire professionals for services such as attorneys, accountants, contractors, etc. I use Craigslist and Yelp and Merchantcircle, and have my information posted on other sites as well. As always, read each site completely, and look for signs of security, including "https" and don't give too much personal information on the web - as you may never know who is on the other end. All in all, you can easily find online classifieds in your city, state, or country, and if Craig and his list is any indication of the popularity of these sites, there will be more additions to my list very soon!
