Ignore the Box

There's a new secret to gaining traffic on the web. Rather than thinking outside the box, staff at the popular Craigslist site have a different motto:

"Ignore the box completely"

An interview with Craigslist's CEO Jim Buckmaster reveals the company are too busy focusing on usability to worry about what anyone else is doing. They don't even want to make money. Heck, they try NOT to make money.

Their unusual approach is working. The site publishes nearly 15 million classified ads every month from users who clearly enjoy contributing to a site without ads.
