Bill - not sure what you're asking here. I don't follow Craigslist enough to know the demographic breakdown of their users. Thx for the comments, guys. Bill - not sure what you’re asking here.

It's good as far as it goes but it needs further research. Offhand, I don't know how you could do that research but it's late so maybe I'm overlooking something obvious here...

Aren't your findings amazing. Another way to look at it....is that my business site generates in excess of 1,000 visits/mnth from SE phrases that combine a version of a key business phrase and a key geographical phrase (typically city or state). Any one phrase might only generate 20-30 visits...so it does take a lot of phrase variations to reach that total. Alternatively we place an ad in craigslist on a continuous basis and it alone can generate in excess of 100 qualified local visits. Craigslist is our BEST keyword phrase! On the side of the coin....if I wanted to monetize for a local city regional/portal--how vital is that type of research. Thanks Matt Dave Research of that ilk is really great.
