Any alleged negative attention garnered by Craigslist as a result of the "Craigslist Killer" case seems to have had little impact on how people use the Internet classified ad site, or on how well its business is doing. As a motion to investigate media leaks in the case filed by the attorney for alleged killer Philip Markoff was being rejected by Judge Frank M. Gaziano, another arrest involving illicit Craigslist ads was made on July 8. Two alleged prostitutes and a client were arrested in a sting run by Somerville police after officers responded to two separate craigslist ads for prostitution. Bostonist was under the impression Craigslist was cracking down on ads for "erotic services". One thing is certain, business appears unimpeded at Craigslist as the New York Times reported in June that the San Francisco-based company's revenue is expected to rise 23% in 2009 and reach the $100 million mark.

Craigslist is like the paper. They go there to find what the want. This isn't going to change. Craigslist is one of the best websites on the Internet.
This is just another example of how free classifieds sites like this one and backpage.com actually help law enforcement find criminals and prosecute them. Since prostitution is illegal- though it shouldn't be- police should be thrilled with online host sites where people advertise their illegal services.
