"craiglists has evolved into a multi million dollar business", I don't understand, if they rarely have ads, they do everything for free, how do they make money? Where does thie multi million dollar come from?

friendsreunited.com? salon.com? neevr even heard of them and like bobrboob, im online majority of my day (unfortunately).
I cant believe mapquest.com isnt on that list. Its one of the most useful sites on the internet. I would be lost (literally) without it.
Im only 23, I dont understand how people got around without mapquest 10 or 20 years ago
And google should have been higher and Wikipedia should have been way lower
