Make Money Fast Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the black-and-white-and-oh-you've-heard-this-one dept.

A story in a magazine for dead-tree newspaper editors notes that many of the internet operations established in conjunction with newspapers are actually making money. Interesting stuff. Note that they're not making money from banner ads, but from classified ads.

    Note that they're not making money from banner ads, but from classified ads.

    The question though. Are they happy about it?

    What do I mean? Classifieds are THE most profitable part of dead-tree newspapers. A major reason newspapers WENT online is because they feared their classified business would be stolen by web sites. Hopefully--and I say this because I READ newspapers and Web sites--the demand for classifieds can support both.
