If you’re looking for a job, a car, or a great deal on a used sofa, the first place you might look is online, specifically on sites like CraigsList, Sell.com, and CareerBuilder. And you’re not alone. According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, 49 percent of Internet users say they have used online classified ads, compared to just 22 percent in 2005. About 9 percent of users visit these sites on any given day, compared to 4 percent in 2005.
