I don't doubt you K. Maybe I just don't understand the internet business. How do dollars get into the bank for google now?
One simple mechanism. Pay per click.
Everytime somebody clicks on a site on an ad served by Google, the site owner gets a few cents (because he has brought the visitor to click on the ad) and the ad owner pays a few dollars to Google (because he gets the visitor to come to his site through the Google served ad).

Maybe the sell the technology or software sold. Even thought Google now makes allot of money I know companies that buy the search software from Google and pay big bucks for it, possible you tube software is sold that way. Third tear
My question is how do craigslist.org and kijiji.ca make any money

Craigslist doesn't make any. This is the whole point on Craigslist, it's simply free.
Youtube.. not sure. I don't think it makes any, it just has a huge hype and community. This made Google buy it, and probably is cooking some ad scheme to use it to. But I could be wrong here, I'm not really into this new thing-a-ma-jiggy net based virtual life.

Me to bro. But I think you're right. They probably are looking at it's future potential.
Yes they do, a lot but they only charge in a few city categories. A few years ago ebay bought 25% of craigslist for a reported $20 million, today it's estimated value is in the hundreds of millions. So compare that to Youtube which wasn't making money.jawpad said:
Coincidentally, i was reading the Time issue on YouTube on my flight today and YT doesn't make any.
That's why they sold it for $1.5billion - the founders figured they couldn't do better with a website which makes no money.
Google's acquisition of YT is not because it is a revenue earner but for convergence of business lines where Google owns all forms of content.

You tube is interesting in the way they take almost any video format and enable you to watch it from almost any PC. I do not know what formats do not work on you tube or what the pc requirements are to play them back but that software must be in demand. They could sell that software just like Google sells there search software too business sites
