Interesting! If I read that right, the Craigslist page on Wikipedia got
an extra 15k pageviews or so. As a comparison, my rough guess is that
Craigslist gets 100m pageviews/day. I base that on these numbers:

Assuming the estimate of circa $100m in annual revenues, and making a
number of other overly simplifying assumptions, the ballpark financial
advantage to Craigslist for Craig Newmark's appearance here is about
$40, or 13 seconds worth of revenues.
