'"Almost one in six Americans sells items on the Internet and increasingly is doing so through online classified ads. The Pew Internet & American Life Project reported Monday that on a typical day in September, 2% of Internet users were selling something, with the Craigslist.org network of classified-ad marts in 100 cities drawing nearly a third of the traffic."
Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
