Craigslist started with a lot of word of mouth marketing. It was the de facto classifieds site in the Bay Area before it opened for other cities. It started as and still is essentially a not-for-profit.
On a side note, Craigslist is hardly successful outside of the US. Even in London it's got no traction.
