 PROFILE
Loot lives up to its name by helping others make money. The company's three Web sites offer classified ads for jobs, cars, homes, apartments, travel, and various merchandise. Ads can be accessed via the Web, digital television, or wireless devices. The Web sites also offer auctions, community features, and a business-to-business mall, LootCafé. The company also publishes 29 classified ad newspapers in the UK and Ireland that let individuals place ads for free, generating revenue from the cover price and from fees charged to commercial advertisers. Between newspapers and the Web, Loot publishes more than 350,000 ads weekly. Loot is a subsidiary of Scoot.com, which bought the company in 2000 for £190 million.
