    Can someone tell me if there is a good craigslist posting software that actually works. I have been hiring people to post ads for me and it has been expensive. I need to post 50 ads in 15 US cities daily with out them being flagged or removed.

    Please let me know, Thank!

    I have never heard of such a service. You're better off having people do it manually for you.

    no service, if there was craigslist would just change their filters. Find cheap outsourcing.

    Sometimes you just can't help the flagging. There are whole teams of people and bots dedicated to flagging the competition. The only way I've found to counteract some of the flagging is to flag first with a best of. Helps it stick around a little longer sometimes.

    I've tried just about every posting software out there...

    For actual reliability and success rate, nothing beats...

    HUMANS!

    Yup, they're pretty darn good =)

    Outsource, Outsource, Outsource.

    That's all!

    That's what I would do as well. There are people in India who would be ok, with 1 or 2 dollars per post and they write perfect English.
    It is possible that you can even find someone from the digitalpoint forums right here

    To me it's not effective if you target several cities. I suggest OP not to target many cities at once. Focus on your local area, post one ad a week targeting your local business, you will definitely get replies.

    Most of the CL users prefer to call a service provider. I tried this in past with my local US no. and it works.

    So far i understand buyers looking for some one local near about their area whom they can communicate over phone. Suppose you outsourced from some one who do CL spamming, you spent $$$ and result may be Zero as CL mark them as spam, where as you precisely write a add, post it to desired location, it will remain for one week, a better chance of getting results..

    [above is my personal view, just expressed my feelings on subject. I can't guarantee any success using above suggestion, it's a general discussion.]

    usually 10 ads per day in 10 cities can be enough and get good resulsts

    the key is to keep the headlines different and use a different email for each ad and this can be organized in excel and done daily by you in 20 minutes why not do it yourself?

    Exactly! if we do it ourselves results are guaranteed as we understand needs and pitch specific terms.

    I post 9 ads per day with my 3 accounts, I have done very well with them. When I used a posting service, I was overwhelmed by all the business.

    This is a tangent, but I was just thinking that you could offer craigslist postings for local businesses... and they'd love seeing themselves on there and the extra business it gives them.

    This person wasn't asking for marketing advise, they asked for a Craigslist poster.

    There was a post on here awhile back recommending a site that has what appears to be a pretty decent poster. It was expensive, about 400 something. You might just use the search feature and read a few threads. I forgot the name of the thing, but I did check it out. If I find it I will post here for you, but in the meantime I suggest getting the best one you can find and make sure they keep it up to date.
