    Craigslist posting using web links in html - ghosting

    whats the best way to link to your websites in craigslist without getting ghosted. -
    if you keep changing the page name on your url will that work?

    like www.website.com/form.htm
    www.website.com/form2.htm
    www.website.com/form3.htm

    or will craigslist pick it up and ghost it.

    tinyurl is banned? what other options are there?

    Buying fresh never been used domains. Turning them into many sub domains and redirecting them to your money site or main URL.

    TinyURL's suck just a fyi, instant ghost magnet.

    Keep on spamming. Good thinking. It's not like Craigslist hasn't figured it out. You think they haven't seen every possible trick?

    what is ghosting? I am pretty new to Craigslist. I created a page with several lnks, pasted the code to a Craigslist ad and submitted it. It seemed to work OK. Are you saying they will zap me soon?

    Ghosting is when you post an ad and it doesn't go live on the site. Normally after 15 minutes a ad will show live on CL. If it doesn't you have been ghosted. This happens for 100's of reasons normally related to accounts, content, or IP's.

    Your best bet is to not post URLs in your ads specifically if your posting bulk ads. Using an auto-responder and posting your links the the reply will allow you to use your links safely. Added benefits include building a client list and engaging the customer.

    I agree. I've seen that posting links and images in ads will give you a high ghosting rate.

    It's not the links or images that give you the problem it's using the same link and image file for several ads and not rotating them. If rotate links with re-directs and upload multiple image files (can be the same one with a different name) you won't run into this problem. Or I should say you are less likely. There's always the Nazi flaggers who get you.

    The other major problem is posting frequency, IP addresses, etc. Like mentioned above.
