Clickbank and Craigslist Test and Scam?

    I was on craigslist and replied to a lot of ads for writers. I'm a pro-blogger and was looking for more work, and replied.

    What was sent back to me was a quick paragraph and a "CLICK HERE" type of link. When I looked at the url for the link it was a blatant clickbank url, lots of numbers then hop, you know the kind. I clicked on one and it was indeed a clickbank offer.

    Now, I flagged it on clist and tried to get it banned, and nothing happened.

    So I figured I would put up a similar ad, within 1 hour mine was flagged.

    I got 4 responses, sent them the info, only 3 hops, no conversions.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    Is there a way to market on craigslist with clickbank? Or anywhere else? Seems like a worthless endeavor.

    I have never used craigslist but I know that A LOT of people market there. In fact, CPA networks such as PeerFly doesn't even
    allow marketing on craigslist or any social website for that matter I think (unless PPC/PPV), because it's mostly just spammers that use those places to market things.

    That's true, I've seen 99.9% of listings outside of the jobs and even some of the jobs themselves as spam!

    I think Craigslist must fix this issue. However, I knew lot of people earning decent amount of money for advertising their affiliate links on Craigslist.

    You need to send to a landing page or your own url (not a bit.ly) that is forwarded to the hoplink.

    How do they do it? I feel like everyone says this and then there's no proof. I have yet to see anyone legitimately make money with craigslist ads.
