    I recently posted a listing on craigslist and used a title that is very competitive. In less the an hour it was on the 1st page of google for the title I used. How can craigslist achieve such fast results? Do they have some type of instant index of some sort??

    Its like a social networking site. Huge number of visits easily get a page indexed. You should try webcosmo.com. they offer one ad for entire country.

    my guess is that the site is ranked very high and thus considered an authority. authority sites are crawled constantly

    No, this will destory the concept of craigslist and devalue it. Plus, people will flag your posts and they'll be gone in no time. I do not recommend this. :mad:

    I dont recommend it for that use either. I actually did it with no bad intension.

    I'm just surprised at how fast the listing was indexed. My assumption is that being that there content is always changing and listings are being added Google kows to index more frequently.

    It will only rank for a short while, so the benefit is extremely limited.

    Very true my listing was up there for no more then 7 hours then started declining. The curiosity still kills me to know how fast the listing was indexed???
