Craigslist Sucks!!!!!

    I officially hate Craigslist I posted 4 ads in 4 different cities and 4 unique ads and they ghosted all my ads and blocked my ID from posting ever again. I tried different emails, masking IP and everything still no luck.

    What are my alternatives to CL for posting webmaster ads and that allow HTML in the ads.

    We should all get together and make a popular webmaster and business related classifieds without all the retarded restrictions.

    Craigslist has rules. If you break them, they'll block you.

    Have you tried AdlandPro, Backpage, USFreeAds?

    And why would anybody go to a site that is filled with spam? If craigslist allowed you people to spam to much people would stop going to craigslist

    They blocked you because of spam. craigslist is for people that sell
    physical goods, not money making offers, plus you would not have a
    good target audience either. I know on the most part, people there are there to sell their junk,
    not buy your money offers, or join aff programs.

    Have you received any responses to your ads? On those new classified sites?

    I don't like craigslist much either. Posting takes time and the ads don't even stay on for more than a few months.

    Well follow the rules, I didn't get my ip banned but I got some stuff deleted at kijiji because it was affiliate stuff.

    How did you post in 4 seperate cities at once? Since it is geared for locals, not nationals. I must be missing something, unless you were spamming.

    I've had great luck posting merchandise there, but I'll be damned if I
    can get a Help Wanted ad posted there.

    I use kijiji all the time. Its a lot easier to use and easy going. There is no drama, no word fights, no auto flagging software that others can use against you. It is not viewed by as many people but still its more comfy.
