    Anyone know who I can hire to post multiple ads on craigslist in different cities and states? I prefer a reliable company.

    Im not sure how effective they are, but there are autoposters (+/-$100) that create tons of email address and post hundreds of posts at a time. I now that craigslist is pretty sure at stopping this type of spam.

    I'm not too sure on how effective this form of marketing will be. Craigslist has a way of detecting posts that are even moderately similar, so all posts will have to be changed dramatically.

    Or you can just do it for free. Craiglist advertising really isn't effective IMO.

    I offer CL posting services for $.30 per post. You only pay for non ghosted ads. CL is a very effective marketing tool. I have dealt with many clients who are benefiting off of CL daily. Yes Craigslist can detect similar posts, but theirs so many different variations of bypassing their filters that its still easily possible to make a solid income. Of course this will also boil down to what categories you are targeting and what promotion/opportunity your trying to market. But Craigslist marketing does work.

    Craigslist certainly has a large pre-existing fan base of regular users but this large audience does not necessarily ensure advertisers will have a target audience just waiting for them to post their advertisement. Craigslist is an extensive online community and finding members of the target audience is more important than reaching the entire community.

    For this reason business owners should focus on placing their advertisement in sections which are likely to be visited by members of the target audience. Additionally, placing advertisements in multiple sections may result in the moderators of Craigslist interpreting the advertisements as spam and deleting them.

    Seems like you either hate CL or love it for link building. I've never had much success at the whole CL link building game, but if you sell a product, I can see how a couple hundred CL posts can benefit. Making several posts manually is a VERY time consuming process, and Craigslist is getting better and better at detecting SPAM.

    If you can get some quality posts at a low cost... go for it. If not, I think your time can be better spent diving into social media.

    If your product sells for lets say $30 and your hiring someone $0.30 to post ads, you'd need to get 1 sale for every 100 posts to break even. This is an example, do your own maths and research to see if your product would work or not on CL.

    Good luck

    Cl links are no follow... it's a direct response marketing medium.

    Try one of the many freelance sites. Might take a while to find someone reliable, so just hire a few and get them to do test runs and you'll see soon enough who can do what you need.

    Just do it manually. There are THOUSANDS of competing ads on Craiglist, so unless you are selling a home or offering a real job in the classifieds, don't expect much success.
