I've been able to get #1 On Google with Craigslist using a keyword packed headline and image ads which I can then show my affiliate URL without CL being able to detect it, and delete it soon after. I use photobucket.com to host my affiliate image ads. Also using image ads allows me to post many ads at one time by just changing the headline and adding some junk "white text" below my image ad which wont be seen by users, but to CL looks like a new ad text. I set up 3-4 free email addresses to use, them rotate through them. This works because you can go back and repost the same ads over again every 48 hours. Hope this tip helps other CL users get to the top of... Google. Have A Profitable Day! Bob
What image image ads are you saying?? Hmm.. on the last part of your post it seems you've seen some loopholes on craiglist.. hehe anyways... thanks for the info dude... Black hat rules.
I've used ebay the same way for 1 particular key phrase, I've used CL, and it was good, but you must remember: #1 Unique Post Titles #2 No more than 15 posts per email address #3 Multiple email address - googlemail is good #4 Change your IP when you change your email address.... #5 Unique image per post Clear your cache/cookies every time.....
CL is the good tools to advertise your site but if everyone spam and abuse them, hey will lost their value and that will be bad for other who are using CL too.
I dont think he is doing this for SEO for his site. His ads on Craigslist are ranking number 1 in Google, so for that short time its #1 he can drive traffic to the affiliate link.
