    There are better ways to promote your website. You must use Craigslist.

    I made $579 by posting 2 ads on CL, and it's simple and fast. Use these tips and start to make money right now:

    * Catch the curiosity of the reader in your subject, not the ad

    * SHORT ADS receive more clicks than LONG ADS

    * Ebay is a great word to use in the subject of your ads

    * Short ads get 80% more success to not be flagged

    * Write "numbers" in your subject. They work lie a charm!

    * Google is very glad about Craigslist posts. Take advantage of this!

    * Track your clicks in order to know which ad was the best


    Hope it helps.

    Yup. CL is great. but the way we take the advantage and exploited it to convert the traffic to cash is the issue. with smart planning & strategies, I also believe that we also can built our own list from CL. Good luck dude.

    why these days I heard a lot of bad stories than a success from the CL marketer. I've not tried yet, but plan to do later...

    they said some marketers hire somebody to flag any competing ads with theirs (and some admit that they are the person get paid to do that). even, you can do that with some special tool (can't tell you this)... this is bad

    btw, that's not an excuses for me not to try. CL still the 10th most visited site in the world...

    craigslist is not working for some niches although it's great for other niches.

    To make massive profits you must use Craigslist to sell what people want. For example:

    * People want to save their time.
    They may want to work less and spend time enjoying life's pleasures. This will make them feel more relaxed.

    * People want to make more profits.
    They may want to start their own business, get a higher paying job or invest in the stock market. This will make them feel successful.

    * People want to look better. They may want to lose weight, tone their body, or improve their facial features.

    * People want to be comfortable. This will make them feel relieved.

    * People want to live longer. They may want to get in shape, eat better or gain extra energy.


    I think some marketers are using CL the very bad way. Just what I seen from my experience...

    This may be a little off topic, but do you get any SEO affect by posting your sites address under a Craiglist post?

    id say the word free also catched just about everyones attention so if you can tie that in but make sure somethign you have to offer is free or could be flagged.

    Hey there.
    Craigslist posts are showing on Google and other engines. The best way to suck money from your ads is the "Long term way"...that works for search engines.

    More info in my guide.

    Craigslist is THE CLASSIFIED!
    Quite frankly, I don't know another classified ad like CL. In fact CL has billions of visits per single month and best of all it's a free website.

    Use it the best method you can... ;)
