    How does the big G feel about Craigslist traffic? The traffic is "targeted." I have a credit repair site and I post an ad in services>financial section. It's not like I spam for sale section, and dating section just to get people to come to my site.. I get article traffic as well, but a bulk of it comes from CL. Am I breaking any rules or TOS? Will I be ok?

    I don't think it break's google's TOS for adsense, but it
    may break craigslist TOS.

    You might not consider it spam, but a lot of people would.

    I myself have tried the postings on craigslist, but
    with very little success. Not much traffic.

    If you are getting traffic, no spam complaints, making some
    cash, keep going for it.

    I agree with Stephenc that is doesn't break the TOS. Just don't be disappointed if they give you a temporary ban if they get complaints. The TOS are updated when "G" gets complaints from users about feeling railroaded into ads/squeeze pages/irrelevant content. Like you said it is targeted traffic, only complaints can mess things up for you.
