Today I did my first posting in the craigs list forums, I signed up last week was not able to post for 7 days. Sunday night it seems that my server went down for a couple of hour's and I lost say about 80% of my traffic stumbleupon. Well getting back to craigs list I added my first thread at 3 o'clock eastern time it is now 4:45 already I have over a thousand page views and 7 clicks from adsense so if you not have used them I would say try it its bringing me alot of traffic and it's not just hit and run traffic they are going over the whole site, and a lot of it is USA traffic.
That's good to hear. You will probably find that you get ghosted or flagged a lot. Your competitors will do most of the flagging, as they don't want you competing with them. Some people even have special software to flag all of their competitors. I have to use several accounts and post frequently to keep my ads visible. But, CL is a great place to advertise. They get billions of hits from people looking to buy. Just remember that the more difficult CL makes it, the more opportunity there is for you. Your competitors may quit, but the traffic won't slow down.
yup, they are pretty good at banning spammers. My advice is to make your topics look different. For example, if you are posting in automotive forum, use automotive questions.
