    im looking to get into CL advertising or at least test it out with the way myspace has changed now and im wondering if autoposters are really a waste the way i have seen some people talk about it?

    I'm reading this subject too, do a search, a lot of threads about Craigslist are out there.

    Ps, what changes does myspace make?

    the msplink bypass has gotten hard to get around and i heard about alot of captcha changes lately where it has to be entered alot more

    i think im going to start with adbomber to see what CL is like, it seems to be close to manual posting with the actions it takes

    You don't need autoposters for Craigslist. Consider these:

    1. Multiple ads per time can be like spam. CL hates that

    2. 98% of autoposters-software are broken (after a new update of CL)

    3. You can post 2 ads per day and get more profits than an autoposter


    I made $2,300+ just to sell a $7 guide...and You can do better! Take advantage of these tips:

    - Catch the curiosity of the reader in your subject, not the ad.
    - Use images in your ads.
    - Write "numbers" in your subject. They work good!
    - Track your clicks in order to know which ad was the best.
    - Toronto is a great place to post. I tested it!
    - If you put your ads into an (Ms.) Excel file, you can control them with ease.

    Hope it helps.

    If you have a way to set up multiple accounts with Cl then you can do several ads a day. Also if u know of a way to change ur IP everytime u post an ad then you can make multiple ads a well. Cl is big on accounts and IPs keep this in mind.

    If you have several different sites or products you can post them all in the same day. I have been using cl for a few years now, and they always change things to keep people from spamming. So I just sell different items, some with no links and some with links. This way I am selling more without spamming.

    Craigslist is very sensitive to spamming and you must be very careful to live within their rules.
    Autoposters are a bad idea in my opinion. As tbtoyl says above, there are better ways to use
    Craigslist.

    Uuummm...
    I don't desire to spam CL.

    Create multiple accounts, change 10 I.P. addresses in a moment as posting 20-30 ads per day works like spam.

    Personally, I stay 10.000 miles away from that black methods.
