    I think adsoncraigs.com is the way to go. I have tried just about everything under the sun, believe me and while it has certainly gotten much harder to post on CL there are still ways to make great money.

    What used to require a push button approach, now requires advance planning and patience. Tools are just that, "TOOLS". You still have to properly prepare your campaigns, do the "needed" set up in advance and take the needed steps BEFORE just posting away. Once upfront work has been done, then you are in maintenance mode making changes as CL makes their own internal changes. Keeping informed on when CL changes and what they change is a never ending task and one that should be included in your daily regiment.

    This is a business and marketplace that can be easily and greatly confused with a quick buck. Never mix them together. Those that are successful on CL are constantly honing their tactics and make modifications as needed..like clockwork. Those that are succcessful also don't look at posting to CL as a shotgun approach. This is not their mentality, nor should it be yours, however many working CL fall into this same trap because they look at it from the surface only and never take the time to peel off the layers. This is certainly one of the reasons why CL has made it so hard to post, have posts stick, appear or posts flagged. It's simply clean up and CL must perform clean up in order to reach their objective.

    Don't loose sight of what this objective is and understanding what it is will make you a lot of money on CL. Yes, postng on CL is requiring additional steps that didn't exisit a year ago but the site traffic has greatly increased as well. Exposure is extremely high and at a premium. Quality, well thought out ads get the hits, these ads are improved upon again and again and only then do they see duplication of sort. Set up sources are rotatated and tested again and again.

    In a nutshell, you are never standing in the same place for very long.. Anyway this is how I do it.

    I went through the trial, and it failed to post multiple locations.

    How can I trial another 10-20, as it expired after two attempts of 5 postings each??

    I use EasyAdPoster, really like it and haven't had a single issue with it. It's very good software for the price.

    OK...
    So who is providing a resonable inexpensive fee for posting my ads for my product using the EZADSUITE, and ADSONCRAIG.

    I'll try both services, each will have a different ad for the same product.
    I will spend what little free time for posting, and compare the 2 posting products.

    I will monitor what got through and what didn't.
    So if anyone with one of the 2 posting products could PM me with a cost, it would be greatly apreciated.

    Thanks,
    JR

    Does the easyad poster delete the old ads and then repost. I cannot seem to find that information.

    The adsoncraig software seems to do that but I want to check and see if easyad poster does before I make a decision on which to purchase.

    Thanks,

    Jim

    First I bought Craygo SUCKED!!! Then got a refund... because it was crap and was bunching up ads into one email ... then I got Adsoncraigs :mad: and no where did I see before I purchased that THERE WAS NO REFUND... although they have failed to respond to any of my emails for support... NO RESPONSE when they claim to have EXCELLENT support and them not providing this is why I want a refund plus their software is crap. I just went to their page trying to find contact info to report them to the BBB and click on disclaimer and this IS the only place I saw the no refund policy... who wants to have to check and uncheck cities that arent even good cities... who wants to check and uncheck the emails they want to use HMMM... I'm sorry but this program really stinks!!! DO NOT BUY ADSONCRAIGS... EZ AD SUITE IS THE WAY TO GO!!! I'm so darn mad I didn't find this product before I bought the other... so darn mad!

    Wanted to throw my two cents in about EasyAd software (including suite, confirmer etc)

    This software works pretty well. HOWEVER the real problem I am having is they are not updating it. Craigslist has found a way to eliminate the code Easyad uses to hide text within the body of the posting. It is this text that allows you to be able to post in more than one city. Your ads are still posted but the viewer now sees a bunch of gobbeldy gook on the screen usually down near your pciture. It is smaller type but I have had numerous people ask what it was. Most believe that you are spamming so your post is usually flagged and removed.

    I have had great success with Easyad until Craigslist figured out how to expose them. I have contacted Easyad (who by the way does have good customer service), but the reply is the same..."we are working on it". That was over a month ago.

    My suggestion is DO NOT spend the $99 bucks for this software until they get the text hidden again. If they can solve the issue, I would recommend this software 100%

    Hi folks.. first post...

    I have been using Craygo for the past month or so, and am just now starting to get it working well. I've had about 75% of my ads go "live".

    Once I make a bit of money from my ads, I'll probably either upgrade to Super Craygo, or I might try the EasyAdPoster.

    Someone asked if anyone here uses the University of Internet Science... I do... lots of good stuff there..

    I dunno if this will help, or not...

    Craygo uses a font color that is almost invisible.

    Here's the code for the scrambled text.

    <font color="OldLace">{scramble}</font>

    I suspect the "{scramble}" token is a Craygo element, but the font color "OldLace" MAY work in EAP.

    If someone who uses EAP would test this, I'd appreciate knowing if this works.

    Thanks

    I really loved this post. Always try using different methods for advertising my business.

    However, I have never really used adverts on Craigslist.

    Would anybody like to share an advert on Craigslist that is doing well and
    critique it as well.

    I would really appreciate the info.

    Mark

    What do you mean, "Would anybody like to share an advert on Craigslist...."?

    Did you want to see one of my ads? I'd be happy to send you a link to one, or if you want to see some CL ads, just log on and look.

    I'm not really sure what you mean, Mark, but if I can help, let me know.

    With EzAdSuite you can change the font that shows up at the bottom of the post you are talking about. I post daily on Craigslist and rarely get anything flagged and NOBODY every asks what that text is at the bottom.

    If you have a good ad copy that will attract the customer not the text at the bottom. EZAd just had another update about a week ago and they are on top of any and all problems i've ever seen and their support forum is great.

    I have owned other posting software and compared to EzAdSuite they lack a ton of features and the actual ability to post and have it work.
