    I have become so mad at CL! It's a complete waist of my time.
    I have found other sites to post at but I still try CL.
    Company Advertising Klassifieds
    Back Page
    Web Cosmo
    Gumtree
    These are the classifieds I now use to get targeted traffic, use them all!
    Do your ads show on CL? :mad:

    i did bother for a while but CL does seem to have a really good recognition system for blocking our spammy ads

    i dare say if you post a real add then it may stay up

    but if (like me) you post about 20 - 30 ads in a few hours with similar titles etc then they get booted.

    I advertise all the times on CL. Actually we get a lot of clients from the site. It depends where are you located but the competition in NY is very tough. And nobody wants to scroll down after the first page so you have to stay on top all the time which could be very time consuming.
    I have checked out the sites you talking about CKrismoney but they are just not getting enough traffic.

    Not anymore, they get flagged too quickly.

    There are lot of things happening with craigslist. One major problem is spams. Lot of legit ads also get preyed down by their spam policy.
    Another thing is flagging. Sometimes people flag posts unnecessarily when they find posts from their competition.
    Because of these problems craigslist is slowly but surely loosing its usefulness to some extent.
