I know it's a violation of Craigslist and Ebay TOS to advertise an ePN site on Craigslist. What about Kijiji and Backpage? Anyone have any trouble/issues with them?
Really? I have seen people doing it without troubles. Mind to share with us in which page of craiglist or eBay that shows the TOS you mentioned?
http://www.craigslist.org/about/terms.of.use.html 7. CONDUCT You agree not to post, email, or otherwise make available Content: k) that constitutes or contains "affiliate marketing," "link referral code," "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or unsolicited commercial advertisement; https://www.ebaypartnernetwork.com/PublisherRegCC?lang=en-US C. Unacceptable Placements. You will not place Links or Promotional Content in third-party newsgroups, message boards, blogs, comments, link farms, forums, classified ad services, counters, chatrooms or guestbooks unless it is allowed by their terms and conditions.
The way arround this is linking your "revelent" website to craigslist or backpage then having them click thru from there. Just dont spam, I advertise all the time on craiglist, kijiji and Backpage and get tons of traffic. Just put it under the approprate catagory. (Ex. Selling Software, advertise under computers or software, dont advertise under real estate, or clothing.. You will get a much higher CTR by putting it under the approprate catagory anyway and you wont get flagged as much..
I used to use the Ebay CJ program to spam on CL. Now that I'm back at home though, all my posts are ghosted... I was doing about 2 hours worth of spamming a week, making around $400/m. I made less when it converted over to EPN for some reason...
