    Greetings,

    Anyone used Craiglist effectively to make their affiliate sales. Or if we use a redirect to our Cj affiilate link and post it on Craiglist will Cj count it as a sale.

    Yeah, as soon as I post something it gets deleted. Lots of people with no life spend all day monitoring CL for spam and get it deleted within minutes.

    Craigslist advertising is also technically against the CJ TOS.

    CJ's Network Quality team has mentioned to me before that Craigslist advertising is not allowed due to that provision (unless you specify it in the Special/Incentive Description).

    I didn't realize CJ has a position on Craigslist advertising. Sounds like it could be pretty risky. The CL goons are pretty aggressive. They might actually try to get your CJ account terminated.

    That's what I would do but it doesn't really fool anyone. They will just assume the publisher with his affiliate links on the third party site is the one spamming CL.

    If the 3rd party site is filled with affiliate links and the CL nazi crowd catches it they will flag it.
