    I want to do some advertising on craigslist, but found out they have implemented several tactics to keep the spam down. I am just wondering if I were to buy 20 PVA's(phone verified accounts) how long do they last. Craigslist will only allow you to post one ad per 48hours. So if I were to buy 20 accounts how long would they last?

    I mean could I use them for a couple months, weeks, days?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You could use them for a very long time. If you are busted for spamming then the case is different

    Craiglist advertising doesn't really work unless you are offering a job or trying to sell real estate or an automobile. Waste of time in my opinion

    I do not agree. If you are selling a marketing product/service... than its a waste of time.

    But if you are offering a general service, job position or selling a tangible product - than craiglist is great!

    Hey I recently started testing craigslist trying to figure a way to utilize it. I made some accounts and did not have to be phone verified. Just email and make a password.

    Maybe you will be able to do the same :)

    The best way to advertise on cg, is to post in category "I am hiring a gig for a small job" or something like this. When I did so it was free and they didn't even tried to verify my identity by phone. You will usually get 20-30 replies and from here you can direct those people to you cpa or other landing pages. To get more replies, post under different cities but change your listing slightly so you don't get flagged.

    i am also confused that how can i get PVA (Phone Verified Account).
    but if we do spam tactics craigslist can removed our post as well as Account.
