they didn't seems to have a category for selling health supplements. oh well, my new site sure needs some traffic.
listing on craiglist is not good on link building since your listing will be removed after some months ?
What is needed is more spam. blogs, craigs, phpbb... just more crappy spam so that it dilutes the value of the service to the point where people will no longer trust or use it. Everyone wants the quick fix, the trick, the tip. Tips and tricks don't last. Build something worth visiting. Then you can take time off and relax. Focus on blackhat crap and tricks and you'll be just another stressed out monkey hitting the keys on the typewriter. Anyone can plagerize. Google is smart enough to devalue links from sources that are easily spammed.
They've added numerous new categories so it's much easier to place ads in the most relevant section of the site now.
In the larger cities your ad will expire in 7 days and the smaller cities they last 45 days, so I would say it's not that great for backlinks.
Do you think a directory submission service would receive any traffic from craigs list? I just feel that is very niche and not many people would be searching for it on craigslist.
i think a backlink shows the effect in 3-4 months on google search. because this links on that web site will not help your google seo
