Marketing on craigslist is becoming a lottery! It might show, it might not!

I used to use CL but now I feel stupid for even trying. My ad did not show this morning, but all the spam ads were there as always. I'm so mad I created a blog this morning. http://heycraignewmark.blogspot.com
I use other classifieds now to get my products and services known.

Company Advertising Klassifieds
Back Page
Web Cosmo
Gumtree

Where else can I advertise for free?

 

I had the same problem with CL. I posted legitimate ads and they are not showing but all the SPAM ads are there

 

Well yeah CL can be very tough sometimes.
Thanks anyway for the links. I have posted with your service.

I like the idea that you can upload pictures even if you offer a service.

 

I have the same problem. Since spammers think it's a great place to advertise Craigslist is like a waste bin...

Crags list is uselly recommended to me when I talk to people offline.

I'm on a few of the ones you post

One man's spam is another man's treasure.

That is why spam persists. About 10 to 20% of the population buy stuff from spam.

My wife bought something online from a pop up spam and I was ticked.

I hate pop up spam more then anything but perhps I should be using it.

 

I don't know how they choose ads to show but they choose some of the wrong ones.

 

How long are the spam ads up on CL before being taken down? Or are they just not being noticed?

 

I think they are logging IPs these days and try to ban your post (not appearing) if you post more than 3 ads within 7 days...
Did you post more than 3 ads in past 7 days?

 

I changed my ip and my ad still does not show.
I hate it!

 

Hmm I've had the same problem. I found out how to fix it with a new trick I developed. I'm never going to release it, becuase that means more competition to fight....
