Marketing on Craigslist

    I've had some success on CL and want to ramp it up a bit. I realize that ads eventually do get flagged and taken down, but there must be ways to do it without "spamming" and be able to fly under the radar. So for you experts out there, care to share any tips and tricks for successful CL posting and marketing?

    I have reasons to believe that all my CL postings are automatically flagged, although it shows a green in my account, I can't find my posting anywhere on CL though...

    I would assume just post a lot of ads throughout all of the sections (if you are advertising a site or something, it doesn't matter where the traffic lives). If they get taken down then they get taken down, you can always post up new ones.

    This has gotten more of a problem, though, since Craigslist now requires a phone validation. Annoying.

    there are websites(such as in my signature) that sell phone verified accounts to get around this problem

    I signed up for Craigslist and if I wanted to reinsert the ad again, they wanted you to validate your account
    with a phone number. The number I wanted to fit in wouldn't work so I just left it.....disappointing.

    I noticed that if you advertise with similar titles and text you get flagged. If you are posting 10 ads a day, break them down, some in the morning, some later on. Do change the text and the link you are using.

    I am a professional CL marketer. I use the top software to post 30,000+ ads per month. Sorry, but adsoncraigs isn't the best software out there. Do a search of this forum and you'll see people complaining about it.

    If you are interested in real tools to help you post on Craigslist as well as support and training, PM me. I am new here and I can't post live links yet.

    Yes you are ghosted. They ghost hyperlinks now in many of their classified sections.
