    Hello,

    I have problem with craigs list ads - I can't find them when I search for them.

    The link is: http://orlando.craigslist.org/boa/610367590.html

    I got that link from the email, but when I search for some of the keywords it will not list.

    Any idea?

    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Jonas

    The ad was ghosted. Even though the link they sent still brings your ad up, it is not actually live. Craigs is a joke to try and make any money these days on and your "ad"...hehe....is screaming "affiliate", affiliate, affiliate".
    Keep trying, you'll get one up eventually but like I said, Craigs is getting harder and harder to make money on.
    Oh,and you might want to try using proxies when you post.

    I do still got $100 conversion from the ad I post on craiglist last time. 1 post in 30 different area. Sweet rite.. It happen to me too when I check it out. But I do still get traffic. So I guess I am okay with that.

    sounds like you got ghosted. CL is becoming harder to get ads in, even if your ads aren't spam. they also have people that just wait to flag/delete your ads if they don't like them. while CL can make you money, it's not worth it to spend all your time trying to get your ads shown. there are much more profitable ways of making money IMHO.

    Can anybody help? I am trying to post more than one ad in different cities but it says i can't because they are the same. Is it possible to post in more than one city at a time with the same ad? I appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    You probably posted too many ads from your IP or you posted an ad that contained spammy content.

    if you are able to utilize a different ip address, with different copy, you should be fine.

    if you're using a cable modem, try doin a hard reset on the modem (and on the router if your using one).
    Verify the IP before and after to notice the change.

    Dont do this too often though :)
