Advertising on Craigslist

[soccer-boy]

I read on here that a lot of you guys advertise your affiliate products on craigslist, so i thought id give it a shot, however whenever I post my listing gets removed what section am i supposed to post in, and what succes levels do you have when advertising on craigslist??

CL is very tricky to get ads to stick. If you are sending the link straight to an aff page I think they remove them immediately. The best thing to do is make your ad sound real and send them to a landing page.

I am not sure but I think they might have built in logic to detect redirects as well

buy a url, and dont use a referral link. Cloak the referral link with your url and you should be fine.

I dont think that they can detect redirects, ive used them before and they weren't removed.

Just make the ad sound genuine and original, not a normal sales pitch...

I think its maybe to do with the area you list in as well, as i had been linking to my own url, not affiliate and it was still being flagged for removal straight away :S

I'll keep tinkering away at it though.

I've placed a few adds on Craigslist before, mainly when I was running my modeling/talent agency. The best thing to do is post under the correct listing, and pretty much offer something that people reading that listing would want... I.E: Don't go under the "Babysitting" listing and put up an ad for a porn site. Crude example, but it gets the point across, lol. Keep trying, and if they keep kicking you on one account, get another one, and try again.

I think my IP has been banned which is a real shame as I had just started out on craigslist and wasnt accustomed to categories etc. any alternatives to craiglist??
