I have had my Craigslist ads deleted like crazy! Just trying to figure out how to do it. I confess, I also tried mass postings. I gave up....I was spending more time trying to get my ads to stick than if I just posted 5 - 10 each day. But, I will say, they never stopped me from posting.

I am sure, eventually, they might would. But you can always get your ads on Craigslist somehow. Use different email addresses and get a dynamic IP address. I even went as far as to sign up for a free website hosting that only forwarded to my real URL.

After all this, I found the time was not worth it. I post my ads in the major cities once a day. If you need more tips, just email me.

Default Posting to Craigslist

Are you getting results with your postings Workingnaked? If so, is it due to the consistency of your postings or is the content of your ads or maybe it is both? What do you feel is helping you to bring success?

I have been getting good traffic from a number of classified sites. It does not help in SEO, but it does help in drawing traffic.

Again, how is this accomplished? Advertising in the classifieds has not been working for me thus far. I am still learning and this is one area in which I want to improve. Any suggestions on what I need to do to draw more traffic from my classified ads?

I don't know how long your ad is but i usually keep mine only about 3 short lines of info and then my web address. Give that a shot and see how it works. Also keep your postings to craigslist to a maximum of 3/day.

I've seen some outrageous ads on Craigslist, I don't know if they got traffic or not. I think also that if you post in a busy city like New York that your ad disappears more quickly.

I think craigslist is for local people looking for jobs. promoting internet biz will be difficult.
now what hot on internet marketers are own niche social network site, own membership site, video viral marketing.

Get out of craigslist, if you are not selling real product or service.

What do you mean by a real service or product? I market a service and a product. The service is my home-based business. The product is the healthy coffee which is also one of my other streams of income in my primary business. Are these not a real service and a real product.

Craigslist is easy free and I always get at least a few hits from it every week. I don't sell a product, I promote home based business and for the amount of time it takes me to post 3 ads/day it is well worth it. The main thing is that it is free.

What i mean is car for sale, local job opening, renting homes, selling goods are real service and products.
Look i do mobile mechanic service and sell HHO generator(which enhance engine performance), I sell HHO kit easier if i have them in stock.

If you post ad on Dallas TX, what kind of service can i get? Do you come over my house and brew fresh coffee?

Real service is handyman, plumber, house cleaning etc. Those ads pull response.
