NO!
they dont allow cl traffic at all.

interesting! good idea there.

If MB sees your traffic coming from CL this is a problem I believe. The trick is show the traffic coming from somewhere else.

Redirect or Email something like that.

I'm pretty darn sure they won't allow it, as its a form of baiting. Stick to proper methods of promoting offers such as PPC, email and banner marketing. Works much better anyway.

Any questions just let me know,

No, you cannot promote their offers on CL.

Although you can promote your own website any way you want to.

These networks can't govern how you promote your own site.

I'm guessing you just have some of their banners on your site and you are posting your own domain on CL. If so, thats fine. Nothing to worry about.

Your best bet is to ask your AM. this will also vary offer by offer.. but I'm pretty sure most if not all offers will tell you craigslist is not allowed.. that seems to be the industry standard

jeffrey73 · 11-24-2011, 08:54 PM

I think this is only the "industry standard" with any EWA offer and certain offers from other networks. It does not apply to ALL offers. However, if you ask your AM they will always say "no" to CL.

So... just do as the Kenster suggests. DON'T direct-link, and always put them in a funnel first. Technically, they are not CL traffic after they've hit your website.

IMO, CL gets a bad rep from scammers posting fake job offers and e-whoring.

There are three general rules you should heed when advertising through CL or any other classified site, message board, social network, etc.

1- Review the terms and conditions of the site. If your ad does not comply with their T&C's, then it will not be allowed by MaxBounty or any other network.

2- Review the campaign terms. Even though your ad might comply with the T&C's of the site, that type of traffic might not be allowed on the campaign. For example, some campaigns explicitly forbid CL traffic and some campaigns forbid social network traffic of any type.

3- Do not misrepresent the campaign at all. This actually applies with any form of advertising you may do, not just on the sites above.

And if you still have questions, do as has been recommended here: Ask your AM.

Huie have started doing any redirects with your ads on craigslist? Is it getting any good traffic/hits?

cpaddiction · 11-27-2011, 07:49 PM

networks/advertisers normally can't accept referrers coming form CL, the trick is to redirect your traffic to a landing page or squeeze page to capture the leads first, then try to market your lists with all kinds of offers
