Is Craigslist to CPA dead?

I'm curious if Kenster has had all his commissions paid out from his CL traffic over the year since this thread was started?

Found this thread interesting, so I checked with one of my AM's ...they said as long as it's not direct link from CL and the offer allows it, they're ok with it....

Yep, some will consider it web traffic if there are layers in between, many will not.

I personally haven't had any commissions denied due to craigslist traffic but my most recent craigslist endeavors have been list building not CPA offering. Bigger fish to fry and I now try and focus on sustainable campaigns that work more autopilot. Craigslist is a lot of work and is always changing

I think most EDU pubs use email marketing and making $10k a day, i'm thinking if they are using craigslist to email EDU offers.

But what you can do is, instead of referring the visitor straight to the advertisers page, why dont you refer the visitor to your site it will some benefits.

1. Your website traffic increase.
2. Search engine rating will increase, as people who had visited your site will refer to their friends.
3. Visitors have more offers to use from, intsead of one offer when you send them to the advertiser page.
4. least but not last, you increase the value of your website, which you may sell if it gains so much traffic.

Cheers ,and good luck.

This thread is interesting. Was thinking of getting into marketing on Craigslist and other classified sites.

Is it still an effective place to market or is it dead?

Any suggestions of method/techniques to use?

Yep, take a look through this thread. The main thing is that you normally want to direct CL traffic to a hub first and then monetize from there or even further upstream.

A lot of people don't "get" this concept, but its important to get so you don't get in trouble and so everybody wins in the supply chain equation!
