Craigslist trick...Avoid getting your posts flagged or removed!!!

Stephen Clark · 07-06-2009, 10:51 PM

I did a search here, but didn't see this tactic mentioned anywhere, so I thought I'd share with everyone...

One of the problems with CL marketing is having similar posts flagged and removed. Here is how I keep most of mine from that bitter ending...

Instead of typing an ad up, try creating a jpg image of the ad and then inserting it into the post.

For those that don't have Photoshop, just type up your ad in Word or OpenOffice, select all, then open up your Paint program and paste. Then save it as a jpg file.

Next, upload the pic to Photobucket.com (create a free account if you don't already have one).

When it's uploaded, it will give you a link below the pic. Copy that link, then insert it into your CL post by itself.

Now, all CL sees is an image instead of text. Therefore, it can't compare the content to your other posts and flag you for having similar text.

Hope this helps some folks!

To your success!

I heard this tip on another place 6 months ago, but it's always great to get again. It helps my motivation and turns me on on craigslist again

By the way, do any of you use other classified ads directories? I also use usfreeads and adlandpro.

Can you successfully attach a link to the image to send viewers to your site, or does the ad get dropped?

Thanks for the excellent tip! Maybe I should try Craigslist again?
