INTERNET MARKETING

I am looking to post a few ads around the area for my product. After my first ad of the day, the rest of them ghost. I've tried changing the ip address, email, cleared cookies and all private data on browswer. Still they are all ghosting and it is really hurting business.

Thanks for any help!

Just do a search of the forum, and you'll find several threads on this.

If it's hurting your business, develop a new business plan that does not rely on Craigs list.

Craigs list has a well known anti-marketer reputation now.

You might want to change the headlines. CL will ghost multiple ads that have the same headlines.
Also, you might consider an image ad that has different image names and change the size by 1 pixel so that it looks to be a different image to CL.

I have many CL clients that get a great response from their
Fast Image Ads.

  Thanks Amidala,
  I appreciate the compliment.
  There is a real art to making effective ads that get the click on craigslist.
  Using simple html for an ad has many advantages most among them is when done correctly you present a professional image to the public. This gives you credability and trustworthiness.

  Lucas is absolutely correct. Use a source like photobucket so that you are not eating up your bandwidth and CL doesn't see it as to many posts from your domain.
  This is also the case with custom .com domains you can have them redirect to another site and again CL will not see you as posting to many times.
  
  Thanks
