Thinking About Having My Guy Post Ads To Craigslist Sites All Day For 2 Weeks

by JasonParker

I'm thinking about having my guy I outsource to post ads all over Craigslist sites for a couple weeks in a row.

Anybody have any tips?

Like how not to get banned?

How do I avoid my ads being marked as spam?

Do you know if they can rip the same ad from all of the Craigslist sites at once?

Should I have multiple e-mail accounts?

Should I use multiple ads?

Should I use multiple URLs?

Can you use redirect URLs?

    You should probably do something more productive.

    Your ads will be marked as spam by users and the system mods, and the system in general depending on how quickly you do it.

    If your ads will actually help people and be placed in the right area, that will help.

    Yes, they can rip all of the ads you've posted from all areas of craigslist, and they will.

    You would need many seperate email accounts.

    You'll need very different ads, just to post, let alone keep from getting caught and IP banned.

    Yes, you'll need multiple urls.

    You could use Redirect urls, but by that point, you're likely to have been caught and banned.

    When I was having any real success on craigslist, I was posting well over 5,000 ads a day, and had several computers set up to constantly reconnect in and out of dialup service for fresh IPs. Eventually I had gotten my entire local pool of IPs banned and was dropped from my provider.

    It's not worth your time to post on craigslist 99% of the time.

    Have your guy write articles all day, you'll see faster, better results if done properly.

    Money isn't real, George. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does.

      Thanks for the tips man.

      Yeah, might not be the right route.

      My guy can't speak English all that well and I'm running out of things for him to do. I feel bad letting him go, so I'm trying to think of more things to do. But from an economical standpoint, yeah, based on your reply, I guess I ought to let him go and put that money into articles or my ad campaigns.

    No reason you can't give him something else to do.

    Could very easily write him a few JV or Linkswap templates and have him cold-email every related site on the internet...

      That's not a bad idea at all.
