INTERNET MARKETING

I'm doing very bad with Craigslist. I try to post the best ads possible extra 6 hours. They include images, links, some html, buttons....but i'm still only getting about 4-8 clicks per day, and i have over 20 ads in the neighboring cities around me. I've tried posting in farther areas, but i know my ads get ghosted, because i've never received ANY clicks from ads i've posted outside the certain range that Craigslist maintains. Is Craigslist not good for traffic anymore? Or am i just really bad with it?

use the ip address of the area you are posting at, you might not get ghosted then.

Yea Craigslist sucks, because it doesn't work for you Have you given any thought that maybe it is your ad that sucks :p

Craigslist was not created to send you traffic, it was created for people to buy, sell, give away stuff, and it works very well

I believe their traffic is doing just fine. As Alex blades mentioned,
"Craigslist was not created to send you traffic"

It was created for my mom to sell her sewing machine.

But then of course IMers had to come by and start raping Craig, and when Craig seemed rapeable, IMers appointed themselves to the status of expert Craig raper, and started creating guides called "How to rape Craig" and selling them as WSO's so others could rape Craig too!

Are you raping Craig? Stop raping Craig!

It really depends where on your post and where you do it. If you're trying bizop with "make money at home systems" or loans in finance than you can forget it.

Yep, when you can't get clicks or sell shit just blame everyone and everything but yourself. Thats a sure recipe to success.

  I make a full time living from craigslist. NO, I will not tell you how I do it. If you are resourceful and take the effort to study and learn, it will still be Craig's fault
