Craigslist issues...

YES!!!!!!! 1000000000000% YES. Craigslist is huge for me as well. I did exactly what you are considering and let me tell you it has helped a ton. Just make sure to get the prepaid that don't expire and your set for at least a year. I also agree, if someone cant make a decent chunk of change from craigslist then they need to find a way they can utilize it. It is literally a goldmine just waiting for us to prospect it. ( about 35% of my current income comes from craigslist and clients I got from it.)

Actually, I don't really know if can Craiglist making alot. but Reading from your post is actually making sense. First, maybe I will just starting to read more about Craiglist and how to they really function.

wow I guess I had alot of misconceptions about posting CL ad's

I had thought the prepaid numbers alone would not be enough, and that you had to have a corresponding IP from the local area to keep from ad's being ghosted.

How are you getting 10 ad's per number, I thought the filters etc limited it to 1 ad every 48hrs per number.

I can get the numbers cheap, but dropped the idea because of not having local ips that match that area...

How many markets are those 50 ads spread across, if you don't mind me asking?

I haven't gotten back into CL, a couple of years ago when I was doing on-site computer repair on the side I had about five functioning PVA's that I got from verifying public pay phones. I wonder if that is still a viable tactic...

I also agree craigslist gives me great results i made over 1.5k last week on craigslist alone only posting 3 ads a day (the normal limit...) I could only imagine what I could do with 100 or so ads a day ::thinks about it, runs to store to get some prepaid phones::

You have to watch out for red flags. The scams are always going to be there, but eventually you learn which are scams and what is legit.

Are we talking about advertising to try to get offline business leads? Is there a good WSO explaining the best way to do this as well as what a PVA is?

Thanks.

Direct URLs is not the problem unless your URL is banned in their system!

Posting times is also a factor, you can't post ads within a minute or two of each other.

Sometimes it takes time to reap the results. I have noticed some cities are juicier than others. The interesting thing is, I have better luck in indianapolis than I do NYC. Better luck in Seattle than Miami.

I never delete the ads.


I have been advertising offline services. However, I have used craigslist to promote offers in internet marketing. Also have used it to promote my WSO on SEO. VOIP numbers no longer work for craigslist.

Here are a few ways. Im sure @ least one of them will get this post i do deleted.

A) buy good proxies, not in a data center as they are blocked before use.
( think grey to black ) ... actually to be brutally honest, in this case the blacker the better ....

B) buy one of those modems that you have to set up your self.
every time you change the mac, u get a diff ip ( this will only allow you to post regionally - for instance - im in Daytona. and i can post all the way to Miami. and down to the pan handle )

--- Side note: do not use Bizz class internet service.
i have bizz class. and i cannot post squat any where . i have to post using just "reg" internet service, if i'm not going to use a proxy


C) rent a bunch of vps. one or two per location that you want to post in
( this has the same disadvantages as using call center proxies )

D) use an onion router. if your patient and set it up properly
it will work .... complete pain in the ass to set up tho

E) make / buy PVA's. With a pva you should be able to post pretty much anywhere, as long as you don't get filtered

F) there is an auto poster out there ( google it ) it has a plug in ... that plug in comes with geo located proxies. you can manually post with it
--- last time i looked i think it was 150 bucks a week ( and it uses back connects )
a lot of people use it, its usually good for the first wk or two of the month
and as the month gets closer to the end... the harder it is for you to post

any one of those methods will allow you to post as much as you want.
the limitations are based on the amount of pva's and or proxies

if you use a combination of pva's AND proxies, you are pretty much unstoppable.

there is a TON and i mean a TON of easy money on CL.
and you don't have to be that smart to do it iether.

my partner an i made a killing off of them for almost 2 yrs.
all cpaTank stuff. enough that we were in the top 5 for cpaTank

we stopped just before Christmas last year, because a lot of people we new were getting cease and desist orders, and sued.
We did not want any art of that at all. SO, we moved on to greener pastures

we haven't touched it since.

I hope this has been a help, and now you don't need a wso on how to post.
Save your money, your gonna need it for pva's and proxies.

also. i mentioned the cpatank and lawsuits not to brag, but as a simple warning. SO use caution.

It depends on how much you want to post. If you have a couple phone numbers you can use, that is good enough for MOST people. You can literally post 40 ads a day if you wanted per account but it just takes a while to get there. After a week of posting 3 ads a day you should be doing 20+ ads a day from that point all in one account if you do it the smart way.
