I was wondering if i placed ads on Craigslist and Backpage if it would create backlinks?
I have been making money with direct ads on Backpage with an autoposter but was thinking of trying it for backlinks

Thanks Fellow warriors, This forum rocks

    I can't speak for Backpage but know that Craigslist is a waste of your time. Craigslist purges old threads, which means that eventually your posting will vanish from Craigslist. Not to mention the whole Clist posting is NoFollowed anyways.

    There are much better methods to getting backlinks than attempting to game Clist, and probably Backpage too.

      I will try backpage since i have an autoposter. If it works I will post thread of success.
      thanks

      I once put and ad for a new site on craigslist and the ad ranked higher than my site in the serps for a couple weeks.

      It did send something like 60 uniques if I remember, and I only placed it in Dallas. And had no copy in the ad.

      So some decent traffic could come from craigslist if used properly, but no search engine help will be gained.

      And like the other poster pointed out it will be purged in time.

    Keep in mind that posting on Backpage will only be so effective since the links will all be coming from the same domain/IP.

    Diversify your incoming links from different domains and IPs for best results.

      Thanks, My autoposter changes my Ip address per post. I can put up to 400 ads a day automatically, but i limit it to 100. It costs me 1 cent per post to beat captca code.
      I know it eventually is removed after 60 days or so, but my ability to post can overcome that.
      thanks JB
