Does craigslist flag ads which link to the same url? regardless of which acct is linking out?

this is not necessarily for CPA, its related to another business IM related where I want to post with craigslist

also other free classified ads alternatives you would recommend? (that you have used)

  • The RULE:

    If you're legit and doing things under rules and not breaking their TOS then they cant ban or disable you!

    This rule applies everywhere

    • You must not post on CL. Users, not staff, flag posts on CL. Once your post has enough flags, it's suspended.

      Last year, I was posted half a dozen times for my day job (computer repair) in a 600k pop city. I don't actually service that city, I'm 45 mins away, but it's the nearest CL city. Twice I had my ad suspended. The second time, I got an angry email from a "competitor" who actually serviced the big city(not my area). Basically he said: "you stop flagging my posts, and I'll stop flagging yours."

      Back on topic, I tried posting the same ad in two different areas (for a different service). It stopped me at the preview/confirm screen.
  • U cant post the same ad to different areas from the same account

    I am going to use CL service, those guys have 100s of accts no problem there
    I was just wondering if CL auto detects urls referred to in the ads and assumes they are the same poster if the url is the same, regardless if they are coming from the same acct

    if they do, then I was thinking PERHAPS, subdomains would not raise any flags

    Anyone who is saying, oh this breaks TOS of CS, LOL how many of us backlink the heck out of our own sites hoping to get a top listing on google. That breaks googles TOS but nobody cares. thats the only way you can get high listings most of the time. No backlinks, good luck getting your site viewed
