How To Make a Clickable Image Ad for Craigslist.org
1
Click “Post to Classifieds” at the top, left corner of the screen, then browse through the list of categories for your and click the one that best fits the type of ad you want to create. Enter a post title, location, amount (if necessary) and a detailed text description.
2
Locate the point where you want to insert your clickable image ad; then click to place your cursor there. Type the following code into your ad:
<a href = “”><img src = “”></img></a>
3
Open a new tab, and navigate to the image you want to insert into your ad. In order to insert an image using HTML code, it needs to be hosted online somewhere. If this isn’t the case, upload your image to your personal Web server or a free image host, such as TinyPic or ImageShack. Right-click on the image, and click “Copy Image URL.” (I use flickr.com) from the video tutorial above.
4
Paste your image URL into your HTML code, between the quotation marks that exist within the “<img src>” tag. For example, if your image is located at “http://www.URL.com/picture.jpg,” your code would appear as follows:
<a href = “” ><img src = “http://www.URL.com/picture.jpg”></img></a>
5
Type the URL to which you want your image ad to link into the quotation marks within the “<a href>” tag. If your website is “http://www.URL.com/index.html,” your completed code would appear as follows:
<a href = “http://www.URL.com/index.html”><img src = “http://www.URL.com/picture.jpg”></img></a>
6
Click “Continue,” and review your ad to make sure it appears just as you like. Click “Continue” once again, check your email, and click the link within the message Craigslist sends you to post your ad live on the site.
