Craigslist is Pi$$ing me OFF!

Well, not so much Craigslist themselves, it's more like the affiliate
marketers that are making me mad. I just started a business logo
design company, so my main source of traffic is through Craigslist
until I launch my wso next week.

Anyhow I posted one ad, and 30 minutes later I'm getting swarmed
with affiliates who try to scam hard working individuals such as myself
to these "wanna be" classified sites or survey sites....AHHHH

I wish I could just reply to them with a virus in the email to teach them
a lesson, but I am a strong believer in Karma...what goes around comes
around.

...okay I feel better now, I just had to rant for a quick second

    Craigslist is a Mad House! I get random emails from my ads as well and it is annoying but these guys send out thousands of emails a day and it becomes a numbers game to them. Not sure how to combat it.

    I don't often even look on Craigslist anymore. Not worth the spam!

    I agree, since it became so easy to harvest the emails it has gotten really bad...you have to wade through the junk to get to the actual leads, ughhhh.

    Yeah ... affiliate marketers have pretty much destroyed what used to be a really great site. I used it a lot to find stuff and enjoyed reading the Best of Craigslist. Haven't been there in a long time .... nothing but spam
