How Can I Tell If My Craigslist Ads Have Been Ghosted or Flagged?

5 replies
Can anyone provide insight?

I'm sure a competitor (or two have flagged me but I never get a notice...Someone said that you would get an email.

Also, I think I was ghosted once but is there an easy way to tell for sure?

Any information sincerely appreciated!

    You get an email if it is flagged, also if you click on the direct link the ad will no longer be there. If the ad is ghosted it is visible to you via the direct link, but you won't see it if you go to the city and category you posted it in.

      Thanks for the follow up.

      In regards to ghosting...I thought that you would see it from your computer / ip but not from others?

    You won't see it if you go to craigslist and then the category, even from your own computer. You will see it if you click on a direct link to it, like in the email they send you, but nobody else will see it either way. Make sense?

    Yeah its a pain in the butt if you post a lot of ads, you would have to check each one for ghosting.

    CL remove ads like a charm, control 60 - 100 ads it's a lot of work without a real control

    it's better to oursource the CL job to a professional team and save $$$$$$$ ( with more Success back)
