Craigslist Updates?

by thatjc
5 replies
Have been posting a services ad for many months, so naturally it only shows several pages down their list.

I just reposted it after many changes in text and also removed all HTML. Yet it still is appearing far in the past. To get into today's list, what is required?
1. First delete post (via what link or method)?
2. Then rewrite (how much is enough)?

Also, hyperlinks used to work but don't seem to now. Any way to include active links?

Thanks All!

    Are you sure you confirmed the re-post? Once or twice I thought I'd re-posted it, but instead had just changed the format without hitting that ol' Submit button.

    Otherwise I don't know what the problem might be.

      For our clients, we do not post any email addresses or links in the text portion of the ad. You should include that in an image which accompanies your ad. Using any html even including bullet points, bold, etc will also increase your risk of flagging.

      Craigslist has also instituted an auto-flagging filtering software which will block ads that contain certain trigger words or characters associated with spammers or get rich quick type ads.

      Now, regarding your ads being buried, in order to keep pace with your competitors posting patterns, you'll need ads with spun titles, spun ad bodies and different phone numbers.

      Feel free to PM me if you need any further help navigating the treacherous CL waters.

        Are you having to use an IP changer and PVA's to do this? Thanks.
