Craigslist Domination

Attached is a screenshot from Craigslist today. This particular screenshot was in the creative section under Services, and as you can see one of the advertisers has the majority of the page. Under the computer section, it's even worse.

For those of you experienced with Craigslist marketing, I have a few questions...

First off, there is barely any title variation, and all of the ads have the exact same image? Aren't these both big 'no nos' for mass Craigslist posting? Why can this poster get away with it?

Also... how are none of these ads ghosted or flagged when they span across multiple sections but are still the same ads and titles?

    They're renewing the ads, not posting new ones. With CL, the key is to get your first round of ads live... the easy part is renewing.

        Check the image source links for these ads. I bet that there are all different links.

          Guys, try right clicking on the image and opening in a new tab. Even opened, it's a little difficult to read, at least with these aged eyes.
