Hi Warriors:

Update December 2013, they were able to get the issue rectified.

I am attempting to help somebody that wants to post ads

Could you please tell me on Backpage.com when placing an ad how do I change for example www dot anywebsite dot com

to:
Click Here

On Craigslist you can use


When you post the link changes to Click Here.

They tried Hyperlinks from a Word Document and it that normally works but again not on Backpage.

I did see some ads where Click Here brought you to a website/affiliate product, thus it can be done.

Thank you so much.

  • They might have blocked it.
    Many websites disable any html tags in comments to avoid XSS hacking or just simply to avoid unwanted ads.

    • Thanks for reply.

      They did not block it because there is an ad that had "Click Here" and it takes you to a Clickbank product. There is a work around and that is what I am hoping somebody can explain.

      Thank you.
  • What url were you trying to hyperlink as you sometimes have to cloak your links with BackPage as some links do get rejected.

    PM if you are interested and want to know what I use to cloak all of my links so that I never have this problem.

    • Hi Misterwalt:

      I was able to rectify the issue for the person.

      Some links the same as Craigslist are blocked so a redirect script (PHP) helped.

      Thank you.
