Do Craigslist ads get indexed in Google? Mine's not.

I've heard several people say that you can get some link juice by putting a contextual backlink in a craigslist ad even though Craigslist is nofollow. I've also heard you can get a craigslist ad to rank well if you link to its specific page since Craigslist is a huge authority site itself. I'm basically trying both at the same time with a keyword-optimized ad. I've thrown some backlinks to the ad and done everything necessary but it's been about 2 weeks and the thing is still not indexed in Google. Will it ever be?

I used to post daily from one account, 3 different ads, and yes they got indexed. I would see the links in webmaster tools.

@john. Its just only you've heard those things about craigslist why are you depending on it, you said it that it is a no follow so how can you tell that if you link to this your site it will be rank up, how easy is that?
