How To Post Unlimited Craigslist Ads In As Many Cities And States As You Wish
First off if you're looking to post massage ads, adult ads, or private dancing, you don't have to worry about
any of the following. Just go to Body Rub USA and you can post as many ads as you'd like for FREE. It's an
adult classified site only and you will get lots of traffic. But if you're looking to post regular ads on CL here's
some great advice I've learned from experience.
Headings:
The biggest myth I hear is that you need a unique title for every ad. This is absolutely not true. A common
order for me from a customer is 100 ads per day. I use about 3 different titles rotated evenly for these 100
ads without problem. There are some words that are filtered and your ad may not show up if you use one of
these in the title. Just test a few titles until you find a few that you like.
Hint*** You can add a few numbers at the end of the posting if you want it to be unique from the others.
It's not of high importance, but this simple method can make every title unique if you really want them to be
different.
Ad Content:
I'll start by telling you that I never use a text ad. There are too many words that will raise red flags with CL
and if you have one of these in your ad body, it could cause your entire ad to be ghost posted. I make every
ad into a picture file. If you don't know how to do this, it is very simple. You can use something as simple as
paint, and just insert a text box and type your ad out how you want it to appear. Then, you just save it as a
picture. It can be simple black text with a white background, and once it is on CL, you can hardly even tell it
is a picture. It just looks like a normal ad. The CL spiders can't pick up certain words in your picture,
because obviously there is no text there, just a picture. Now, here is another myth that I have heard straight
from the mouth of one of the top experts out there, as well as many others. CL has not banned
photob*ucket. I post over 1000 ads a day, and all of my ads show up fine with all my pictures hosted on
photo*bucket. Once you have developed your picture, you just need to upload it to photob*ucket. Upload
it more than once so that you have multiple links to use. The standard rule that I use is uploading 20 pictures
for every 100 posts per day. So if you post 100 ads, you would use each link 5 times. CL does ban your
individual picture link if it is used too much. The good thing about this is that you can just upload new pictures
and be good to go again. Just make sure you have fresh picture links regularly. Now, here is a very important
part. Every ad body on CL does have to be somewhat unique. If you have a different picture link for every
ad, then that is fine. You can keep the same name on each picture you upload, and photob*ucket can make
them all unique. However, if you just put the link in the ad body, chances are that CL will notice it and delete
your ad faster. It is good to include a bunch of invisible random text in the ad that relates to the category you
post in. The best thing to do is look at someone in that category that has a lot of ads up. Highlight there entire
ad or view their source, and usually you will find a bunch of invisible text. You can just copy their invisible
text and put it directly into your ad also. This just hides the link a little better in a sea of text. I normally put a
few lines of text before the picture link and then the rest of the text after the link.
The most important thing is just making sure that each ad body is somewhat unique and has some random
text related to your category. Make sure you get new pictures every day or two. You can never have too
many pictures links to use.
Emails/CL Accounts:
You can use either of these with equal success. Let's start by talking about email addresses. You need to be
able to create a bunch of these. I would say the normal rule I use is to have about 50 email addresses for
every 500 ads you post. I normally get 50 new emails every 4 or 5 days. Sometimes you need them sooner,
but I have seen 50 email addresses post 5,000 total ads and still work, but I wouldn't recommend trying that.
It is best to make sure you have fresh emails as often as possible. If you choose to go the email route, you
MUST take this step to ensure to save yourself hours of time. Make sure that you forward every email
address to one central email so that you can check them and publish them from one central account. As long
as you rotate ip's regularly (I discuss this more below), there is no way for CL to know that all 50 emails are
being checked from one central account.
CL accounts use basically the same method. Make sure you have lots of fresh accounts pretty regularly. The
good thing about posting from an account is that you don't have to check an email every time you post. It just
takes longer to create the emails and the accounts. The bottom line no matter which route you go is just
make sure that you have lots of fresh emails/accounts.
IP Rotating:
This really is the single most important part in making sure your ads show up. You must rotate ip addresses
regularly. I usually rotate ip's every 5 posts. Sometimes you can post 15 ads or so on 1 ip, but that's starting
to push it and I like to stay safe. There's a lot of talk about how to rotate your ip addresses, but I've found
one way to be far superior. Most people try to use proxies, but I've never found this to work for me. Here's
the way I use, and it's never failed me. Go out and get a sprin*t broadband card. It's like $60 per month and
it changes ip's every time you disconnect and reconnect, which takes about 10 seconds. I have a lot of these
that I use, but I started with just 1, and it worked wonders. I only have more than 1 now because I post on
multiple computers and need one for each. One should serve you just fine if you're posting from one
computer at a time. You're welcome to use proxies if you know how to do it successfully, but I'm telling you
exactly how I do it and how it works for me.
Links in Your Ad:
There's a lot of talk about using links in your ad, and whether it gets your ad deleted quicker, etc. I
personally do not use a hyperlink in my ads very often. When you create your ad in paint or whatever picture
program you use, just make the link bigger than the other text and change its color or something. If you make
it stand out, people won't have a problem typing it in, and the good thing about that is that if you're promoting
an affiliate offer, your affiliate company can't tell where the visitor came from. I build a personal opt in list
through CL, and I have much more success this way. I tested one day with ads with a clickable link, and ads
with the URL in the picture, and the results where overwhelming. I had over 130 optins from my picture ad,
and less than 40 with my ads with the link clickable. The reason is because CL does not like clickable links,
and they look to delete your ad quickly if they notice it. A lot of my ads with the clickable link got deleted,
while the pictures all stayed up. If you are someone who would rather have a clickable link, then just buy
some cheap .info domains and use subdomains to forward to your site. CL will ban your link before too
long, but you can continue to purchase new domains. Do not waste your time using tiny*url or other redirect
services as CL has almost all of them banned already. Just be creative and make your URL stand out in your
picture, and you will be fine.
Flagged Ads:
Some of your ads will get flagged, but don't get discouraged. I think there are people out there that live for
flagging ads. Just repost and move on. There is nothing you can do about this, and you're not doing anything
wrong when this happens. You'll see your ad flagged more often if you're posting in a category where your
ad doesn't fit very good. Just find the best category and go with it.
That's exactly what I do. If your ads stop showing up, simply do an inventory and figure out what you think
might need changed (ex. Emails/accounts, picture links, etc
Happy Postings!
