Craigslist Posting Tips

Thanks to the new phone verification, posting on Craigslist isn't exactly what it used to be. I would pay attention as many of you probably still post in the Jobs section, but ask yourself, doesn't it make sense that they will move phone verification to the jobs section next? For those that don't already know here are some tips on how I would post on Craigslist especially in the services section

• Uniqueness - Craigslist spam filters look for similarities. This includes the title of the ad and the main body. When posting your ad make sure that it is at least 20% different from any other ad you have posted. Doing this helps get around being ghosted.
• Frequency - In the services section post no more than 3 ads every 48 hours. If you exceed this limit you will get a message telling you that your posting limit has been reached. If you continue to over post you will most likely get your account blocked. A blocked account just means you can't post in the services section, you can still post in every other section on Craigslist. So having a blocked account isnt the end of the world, just an end to your services posting with that account.
• Cookies - Clean your cookies! Everyone should know this, don't forget it. Clean your cookies between accounts as if you don't it leaves a trace and Craigslist may catch onto what you are doing.
• IP - change your IP every few minutes or posts. I would post no more than 5 minutes or 20 ads using the same IP. 20 ads per IP is very high and runs the risk of getting banned. Anywhere from 5 - 10 is safer.

Anyone who has experience posting on Craigslist will already know the above tips. For the beginners they are important so please remember them.
