Craigslist Proxy - Problem Getting Ads Up On Craigslist

Ads not going live on Craigslist? Can't figure it out? There are a number of reasons why you might be having problems getting ads to stick on Craigslist. These tips should help you to get your ads to stick.

First, don't use words that you think might not be suitable for the category. When putting ads in the for sale area, don't post ads which aren't about items for sale. Craigslist uses complex filters to try and stop people from posting ads in the wrong section. Each section on Craigslist is different and most likely uses a different set of filters. Second, avoid using any special html codes outside of what Craigslist supports. Craigslist lists on their site which html codes they permit and using unsupported codes may mean your ads are blocked. Third, limit the number of posts you make per day per IP. Ideally you want to post no more than 1 ad per IP each day. Posting more than this this will work, but posting an excessive amount of ads increases the chances that you will be flagged. Finally, try to not use html imags. Some section do permit the use of html images but posting images still increases the chance your ad will be blocked. Other sections do not permit images at all and all ads with images are blocked.

Posting ads on Craigslist can be troublesome, but by following the above tips you should reduce the amount of trouble. You may also consider looking into a Craigslist proxy to improve the rate of your ads going live.
