The guy that wrote that book are the root of the strategy I was mentioning earlier. Due to the strategies in that book coupled with our SEO, we had our first week with 1,000+ unique visitors on our site last week

We use seven different accounts to post. With gmail, if you add the plus symbol and words after email addy, the emails will all go to your regular gmail account.

For example username@gmail.com is the same as username+mon@gmail.com and username+tue@gmail.com. Now all you need are seven verifiable phone numbers

Lately I've gotten fed up with Craigslist. I post an ad or 2 and then have to phone verify. Do so then 2 ads later have to again. Wait 3 days, post an ad and have to verify.

Has anybody else run into this?

I keep seeing people say it's a great place to get leads and when I was able to easily use it I saw spikes in web traffic. But it's getting more cumbersome to deal with. Not sure it's worth the trouble. Even created a new account and same thing happens to it.

I got that the other day. I guess it's to keep robo-posters or "flood posters" at bay.

btw, my craigslist landing page did squat but I'm closing on the house on Friday anyway. LOL

I don't do CL as often as they say you should mostly cause it's a pain and I have other more important things to do.

If you really want to get responses from CL then you pay people to post for you html ads. You can get it done for 25 cents an ad and have them done 10+ times a day which greatly increases response. A little black hat but it gets the job done...

Get some one at fiverr to make you a nice html ad. Then use Freelancer to find low cost posters. Post in one city or several, depending on your goals.

We use three accounts, one for Mon, one for The and one for Wed so that we don't have to worry about that 48 hour repost rule.

We post an average of 30 ads per day an get about 3 leads from them. All ads are text only and drive people back to our site for photos and pricing.

I hope this helps.

I post once a week on CL and I get that verification page all the time. Annoying!
