Craigslist Proxy - Can’t Get Ads On Craigslist

Ads aren’t appearing on Craigslist? Unsure as to what is causing the problem? This could be due to a number of reasons why you might be having problems getting ads to go live on Craigslist. Here are a few tips to help you out and hopefully get your ads to go live.

First, don’t use words that you think might not be suitable for the category. If posting to the for sale section, avoid posting unrelated ads such as work at home ads. 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 may block any ads which use html codes that are not supported by their site. Third, limit how many ads you post from any one 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.
