Tips For Craigslist Multi Posting...‏

Craigslist is giving Home Seller Assist people a hard time when posting
in multiple cities. Although it's hard, it's not impossible. Over
many months, years Craigslist established many basic rules that are
universal to any category, section you're posting to.

Here are some tips that will help you in multi-posting:


* CRAIGSLIST ACCOUNTS - Craigslist started to require Phone
Verified Craigslist Accounts to almost all sections. There are few
rules you should remember before using any verified accounts.
First, don't post MORE THAN 1 ad every 24 every 1 account. I know
people were posting 3 ads a day, although in just last few days, as
I'm writing it, Craigslist started to massively blocking accounts
that had 2+ ads a day. PVA are too valuable, play it slow...

* POST DELAY - This rule is not relevant right now, but can change
anytime. Craigslist is changing constantly so you should be always
aware of the possibility that your ads get ghosted because of too
small post delay. Although in my opinion it's one of the less
important factors and you should consider testing it at the end.

* LINKS - There are some section where you won't be able to use
links. Your ad will be immediately ghosted. Other sections allow
it. To find out quickly which sections are those, go to
craigslist.org check section in few big cities and see what percent
of ads have links and which not. If you will see 5-10% without link
you should try ads with no links for better stick-rate, less
ghosting and flagging.
