Craigslist vs. Newspaper

.

You’re also able to post in HTML in CL. The thing is, if you hide everything in the HTML code, CL can’t search your keywords so they have to be added at the bottom.

You can create your own HTML template or go to USE.com and they have hundreds of templates available. They’re pretty simple to use and manage. Use.com also stores your pictures for you.

See my examples:
Home made template
use.com template

and if you want to spice up your emails, HTML is easy to send using Mozilla’s Thunderbird.

Damn, you need to come work for me if you work for such low wages. I am always amazed at how many people are sucked into these kind of deals just looking for the cheapest bid in town.

Chris,
How many ad’s are above you after you posted?

Oh Im not sure… I havent checked… Probably wont. May just post up a different variation every couple of days

Good looking ad. In my area if you looked up window cleaning on CL right now you would see almost 20 of my competitors. To stay anywhere near the top you need to repost every hour during the day. It can work but it is time consuming. Most of the people posting in my area are posting 10+ ads a day to keep theres on top. I know it will only let you post 3 a day or 8 a week per account and each account has to be phone verified with seperate phone numbers for each account.(May be different for your area) but in my area competition is huge on there. I really only post a few a week now for SEO purposes only.

There is no SEO advantage to posting on craigslist. All their postings are coded as do not follow. The advantage you do get is your ad may show up in a google search as a craigslist ad. If the ad is not more than 45 days old they can click through to it.

It creates popularity and traffic for SEO purposes.

what’s that about?

Whatever it was, it doesn’t exist anymore.

What was it?

He had gone into his account and copied the link of his CL ad from his “post management” section instead of the actual, live post.

500 jobs or $500?

500 screens. Sorry I wasn’t clear enough.

Thats a nice ad…

Does anyone still use cl adds?

I post one up every now and again

A lot of my rezzy work comes from crags list.

I’m about to start taking advantage of CL but my local classified newspaper add has made me 2-3 grand in the past month or so. Every area is different of course.
