Her are the facts about Craigslist posting and account creation.

So here we go…..

1. Flagging CL ads

Are your Craigslist constanly flagged? People often think that their ads are flagged because of IP address or their Craiglist account.

The truth is that Craigslist Users flag Ads, not CL itself. Your ads are flagged for one of the reasons.

A. You are posting spam Ads. You might post same Ads to frequently or the reason might be posting location.

B. Your competitors that are selling similar products are flagging your Ads. They will simply flag your Ads and remove competition.

2. CL Ads Ghosting

This might be a huge problem, you think your Ads appeared on CL but they are in fact ghosted. People blame their IP address, CL accounts. From my experience your Ads are ghosted if you post from Europe to American section of CL. But usually this happens because of Ads content.

Content in your Craigslist Ad is causing the CL filters to ghost your Ad. So you shoud simply try different content, rinse and repeat until you find the solution. Change suspicious words in your title and body until your Ad sticks.

Try not to use words or urls that might be associated with spam Ads.

3. Craigslist Account suspension

Is your PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS suspended? The most common reasons for ads suspension are not accepting posting guidelines.

You have to make your posts using unique IP address for each post. To do this you can either use dial up, reset your dynamic IP (restart computer), hijack wireless from other people, use a wireless air card or pay for proxies. Any of those methods will work, so use whatever suits you the best.

Now that you have solved the IP issue you will need to make sure that you are not posting more than 1 Craigslist Ad per 24 hours per IP. This is if you are using PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS. Non-PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS posting can sustain anywhere from one to roughly six or seven posts per day without running too high of a risk of getting blacklisted/blocked.

I repeat: If you want your accounts to last, post 1 AD per 24 hours per account each with a unique IP address.

4. IP address issues

1. If you post too many ADs from one IP address PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS or non-PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS; your IP address will be blocked from using CL without having a PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS for every post. People call this the soft block, as you are not really blocked... just restricted to having to use a PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS for everything (good for my business, lol).

So how many posts does it take to get banned? 10 posts per day from same IP might get your accound blocked.

2. When posting with a PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS make certain to post 1 AD per IP per 24 hours. PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTSs require much more strict posting guidelines than do NON-PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS posts.

3. When creating accounts you need not worry about matching IP's, phones and posting locations. As I have previously mentioned; one can use a San Diego IP Address, make their PHONE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS with a New York phone number and post ADs in Las Vegas CL. There is no GEO matching for this stuff... not yet at least. The only geo ip filtering is done on a country of origin level.

Here is another good program called PR STORM. This tool is one of the black hat tools. What it does is it automatically builds oneway links. It is referral spamming program that many spammers use.

With this tool you can generate links from indexed visitor logs, webmaster sees the referral in his log and he thinks you are linking to his site but you are not. So he might link back and this way you get a link for free.

You can generate traffic from webmasters visiting your site.

But be careful, with this tool you are spamming few thousands sites, depends on how big the list of urls is. There are several thousands sites already included in the program, but these have already been heavily used so it is better that you make your won list. You can use some kind of link harvester to harvest url links. 

And use it only once per week for few hours, otherwise your site might get banned from search engines.

Drupal already has clean URLs and that is a big plus, you don’t need a special module for clean SEO friendly URLs. It needs a module for meta tags called node words but that can be easily added. But there are still some glitches that can be improved. The best way is to do it manually.

You know that SE don’t like duplicate content. And this is exactly what is happening inside Drupal site. With proper structure that is SEO friendly you can significantly increase the traffic to your site.

Drupal And Duplicate Content

For example your Drupal site can have 2 exact URLs, one points to a file and the other to directory.

http://mysite.net/articles/Drupal-SEO
http://mysite.net/articles/Drupal-SEO/

So on a normal Drupal site with clean URLs enabled Drupal will show the same content for both these links. This is useful because people can link to either one and not get a 404 error.

But regarding SEO, having 2 pages with same content might hurt you bad. This is known as duplicate content in SEO world.
Duplicate content can reduce your traffic. There is a simple solution for this Drupal SEO problem.

Redirecting Drupal with the .htaccess File

Every Drupal site has a .htaccess file that tell your server how to handle your sites URLs. So you need to just add 3 custom lines at the end of your .htaccess file so the server will automatically remove any trailing slashes in URLs.
#remove  trailing slashes

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?seoandwebdesign\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

This is the code that works. The trailing trashes are removed from URLs. Instead of my site SEOandwebdesign.com use your URLs and also change the .com in the code if your site is .net or .org.

So the search engine bot will be redirected to the correct URL. This way you can protect your site against duplicate content.

Using robots.txt To Hide Duplicate Pages

We're not done yet, there's still some duplicate content to take care of. Here's our next example:

http://seoandwebdesign.com/articles/Drupal-SEO
http://seoandwebdesign.com/node/44

(I am using the URLs of my site seoandwebdesign.com that is actually a Joomla site not Drupal, so bare that in mind, replace my domain name with yours. )

Again here are 2 URLs with the same content but different URLs. Google does not know that and your site will trigger Google duplicate content trigger. So each page with friendly URL has also a default node URL that has to be excluded from Google index.
To do that you just simply add this line to your robots.txt file.

Disallow: /node/

Not all the search engine bots will ignore all the node URLs and that will eliminate duplicate content problem.
But if there are some pages that do not have custom set URLs, and have only node URL, those pages will not be indexed at all. SO be careful to set each page with friendly URL and insert some keywords in URL. You can use pathauto module to automatically generate URLs.

Drupal Global Redirect Module

You can also use this module Global Redirect module that will forward all of your /node/ URLs to the proper alias, and it even removes trailing slashes for you. If you have recently started to use SEO friendly aliased URLs instead of simple node ones, this module is your best choice.

But if you have used aliased URLs from the start this won’t be an issue for your site. I prefer setting robots.txt and .htaccess files manually, and reduce the module server load.

I was just reading about this method, it is a really cool one. Basically you make people to submit resumes to different affiliates and get payed. Some people are making 150 USD per day and posting like 150 ads per day. Posting 150 ads per day could be tricky but still it can be done, you need several CL accounts, and you need to use proxies of different ip adresses. I will really start doing this stuff soon myself. 

You just need to find few affilaites that pay per submission and viola, money is coming in.

1) get a guy to post jobs ads for you on CL.
2) make him post ads of all sorts.. office secretary etc... everything!
3) you will get resumes in the email id you have given.
4) put in auto responder that you have received too many resumes and they need to complete a personality test so that you can analise their applications better.
5) send them to a page like mine (described below)
6) it looks legit and i don't care what they fill
7) they will fill it and go to page 2 ie (described below)
8) on that page they will be asked to fill ur email submits and they WILL fill atleast one!!
9) on the 3rd page u tell them to "f@#k off" in a polite way... ie (described below)
10) dont forget to spread in all networks and not do more than $50/network and faking the reffer and send some crappy traffic to lower conversion rates they will be above 25% even after the scrubbing!!

I just had this problem on my site and it was making me crazy. I felt so pissed again. Simply I could not upload images directly from editor so I had to use ftp to manually upload images first and then choose them in editor.

Well the problem is with flash. So if it is not working for you just do this

Go to: administration mode
Menu: Site, Global Configuration
Choose: Enable Flash Uploader [No]
