Re: Spamming classifieds to build a list
You guys want to know the honest to goodness god fearing truth about Craigslist? Do 1-2 posts a day and you will be 100% fine. Dont make it spammy, make it sound like a service YOU are offering. Dont go to some overdone category. Either ask them to email you for information or post a link to your site. Get 1-2 domains and use the webmaster@that domain when you promote that domain. The problem is when people go overboard craigslist makes it harder for ALL of us. They are known to track down your IP's location and if you are posting in the right city, bam its never going to show up on the list of posts, you can of course see if your the link they email you, but they never send anyone to it.
Just do 1-2 posts a day on CL, 1-2 posts a day somewhere else, 1-2 posts a day somewhere else, and on and on, if you do not have a full time programmer, then do many things SMALL or you will be screwed. Find a couple things like CL and do all of them in moderation. Dont put all your eggs in one basket and then the basket breaks and your eggs are well all nasty and runny and you are gonna have to shower.
So, GOOD THINGS IN MODERATION. Dont overuse CL, dont overuse BRRING.com, If you do it big you bring attention to yourself. You know that spam buttom on CL posts? Well I know many people with bots to flag competitors as spam immediately!
