Thanks for the replies guys. I started taking it slow after 2 days of making $20 each day because I don't want to do anything too hasty. I want to do everything possible to try to not get banned from Adsense because I know it will work good (as long as I don't get banned). I've decided on a few precautionary steps that I am taking:
1. So far, I've set up 100 co.cc domains and set them all to forward to my website. This way, almost every CL ad will link to a different domain and also no traffic will be coming from craigslist.
2. I made a second "backup" website that looks 100% legit. On the 20th of every month, I'm going to switch the websites so that the legit looking one is in place. After the adsense payment goes through, I will revert back to the made-for-adsense landing page. This I decided to do simply because it seems that any manual reviews take place a few days before payments are sent out, so my hope is that if they do a manual review, they will see this legit website instead of the made-for-adsense landing page. One thing I still need to do is add a meta tag on my MFA landing page so that the page will not get indexed and only the legit looking website gets indexed. The "changeroo" on the 20th of every month will be easy. All I need to do is rename index.phpBACK to index.php, and rename index.php to index.phpBACK, and then rename them vice-versa after the adsense payment goes through. This is kind of like cloaking but it's manual and the effectiveness will rely on whether they look at the website on the 20th or later, and not a day before.
3. I'm going to buy some traffic from a seller here on BHW that supposedly is safe for adsense. I'll be doing this soley to dilute my traffic source (co.cc domains). In the end, I'll have traffic coming from 100 different co.cc domains, and about 1,000 or so random domains.
Who knows if all this will be enough to not get banned from adsense, but we'll see how it goes.
I'm going to continue posting the ads myself until they start getting ghosted, and then I will either buy some PVA's or hire someone else to post my CL ads. I'm not sure which option will be the most cost-effective.
If anyone has any advice or ideas, let me know!
