Everyone is talking about geotargeting on CL while I see a large number of ads posted without any geo targeting. It does not fit together
Maybe some of the large proxy providers became "ghost-banned" by Craigslist ?
I also heard about recent troubles when you are from New York.
I can only speak for myself (http://www.seo-proxies.com) and that I've customers ordering more proxies for Craigslist regularly ..
Ghosting is usually based on ad content.
But yes multimedia: it can be very hard to be successful on Craigslist, it's a hard place to start but can also be very rewarding if you learn the bits
Go for it, it's not expensive to start on Craigslist.
You'll have to find out yourself if it is the right place for you, many people make good money and many people give up or outsource.
About IP-rental: they are shared .. it's not even a ghosting problem there .. it's simply the problem that they do not have a useable number non-PVA banned IPs anymore.
And shared proxies are a no-go for PVAs. So it's pretty useless for CL in my opinion.
