Craigslist Flaggers Driving Me Nuts

[Todd]

I've been posting some LEGIT ads to Craigslist in a few different cities and for some reason certain cities are so much more picky than others in terms of flagging.

These people are click happy on the flag link. What is wrong with these people? Any tips to prevent flags in general?

Depends on what the ads are for...

Some people that use Clist to push certain niches will flag any competing ads.

yeah i'm getting the feeling some competitors are flagging down - could be part of it

Obviously your ads are not legit.

they are. been using craigslist for many years.

Study similar ads that stay up for a day or two. It may seem legit to you, but flaggers know.

Cl flaggers are asshats.

craigslist is tough nowadays but still very possible to make a buck on.

If they are truly legit then why are you asking an Affiliate Marketing forum?

Exactly.

it is aggravating thats why i ventured away from CL because competitors love flagging ads

I've read on another forum that many people outsource that. Some even use proxy bank driven scripts based on certain keywords and phrases and those are fed to an outsource pool which then manually review and flag as needed.

So... the trick is to use words that are not on their radar or use pictures (if applicable).

People people, please understand the difference between something being legal, and something breaking the TOS.

 

[turbolapp]

Who said anything about illegal, he said legit.

I've been doing pretty well with CL. Depends on the city, I guess.

thats why i posted in in the "shooting the shit" section. these posts getting flagged on craigslist have nothing to do with affiliate marketing.

when i say "legit" i mean it is legal and as far as i know complies with what craigslist would consider cool to post.
