Is there a way to fool craigslist and advertise in multiple cities?
The mighty Craigslist will only allow you to post one ad every 24 hours in one city. Out of the record; you can actually post up to 3 ads in any city every 24 hours per each account you have with them. If you search for article regarding Craigslist you will find tons of information that will show you how to take advantage of this high volume traffic website. Everything summarizes to one a few factors that you need to have in mind when posting in Craigslist;1. Craigslist will check for similar content in your ads
2. They will also check if your ads are coming from the same IP address
3. The time taken to post one ad from the other also counts
4. If you insert links to your website
5. If you use your phone number in every ad.
So the bottom line is this; if you want to fool craigslist and you want to be able to post ads in multiple cities and multiple times per day you need to make sure that you use not one but 2 different IP addresses. You can divide the number of posting between two IP addresses. Then stay away from similarities. You need to make sure that your ads are all different as much as possible. And finally; take your time; do not try to post all your ads at once.
Craigslist tries to find duplicates in order to avoid spam. Unfortunately your service might be one that can be sold in multiple cities so therefore you are not a spammer but there is no way for Craigslist to know that.
