Well, here's what I know about posting to CL. I think you've got to be patient and you've got to have a great subject line to entice people. It's a very competitive environment. But I think once you nail down an ad that is working well, you should do fine.
One thing I do know is that you have to be careful. I tried to post the same ad from three seperate accounts in different cities, but they were all ghosted (they said they were posted, but they were not actually there). And the reason this happened is that I have a static IP address, so some CL bot or another was logging the same IP for the three accounts, and ghosting my posts - and that's what I know  )
Cheers!

I'm posting, but I find that my ads get flagged alot, they are posted in the biz opp section so I wonder what I may be doing wrong?

I have great success on craigslist.
I post to 7 cities per day, all the same job ad.
I get flagged on some, not on others.
Its a chance, but some days I dont get flagged at all.
I have been doing it for 3 weeks now, all the same ad.
I have 135 member signups with over 100 dowlines.
Does anyone know of any other sites similar to cl?
Ive tried olx & backpage, but they are very strict & only allow 1 at a time.

You are not doing anything wrong.
Craigslist was designed to be a Local classified site. Any ad that is nationwide or considered spam will be flagged by users.
You need to keep at it and try to make your ad enticing enough for people to click, but subdued enough to not get flagge right away.
Any national ad campaign will have some posts flagged though. There are some CL users that pride themselves with flagging ads and have nothing else better to do.
Also, you might have competitors flagging ads as well.

How do you manage to post 7 ads? If I post more than 4 ads , I get the message posting limit exceeded.

I use CL but with very minimal results. I'm going to continue reading here to see if there is something I'm missing. Thanks.

For those of you who post with different email accounts, did you have to set up a different Craigslist account for each different email account?
Also, beware, I have a home child care business, and someone tried to scam me through my Craigslist ad. They were from another country, wanted to pay me ahead of time, were sending me $4000 from which I was supposed to cash and keep $1000, then send back the other $3000. Needless to say, if this check shows up at my door, I'm delivering it straight to my local police department.

I have looked at CL but it kind of intimidated me! I looked at some ads to get an idea of how I should post but I'm still lost!
Thanks for this post though...makes me want to try and see if I can it it!
