First I'm going to start out by posting a bunch of plain text posts. No images or links to images will be included. Just simple text using simple HTML markup when needed. Like using <b> when I want something to be BOLD and to stand out. Nothing fancy or complicated here. Just HTML 101.
I will also include a single hyperlink to my website after my ad. My goal is to drive people to my website and have them take action there.
On every post I change the Posting Title. So every posting title is unique.
The body of my ad will stay the same except for the following exceptions:
- I have bullet points similar to these. The bullet points will remain the same. However the order in which they appear will be different.
- In the body of my text, I will make one change. I will include the city name that I am posting to in the body of my text ad.
- The hyperlink to my website will remain the same. However, the anchor text will change completely.
I used 3 email accounts, 3 separate IP addresses, and cleared my cookies between each posting session. I made 3 Craigslist postings on each Craigslist account for a total of 9 posts.
On one account, I was successful at posting ratio was 1:3. One ad was posted, the other two were ghosted. On another account my posting ratio was 2:3. And on the last account I got a trifecta, 3:3.
So when all things were said and done, after posting a total of only 9 ads ...
33% were ghosted (3 out of 9 ads)
66% were successful (6 out of 9 ads)
Is this good? I don't know. That's why I started this blog, to keep track and hopefully find the best way to Post on Craigslist.

I am new to Craigs list. I've posted several ads and I guess they are getting gosted. My Craigs list account says the ads are there but when I go to see them they are not there. Also I've not gotten any leads. So are they ghosted?
