Affiliate Program

I had some issues with my affiliate program but now it should be working out.

Click here to sign up.

UPDATE: I had the wrong address in there yesterday (9/30). I apologize. Please sign up for the program above to sell and get a commission. (50% - Not a TON, I know, but perhaps my product is underpriced. I've been told this..)

HTML Code.. and other stuff

Someone mentioned to me that recently (within the last few days) Craigslist has disabled the ivory text. This is preprogrammed into the .pxp file that I had with version 2.2.

I will try to figure out some more codes to set up into the PhraseExpress program.

I also have a slick new idea that I may share with ya'll.. but maybe next time, I have to research it further.

Best,

MWM

New Version Just Released

Hello All!

New eBook Update! - Craigslist PowerPosting 2.2 is out 9/15/2007

I put it together! I'd still like to tune it up a bit, and I may, but I want everyone to
have the download link so they can get updates any time.

Please email me at craigslistpowerpostingupdate@gmail.com and I will send you the updated version link.

Please state your name and I can search my history.

I would put the link on this blog but I do not want it to leak.

I believe this version is pretty much free of flaws. Although, we all know how Craigslist likes to change its rules on us.

It also utilizes some HotKey stuff that makes posting faster.

Please disregard the stuff below this post on the blog as it is outdated with this version.

Email me and I will send you the link...

Best,
MWM

Postings Not Showing Up? - Part II

Ok -

Craigslist is getting trickier. Part of me thinks that they can somehow scan the images to see if there are duplicates, even if they are DIFFERENT images but look the same.

So I suggest to all of you that you put a QUOTE on your page. Using quotes or miscellaneous text is a classic trick that many have done for some time. Combining it with the PowerPosting process it is rather simple and creates a powerful process with ads that stick.

Just go to this site: http://www.brainyquote.com/

And grab a quote that is fitting for your ad.

For every new ad you post or repost, try using a new quote.

Yes this does seem tedious, but in reality it is a simple cut and paste, and once you have your initial ads set up you can simply paste in the quote when posting AND when REPOSTING.

Adding variation when REPOSTING seems unimportant, but I believe that you must do this.. otherwise some ads are NOT showing, according to some. I am testing this as we seapk.

Tonight I've successfully posted around 10 ads, that are all showing, they all have UNIQUE images (but same looking) and all have quotes.

In some i've experimented with creating a black HTML frame around my image, but I also saw that the quote doesn't look so bad without being hidden. Just make it related to your product! If you are selling an artistic product, add an artistic quote!

It is well worth it in the end...

Email me at clpptest@gmail.com to tell me how this goes. It is a hassle, yes, but it allows my technique to still work.

Ads Not Showing?

I've noticed that recently sometimes ads do not show in certain cities.

I am working hard to figure this out.

Most of the time, it seems ads DO show.

Take into consideration the following factors when posting. Any of these could put up red flags.:

1.) IP address (Not sure if this is a huge factor with small amount of "powerposted" marketing)
2.) Cookies on your computer (Not sure if this is a huge factor)
3.) The frequency of your postings -- how quickly you are doing them one after another.
4.) The HOSTING of your image.
5.) The anonymous email address option - turned off, on, or leave out..

I am currently seeing success with my postings when I do not make my email anonymous (via craigslist). My images are hosted on my godaddy.com server. I am not sure how successful Photobucket still is, yet.. I am still pretty sure it DOES work.

I am going to test this further and should have more results soon.

When testing, you must consider many factors at once.. almost like addressing symptoms of an illness.

My product was designed to work around CL filters, but, as they change their filtering, SOME issues will and do arise. I will do my best to keep you all posted.

But for the most part, my process still seems to work..
