Craigslist Accounts – A New Battle

Craigslist’s recent introduction of phone-verified accounts has made posting on CL more of a challenge than ever.

You can purchase phone verified accounts from a number of sources, but you must be careful: many sites use procedures can leave footprints behind which can cause CL to flag these accounts.

I recommend buying phone numbers yourself, and doing the account set-up manuaully ( vs buying completed accounts directly from a vendor)

Avoid Footprints (During Account Creation)

Actions that cause a “red-flag” to Craigslist during account creation are:

1.) Using the same CL password for each account created (and created one after another).
2.) Same IP used when creating accounts
3.) Activating a phone verified account and NOT using it within 48 hours.

All of the above create red-flags with Craigslist and the accounts can be at risk for deletion.

You need to make sure each account is as unique as possible by implementing the following 4 variations:

1.) Do not ever use the same password for each account
2.) Do not verify each account one after the other. This creates a pattern.
3.) DO try to post as each account is created.
4.) Use different IPs when creating each account.

Look What Others Are Doing....

Looking what other people are doing is the best way to make sure your ads "stick" and do not get ghosted on Craigslist.

The craigslist police are bigger and badder than ever before, and its truly become a cat and mouse game.

Utilize the tactics mentioned in my ebook. Create as much variation as possible. But ultimately -- look at someones ad and see if they have a similar ad in another city. Look at how their ad was created by using VIEW SOURCE in your internet browser.

Likely you will easily be able to see how they hid their text, where they hosted their image, etc.

You must incorporate this into your posting process.

Living Easy Software's Forum

Living Easy Software's forum is a great place to learn about CL posting. The users are talking about Admaster, the only program that will allow you to Bulk post on CL. With CL's new updates, everything else is obsolete and outdated. The guy who created Admaster keeps up with the changes

Admaster simply uses the same things as mentioned in my ebook.. only it automates the process.

Check out their forum. Its here.

Posting Process

The process to CL posting has become a much more tedious one, unfortunately.

I recommend NOT reposting but creating CL accounts (or BUYING pre-verified accounts) for each post per 48 period.

So if you're posting 20 ads a day, you'll need 40 accounts.

You also need to change your IP and cookies with each posting. I've seen that changing IP every 3 posts is also possible, but be careful. Start out with complete variation with all variables, and then work to cut parts out of your process to see what you can get away with .

To change your modem you either need a.) A dialup, b.) A Cellular Modem (Available at Cell Phone stores)

Posting on CL has never been more difficult. The only way to automate my techniques is to purchase LivingEasySoftware's product, called Admaster. It does all of my techniques for you. But if you are a smaller entrepreneur trying to post a few ads a day, my techniques (by hand) may be the ideal, more affordable route.

New Update Coming Soon

Hello
I will soon be releasing a new update to my product.

My product is still working, however, some of the color codes, etc. within the ebook may be dated.

A lot of the information in my ebook will never be dated as as the key to craigslist bulk posting is variation variation variation.

Posting on larger scales has become a tedious process. In my next version I will explain how to use Living Easy Software's AdMaster, the only working autoposter.

I will keep you posted, and of course send you the free updates..

Best,
MWM

New Slight Update Available

On the 21st of March I released a slight update.

If you're visiting this blog and would like a copy of it, please email me at craigslistpowerposting@gmail.com with your order number and I will send it to you.

I plan on releasing a finalized version of this on a larger scale soon.

Sadly, my techniques have become LESS of a recipe and more of an open-ended way of analyzing how to get ads to "stick".

I do have some killer things within my ebook that I feel are very beneficial. So please, email me and I will send the free update.

Once I clean it up I will email the link to everyone who has ever purchased CLPP from me...

Update Coming Soon

I have an update coming soon. I feel I owe it to everyone. I do not know why. I feel that my last version of PowerPosting could be improved upon.

To be quite honest, I didn't use the PowerPosting tactics for some time, but recently I've decided to use them again.

I've done some research on IP changing and I even bought a modem that allows me to disconnect and reset my IP. Its a cellular "aircard" which enables me to change IP frequently.

I took the day off of work, and played with it.

This morning I wasn't able to get any of my posts to stick.

It scared me. I posted with the aircard and changed by IP.

I used an autoposter and seperate emails (NO CL accounts).

I think what I lacked was:

A.) The filenames of my images were all the same, I didn't COMPLETELY rename them with each upload.

B.) The autoposter may have gone too fast.

C.) I didn't add enough white content.


I recommend adding a LOT of white content. I am talking like 2-3 paragraphs. Just go to wikipedia and grab the content.

I know this to be true because I later on tonight posted with complete success in 5 cities in a row.

I started out with a clean slate by making sure to vary EVERYTHING. That is how I test -- I start out being very broad with my experiments (making sure all variables are open) and then slowly cut corners to see what is making the ads not show.

I had success tonight by NOT changing the IP but actually using the PowerPosting technique that I've written about. So -- my book may NOT be out of date as I feared.

I successfully posted 5 ads with a craigslist account and cleared my cookies each time. I also made sure to ad tons of white content.

Tmw I will try to expand this. Perhaps all this IP-changing stuff is just a scare..

Great Article on "Ghosted Ads"

This is a good article on ads showing green but not appearing live, also known as "Ghosting".

I also like how they called it Power Posting Pointers, perhaps after my product. :)
