Here are five SEO tips to avoid getting flagged on Craigslist:

1. Never post more than one ad at a time in a given category.

2. Avoid repeatedly deleting and reposting.

3. Try not to make your ad too annoying or spam related.

4. Don’t draw too much attention to yourself. An effective ad is informative and concise. The key here is to avoid making your ad too good. A well-written ad is excellent in the eyes of flaggers and excellence attracts envy, and on Craigslist that means getting flagged by malicious competitors.

5. Do not violate the Craigslist Terms of Service. Pretty simple. It’s completely possible to use Craigslist for SEO purposes without violating its terms of agreement.

Remember, Craigslist can be a great tool for your real estate marketing. Learn how marketing with Craigslist can be made easy with Single Property Websites

I expect in a few more years it will be accepted to further abbreviate this to just “Site”, which in context, surely is the easiest form of wording?

What is a 3rd level domain?

A Third level domain is a way of creating additional domain addresses from your existing domain name (that you own). For example, our main site is

http://www.SinglePropertySites.com

The actual ‘domain’ that we have registered is “SinglePropertySites.com” and we can replace the “www” part with another word to create a 3rd level domain. For example:

http://Blog.SinglePropertySites.com

How do I set this up?

First – this feature only applies where you already have your domain name registered with a third party such as GODADDY, or Register.com, where you can adjust the DNS settings for your domain name.

Second – set up your third level domain name in your Registrar account to point to our DNS records:

ns1.singlepropertysites.com

ns2.singlepropertysites.com

(NOTE: please contact your registrar if you need technical help with setting DNS)

Third – in your SPS account, go to the Domain Name setting page for your site and choose the option that says “Click Here if you want to use a domain name you already own.“

On the next page, in the main field, type in the full 3rd level domain that you want to use. See the image below that shows how this would be done for http://1122mainstreet.MYDOMAIN.com.

That’s it! As long as the DNS are registered correctly, your third level domain name will start to work within a day or so.

(Note – our free SMS TXT service requires a unique domain name, so 3rd level domains do not have SMS TXT service)
