How to avoid getting flagged on Craigslist

admin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 03:59:12 +0000

Getting flagged on Craigslist can be time-consuming and frustrating. Learning how to avoid those crazy flaggers is easier than you think.

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

Good article over at the Transparent Real Estate blog that does a good job explaining why Realtors in particular have taken to social networking online. While there are certainly still agents trying to figure the Internet out, the thousands who are online have made sites like ActiveRain, Inman and RealTown into some of the largest community sites on the Web.

Real estate agents leverage blogging and the social media for lead generation… there is a purpose for their participation. Real estate agents, admittedly a low-barrier-to-entry profession, need to differentiate themselves and the social media has become a proven method for demonstrating their expertise, experience, personality, etc.

And I’d wager that it’s still a very small segment of the industry who participates actively in social networks online. As more and more catch on, these sites should see sustained growth.
