If you are thinking of a Craigslist proxy, you can go about it two ways. These being renting or setting up your own. So when should you rent and when should you setup one? If you are posting a lot of ads each day on Craigslist, looking at setting up your own proxy server would be a good idea. Just how much is a lot? Anymore than 50 a day, definitely look at setting up your own proxy instead of renting. Less than this and you should be ok with renting IPs from someone else. Renting IPs from other people is fine, but usually they come at a much higher price compared to setting up your own. If you need to post a lot of ads on Craigslist, look at investing into your own Craigslist proxy instead of renting from someone else. You will save a bundle of money.

Are you putting ads on on Craigslist via a Craigslist Proxy? If yes, is it possible that Craigslist knows your every move? This depends entirely on how anonymous your Craigslist Proxy is. If you are using an exclusive or proxy server for Craigslist that you setup yourself and are the only one with access, it should be safe to say that Craigslist is in the dark about your activities. However, if you are posting on Craigslist with a free or shared proxy server, then there is a good chance that everything you are doing is completely visible. Free or shared proxy servers typically perform poorly when compared with elite or exclusive proxy servers. The main reason is due to their how anonymous they are and that elite proxy servers typically can not be detetected as a proxy server. Furthermore, you may be using a server that has several people on it who also post on Craigslist.. Having lots of people on your proxy server who are also spamming Craigslist definitely isn’t a good thing, right? Obviously not. If you are using an elite Craigslist Proxy then you should be safe and anonymous on Craigslist.

Do you find that your ADS are constantly being flagged off of Craigslist? A lot of people seem to think that ads are flagged due to some IP or proxy reason.. Usually this isn’t the problem.

Craigslist users flag ads, not Craigslist itself. The following reasons are typically the main cause of people flagging your ads:

A. What you are posting on Craigslist is spam or perceived as spam. In terms of content, posting frequency or posting locations.

B. Someone else who is in the same market as you has decided to flag your ads so they can sell more. All they need to do is flag your ads or get someone else to do it. There are actually groups of people who get together and do this.

Most of the time the reason your ad was flagged was because one of the above happened. It usually is not due to your Craigslist proxy.

If you have your own Craigslist Proxy then something that is vital to know about is security. No-one likes to constantly have to enter passwords repeatedly but don’t neglect them as they are essential. Proxy servers are machines out in the open on the internet and therefore can potentially be accessed by anyone. Don’t be fooled by thinking that just because there are so many other computers and IPs on the internet that the chances of finding your proxy server are zero. In this day and age there are a multitude of tools that can make IP scanning a very simple process and allow someone to scan thousands and thousands of IPs in a very short time. Due to this you should never setup a proxy server that doesn’t use a password. Since the proxy server is yours, if a person uses it to commit a crime or fraud you will be the person held responsible. If you want to save time, instead of not using a password, there are many other applications and programs out there that will automaticallys handle username and passwords for logging into your proxy. Use these instead as they will achieve what you want (speeding up the login process) but also alow you to retain the high level of security that your Craigslist Proxy requires.

Ads aren’t appearing on Craigslist? Tried everything and not sure what the problem is? This could be due to a number of reasons why you might be having problems getting ads to go live on Craigslist. These tips should help you to get your ads to stick.

First, try to avoid using any words or phrases that don’t match the category you are posting in. When putting ads in the for sale area, don’t post an unrelated ad such as a small business opportunity. Craigslist uses complex filters to try and stop people from posting ads in the wrong section. Each section on Craigslist is different and most likely uses a different set of filters. Second, avoid using any special html codes outside of what Craigslist supports. Craigslist may block any ads which use html codes that are not supported by their site. Third, try to limit how many ads you post each day. If possible try and post 1 ad from 1 IP each day and no more. Posting more than this this will work, but posting an excessive amount of ads increases the chances that you will be flagged. Finally, don’t post ads with external html images. There are sections which allow you to link to external images but doing so does increase the chance of your ad being blocked. Other sections do not permit images at all and all ads with images are blocked.

Getting up ads on Craigslist can cause a lot of stress, but by following the above tips you should reduce the amount of trouble. You may also consider looking into a Craigslist proxy to improve the rate of your ads going live.

Web proxies are a commonly known and used proxy resource. Their very name webproxy falsely leads people into believing that a webproxy can be used as a Craigslist proxy. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The main problem with webproxies is their lack of anonymity. If you want to be able to post advertisements on Craigslist with as little trouble as possible then this is something you need to pay attention to. Web proxies reveal their true nature to anyone that inspects the IP. This makes it extremely easy for Craigslist and other sites to first inspect the true nature of an IP and if it is detected as a proxy any ads coming from the IP are banned. Since web proxies typically are free, there are some people who make the mistake of assuming that all proxies are created equally and they try to use them to post on Craigslist. This obviously doesn’t work and they quickly become frustrated. For those wanting to post ads to Craigslist you will need to dig into your pockets and invest in your very own Craigslist proxy.

The exact number of IPs you should get with your proxy is dependant on a few factors. How much money you can spend on your proxy and just how many ads you would like to post on Craigslist play an important role. Having a few IPs quite obviously means you will be restricted in the amount of ads you can post safely. If you want to post a lot of ads buy as many IPs as your budget will allow you. Would a few ads each day be all you need to put on Craigslist? Or do you need to get hundreds of ads up? For those who would be happy with just one or two ads, one IP on your proxy server would be more than enough. Anymore than this would be a waste of money and resources. However, if you are looking to post 100 ads or higher then you will need to invest in at least 5 to 10 IPs to start with. Generally speaking, for every IP that you have on your proxy server you can post approximately 10 ads. Using that rule you should be able to quickly figure out if you have enough IPs on your Craigslist proxy to safely post ads with.

Do you own or will you be setting up a Craigslist Proxy soon? If so make sure you get IPs from as many different C class IP ranges as possible. C class IP ranges aren’t talked about much, but by not making sure you are using IPs on your proxy server from different C class IP ranges you are opening the door to be blocked by Craiglsist.

Their are 4 main ranges for IPs, A B C and D. Ranges are used to keep track of and log the network and ID of the network. Everyone on the internet is assigned an IP which is used to identify them while they are online. The most common method used to change your IP is by reconnecting to the internet, but more often than not it is still within the same IP range. This allows companies and other people to more easily identify your activities as even after changing your IP, it hasn’t changed enough so that one could make assumptions or try and track patterns of activity between your new and old IP. This could also very well be used by Craigslist in their attempts to log use of Craigslist by people posting ads. Using different C class IP ranges on your proxy server would definitely make it much harder or almost impossible for Craigslist to do this.

As mentioned above, using IPs in the same C class IP range may make it possible for Craigslist to detect your activity even though you could be using several different accounts (as the new IP you are assigned has not changed enough to make you look like a completely different user from somewhere else). This very same concept of using different C class IP ranges applies to proxy servers and is something you should pay great attention to. Usually, IPs on proxy server are within the same range, which is what you do not want. Anonymity is very important for anyone posting on Craigslist, so make sure your Craigslist Proxy has different C class IP ranges if possible.

Wonder why your ads never show on Craigslist? There is a good reason for this and so you probably will need a Craigslist proxy to help you post ads. Craigslist owns many sites for several countries around the world. If you live outside of the country you wish to post on you simply will not be able to post classified advertisements. Craigslist utilizes this as a way to control spam. What could possibly be the reason people in other countries want to post ads on sites in countries outside of their own? People realize and understand that traffic from the USA is much more valuable than China and this is why. The work around for this problem is through the use of a proxy. Unfortunately, you will need to use a more secure and advanced proxy, so free proxies typically won’t work. The reason why free proxies usually fail is because Craigslist knows about these kinds of proxies. All they need to do then is automatically remove any advertisements that come from these free proxies. Another reason why free proxies aren’t recommended is because they typically are very slow. Free proxies usually are overloaded with people because it is free. This results in what can sometimes be a painful internet experience due to how slow the proxy server is. So, if you are serious about putting advertisements on Craigslist do some homework on about getting a a Craigslist proxy which only you can use.
