Jason Brown, of Marketing Opus, has an interesting article giving detailed specifics of how to use Craigslist to increase your local search advertising.
The article explains how to optimize your listings and list them in a way to draw traffic back to your site, without having your post flagged as spam. If you are involved in local search, this may be a nice way to garner increased traffic. Well worth reading.
That is a great article. I’ve used craigslist for years very successfully but not in that manner. In fact I’m scared to use it that way in my market for fear that competitors might see it and start using craigslist to get around the fact that they haven’t optimized.
Think I’ll test it in a near by market and see how it works. (hehe) Thanks for the heads up, Dazzlin! You got me all psyched with the heads up!!!!!!
