I found your blog via Google while searching for free classified advertising and your post regarding advertising At Craigslist looks very interesting to me. I could not believe the amount of quality material on this site. The site is extremely eyecatching and pulls the reader straight in, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

I’ve had all my Craigslist ads with affiliate links deleted. I even had a blog link that got deleted. The only time I had an affiliate product not get deleted was when I didn’t leave a referral email address; just let them use the Craigslist assigned email address. I didn’t get any sales, though.

Very good question. I have no idea but will definitely look into it.

Any Craigslist pros know the answer?

Does craigslist work for affiliate marketing? Either including a direct link to the advertiser, or a link to a presell page? Anyone have any experience? WebDiggin's last blog post..5 domain names for 5 dollars (and free privacy registration to boot)

Exactly right Tracy, you can still get PLENTY of traffic.

Besides, as stated, those submitting PR’s do not have “backlinks” on the forefront of their agenda…or at least it shouldn’t be at the top of the list.

Regardless of the nofollow issue for Craigslist, it can still send traffic. So if you’re doing a PR release just to have something to use to get backlinks, don’t use Craigslist. But if you have a real product that you can tailor into an offer that Craigslist users would like, then go for it.

Sorry about that Jackie, I thought I linked in the post. It’s a print newsletter for marketing specialists…a little pricey at $264 per year but it’s got some good stuff.
