Embedding HTML code in Craigslist Ads

[James Reynante]

I've noticed that Craigslist (San Diego edition) does not allow embedding HTML code in ads that are posted in the "For Sale" or "Housing" categories. This is a big bummer for me because I've been using it to help build my Buyer's List. I had been using the HTML <a href=> tag to forward the reader to my online squeeze page/input form. Now this practice is not permitted by CL.

Has anyone else seen/experienced this ?

So now I am limited to ads in these categories that are text-only OR they may contain some basic image files. Is there a workaround to this new development? Ideally, I want a way to embed forwarding links in the uploaded images such that CL will not strip/block them?

Thanks!
