Hi firends, 

Now, that I have done research on how not to get flagged , and created more than 5 accounts on craigslist. I need the (meat ) inside the ad posting.. I dont not have a website. I do have a phone number especially for people to call... I have pictures that I printed the phone number on. 

 (I read here and there on what should the ad say, but they all point to what the message should be, rather than giving me samples to use)

My Questions

- any suggested or sample Titles ?

-any suggested or sample Body?

Just so all know I have put the effort and posted before and gotten flagged on all of them ... now but I need a better system. I  know that i only should post three times a day per account... each ad posting has to be different in every account. anything else?

 It may be as simple the one constant - the form. I have heard if you use the same website on multiple accounts, it still we be recognized and flagged.

 Could you please provide examples on what a simple post would be. It seems like my lengthy posts are not getting past the flaggers

 @Account Closed:
i have done some research about the IP address ... in your opinion do you recommend downloading a software that masks the ip address of your computer?

Here is what i will do . for each account I will have a separate version of the ad. different names, text and everything. what else do you recommend

 I have tried Manolo! so many that say different things, i tried as many as I can ... no use. 

Do you any thing about masking the IP address softwares

 @Steven J.
Ok, understood, and thank you. 
I have more than five accounts that I use. Also i have three versions, and I use those same three for all of the accounts. Does that have an effect? I have been googling how to avoid being flagged, yet there is not a consistent answer? what do you suggest

Hi my friends,

I hope that you are feeling grand! I have create more than 5 Craigslist accounts. Posted some ads yet everything gets flagged. Here is what I am doing, please direct me to the right direction.

MY QUESTIONS :I post in (housing offered, an housing wanted -for sale by owner-) is there certain places I should be posting in? , how to not get flagged? how many times a day can I post? everyday?

- the only place i put my phone number is on the picture that i attach to the posting

- I am using three different versions of posts. Different wording.

- I am using those three versions with each account.

- dont know if this would matter. They all have a link to direct people to a google form that sellers can fill out.

I appreciate your answers my friends . And I hope this question benefits others as well .

Thank you

Haitham Abbasi
