How To Get A New IP For Craigslist

April 6th, 2009

If you frequently use Craigslist then you are probably aware that IP is a big issue when it comes to posting ads on Craigslist.  Craigslist tracks and logs all IP activity.  This is done by Craigslist for a variety of reasons, the main one being to stop spammers and others who want to abuse and overpost their ads on Craigslist.  This includes people from within the United States and those who live outside of the United States.  The downside to this is that sometimes this also affect people who post on Craigslist but are not spammers.  If you happen to be using the same IP range as a spammer is, then you will find that you are also blocked from posting on Craigslist.  Luckily, there are a few ways that you can get change and get different IPs so you can keep posting ads on Craigslist.

The first solution to being on an IP blocked range is to use dialup.  Dialup is generally assigned a dynamic IP each time you connect to the internet.  This meaning that each time you dial in you will get a different IP.  Immediately this solves your problem and provides you with a different IP each time you connect to the internet.  The downside to dialup is that it is extremely slow.  If you are a casual poster then dialup might be a viable alternative, but anyone else will probably find dialup a little too slow to tolerate.  The second solution is through the use of air cards.  Air cards offer wireless access to the internet.  Again, similar to dialup they offer a new IP each time you connect to the internet.  They are much faster and offer broadband like speeds so aren’t as slow as dialup.  However, air cards have been used and abused by many people on Craigslist for years and as a result many people believe Craigslist has blocked or at least red flagged the IPs used by Craigslist.  Therefore you may find that an air card does not solve your problem of needing a fresh new IP that isn’t already blocked.  A third solution is to actually renew or refresh your own IP from your current internet provider.  If you are on DSL that is dynamic, you can do this by simply reconnecting to the internet.  However, many people can not get a fresh IP doing this even though they may be on a dynamic connection.  One solution to this is to disconnect and power down/off your modem over night.  When you power it up the next morning you should find that you have a different IP.  You can also try using ipconfig /release, turn off and on your modem then ipconfig /renew.  This is probably the easiest and best solution but for many it still does not work.  They are either on fixed IPs or just unable to get a different dynamic IP.  The fourth solution, and this may help those who can’t get a new IP via powering down their modem, is to change your network card’s MAC address.  You can do this by either getting a new network card or by using some MAC software that allows you to manually edit the number.  This method while many times effective can be risky and you may cause damage to your network card making it unusable.  A fifth solution is for those who may have an iPhone or other mobile device that has internet access.  You can connect your computer through your iPhone and each time you disable and enable wireless/airplane mode you should have a new IP.  This is a simple method but for those without an iPhone or similar device it isn’t of much use.  The final and probably most effective solution to getting a different IP is through the use of a proxy server, specifically an elite proxy server.  The reason this is one of the better solutions is because it works no matter where you are in the world, offers broadband like speeds and you are the only person who has access to it.  With an elite proxy your IP is shown as in the USA (or any other country you need) and you access it via a username and password specified by you.  You may also be able to select which cities or areas the IPs come from in the USA.  Within an instant you are able to change/rotate IPs so you can be using a New York IP one minute and a Chicago IP the next.  Elite proxies are not free, but for those serious about posting on Craigslist it is the best solution.

Even if your IP range has been blocked on Craigslist, because of your own actions or others, you can easily change or get a new IP through the use of one of the many methods listed above.  However, due to the flexibility, ease of use and access to different IPs, setting up an elite proxy server is the best method to get a new IP for posting ads on Craigslist with.

Craigslist Proxy – Why Were My Accounts Put on Hold?

March 17th, 2009
Creztor Tessel asked:


If you post on Craigslist then you have probably had an account put on hold at least once, maybe even twice. Did you know there are a few things to keep in mind when posting on Craigslist that will greatly reduce and help eliminate your accounts being put on hold?

Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when posting on Craigslist is that you need to be able to change IPs as much as possible. If you are just the casual poster and do one or two posts a week then there won’t be a problem. For those who post more than this, you should definitely look into some kind of setup that allows you to change IP. Craigslist offers two kinds of accounts. Standard and phone verified. If you are posting with standard/non-verified accounts you should do at most 10 posts per day per IP. For phone verified accounts you should only do 1 post per day per IP. If you go beyond this it increases the chances of Craigslist putting your accounts on hold. This is the number one reason people find their accounts on hold. The second cause for accounts being placed on hold is people post ads in the incorrect sections in Craigslist. Doing this increases the chances that people will flag your ads as spam. The more times your account post ads that are flagged as spam, the higher the chance your account will be put on hold. Try to post ads in the relevant sections in Craigslist and avoid having ads flagged. This is the second main cause of accounts being put on hold.

Hopefully with these two tips you will be able to avoid having any accounts put on hold. Accounts that are put on hold can never be used again, so do your best to remember these tips.

Craigslist Proxy – Don’t Post Too Many Ads From Your Ips

March 16th, 2009
Creztor Tessel asked:


Are you aware that even if you put ads on Craigslist via a proxy, Craigslist can still be aware of your activities? Craigslist is always on the lookout for people who are spamming too many ads from one IP. Many people want to know how many ads can be posted from one IP on their Craigslist proxy without raising any alarms. The answer to this varies a lot.

Overall, don’t post anymore than 20 ads per day from any one IP. If you want you can try posting more than this but do so at your own risk, so try and not exceed 20 ads from one IP each day. Many people do infact post many ads from one IP each day, but over a prolonged period of time you may find that your IP is blocked. You also need to take into consideration the number of IPs you have access to. Having only a few IPs means it makes sense to try and post as many ads as you can. Don’t post a lot of ads from one IP all in a row. You would be better off by posting one ad and then changing your IP before the next. By doing this you reduce any chance of Craigslist detecting that you are posting the same or similar ads from a specific range of IPs.

Never forget to implement to above technique when posting ads to avoid any chance that your IPs on your proxy server are flagged or blacklisted so as to make posting ads on Craigslist as easy and painless as possible. By taking this precaution, you can make the most of your Craigslist proxy and hopefully generate more traffic.

Craigslist Proxy – Why Aren’t My Ads Showing Up on Craigslist?

March 16th, 2009
jamiehanson asked:


Don’t use a Craigslist proxy and having trouble getting your posts on Craigslist? If you aren’t using a proxy server, there is a good reason why your ads aren’t show up and you probably will need a proxy to help you post ads. Without one, you are fighting an uphill battle. Craigslist operates multiple sites around the world. You must live in the country you want to put an ad on, otherwise your ad will not go live. Craigslist does this to reduce the amount of spam from people in other countries. What would make people want to post advertisements on countries they don’t live in? Simply because there is typically much more traffic and opportunity in countries like the USA compared to posting on classified websites like those found in China. The only way you can post on a website that is not in your country is by using a proxy. However, not just any proxy will work. The reason they typically don’t work is because Craigslist is aware of and knows how to detect these free proxies. All they need to do then is automatically remove any advertisements that come from these free proxies. This isn’t the only problem with free proxies. Another problem stems from just how slow and painful they can be to use sometimes. Most people aren’t prepared to spend money on a proxy and therefore are always on the lookout for ones that are 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 Craigslist proxy that you are the only one with access to. You will find that posting your ads is much easier and simpler with your own proxy.

Craigslist Proxy – Ads not Showing Up on Craigslist

March 14th, 2009
Creztor Tessel asked:


Ads not going live on Craigslist?  Tried everything and not sure what the problem is?  There are a number of reasons why you might be having problems getting ads to go live on Craigslist.  Here are a few tips to help you out and hopefully get your ads to go live.

First, try to avoid using any words or phrases that don’t match the category you are posting in.  If you are posting in the for sale section, don’t post an unrelated ad such as a small business opportunity.  Craigslist has several spam filters in place that constantly monitor for any unrelated or irrelevant keywords.  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 has a page which clearly shows what html codes they support and using any html codes that aren’t listed there may increase the chances of your ads being blocked.  Third, limit the number of posts you make per day per IP.  Generally speaking only post 1 ad per IP per day.  Doing anymore than this will work, but if you post too many ads from one IP it will increase the chance of you being flagged as a spammer.  Finally, avoid using any html images in your ads.  There are sections which allow you to link to external images but doing so does increase the chance of your ad being blocked.  Many sections do not permit images and posting ads with images will result in an immediate ban.

Posting ads on Craigslist can be troublesome, but if you follow the above advice it should help you to increase your stick rate.  Never spam Craigslist and only post within their terms and you should find that your ads more often than not do go live.

Craigslist Proxy – Do Free Proxies Work as a Craigslist Proxy?

March 14th, 2009
Creztor Tessel asked:


Are you looking into setting up your own Craigslist proxy server and considering using a free provider? You may not know, but free proxies do not work on Craigslist. The main reason they do not work lies in their lack of anonymity, which makes it easy to detect.

The most common type of proxy is a free proxy. There is a common belief held by many that a free proxy is suitable to be used as a Craigslist proxy. Sadly, this is not the case. One of the biggest problems with free proxies is that they are not anonymous. 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. As mentioned, free proxies are not anonymous and they do not hide the fact that they are a proxy. This being the case, Craigslist simply needs to first query an IP and check for any signs that it is a proxy and if this is the case all ads are blocked. 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. Even though free is good, free proxies and other similar proxy solutions simply do not work with Craigslist and the only real solution is to spend a few dollars on setting up and creating your own Craigslist proxy.

Due to their lack of anonymity, free proxy servers are not a suitable Craigslist proxy solution. The best alternative is to invest in your own proxy server which will be 100% anonymous. Doing so will save you a lot of time and energy.

Can I Use a Webproxy as My Craigslist Proxy?

March 13th, 2009
Creztor Tessel asked:


Do you have or are you considering setting up a Craigslist proxy? If you are considering doing this then there are a few things you should know about proxy servers in general and more specially about web proxy servers.

The most common type of proxy is a web proxy. There is a common belief held by many that a web proxy is suitable to be used as a Craigslist proxy. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The main problem with web proxies 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 can be identified as web proxies by anyone who examines any IP coming from a web proxy. Since they do not attempt to hide or conceal the fact that they are web proxies, it is very easy for websites such as Craigslist to detect them and ban any ads coming from them. Just because webproxies are free and in abundant supply does not make them a good tool for posting ads to Craigslist with. Trying to post ads on Craigslist via a web proxy will result in nothing more than you quickly becoming frustrated as none of the ads stick.  For those wanting to post ads to Craigslist you will need to dig into your pockets and invest in your very own Craigslist proxy.

Having a proxy server is great and very useful to many people, but be sure to keep the above advice in mind the next time you go looking to setup your own server. While web proxy servers are free and can be found online almost anywhere, they are not suitable for posting ads on Craigslist with and should not be used.  You will be much better off by investing in your own Craigslist proxy to post ads with.

Ways to Make Easy Money on the Internet if You Love Writing

March 11th, 2009
Boris Tomson asked:


Here are easy ways to make money, if you like writing. I probably should have said simple ways to make money, rather than easy ways to make money, because there is a difference between simple and easy. But who cares, this is about how to make easy money quickly.

http://makeeasymoneyinfo.blogspot.com

1. Make easy money online naming domains. The original idea comes from Dane Carson’s blog While you can earn money as a contributor for services such as PickyDomains, here is a better idea. Go to Google or any other search engine, find sucky domain names and contact their owners directly, offering them your services. The key to success is to make it 100% risk free. Inform your prospective clients that you’ll accept money only if they like your domain name. If you come up with one approved domain name a day and charge what PickyDomain charges, you can make $1500 a month. Another twist – come up with cool domain names, like SiteToRemember.Com or ItsMe.Com, register them yourself and sell them on the aftermarket.http://makeeasymoneyinfo.blogspot.com

2. eBay arbitrage A lot of people like buying stuff on eBay, because it’s cheap. And some people never buy on eBay, because they are afraid of being ripped off. Here is your solution to making easy money on eBay. Go to Craigslist and see what items people buy and sell most often. Look at prices. Then go to eBay and see, if you can get it cheaper. Once you find your niche, you can buy things on eBay (or better yet, act as a representative for an eBay powerseller) and sell them for a profit using local classifieds and Craigslist. You can do this online as well. Set up a proxy store, and when you get an order, simply buy the same item on eBay for less, substituting shipping address from your own to that of your buyer.

3. eBay copywriting. If you are good at copywriting, go to eBay and look for highticket items, like boats, Find auctions with totally sucky descriptions. Contact an owner and inform him or her that good description of his or her item is likely to increase the chances of that item being sold. Then offer your services for a 1% of the selling price. You can use free eBay software

4. Get Paid Writing Reviews. This idea comes from a blog called Business Ideas That Work A site called SoftwareJudge pays up to 50 dollars per good review. However, if you are good at reviewing software, you can do this on your own. Go to CNET or any other site that lists software. Find sites that don’t have any reviews or testimonials. Contact developers directly, offering them your review services. Good reviews and testimonials increases sales, so you shouldn’t have any difficulties convincing developers that they need your services. And you get free software and games too! Oh, and you don’t have to limit yourself to software alone.

5. Social Bookmark Whoring (oops, I meant to say PR). This is really easy money online. RedDit and Digg can bring a crapload of traffic. And traffic means money. If you have experience creating linkbate titles and getting to the top, why not offer your services? Say, you charge 10 dollars for submitting news to RedDit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Furl, NewsVine, Fark and all the other social bookmarting sites. The key is to work only with interesting stories, so you don’t become a spammer. 10 news a day and you are 100 dollars richer. You can probably work out a deal with online PR agencies, because they are totally clueless about this.http://makeeasymoneyinfo.blogspot.com

6. Writing Google AdWords Ads. Every time I see “Cake Icing. Used And New. eBay.Com” type ads or “Four best sites on killing your wife”, it makes me wonder. Aren’t there any GOOD AdWords ads copywriters? Look’s like a great job to me. The ads are only three lines long and if you charge 10 bucks per ad, you can make a lot of money. And the customers are easy to find, too. Just look at all these terrible ads that Google displays on their search engine and contextual network.

7. Wacky blogs. Steve Pavlina gets over 300 dollars a day from AdSense alone, writing on wacky topics, like polyphasic sleep, astral projection and psychic development. Or take David Icke, who claims that president Bush in an alien and a reptilian. Your blog doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be interesting.

8. Blog whoring. There are a number of services, like PayPerPost, that pay for promotional blogposts. Once again, you can do the same thing, cutting the middleman out.

9. Unique Personal Ads. Write memorable personal ads for online daters. Most personal ads suck. “Hi, my name is Bambie, I’m a Vergo, I’m 19 and I love dogs.” Here is my favorite personal ad. If people pay for resume writing, they might pay for a great personal ad.

10. Poet For Hire. This is nothing new. Still, if you love writing poetry, why not make some money with your rhymes.

Make money online with Adsense, Adwords, clickbank. Drive traffic to your website. Find a domain name and a host or free host. Set a merchant

account.Tips and ideas for making money, saving money and earning more returns through better investments, more profitable working and better time management.

Can I Get Different Ips for My Craigslist Proxy?

March 8th, 2009
Creztor Tessel asked:


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. It isn’t a topic that is discussed often, 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.

IPs are seperated into four ranges, A B C and D. By using ranges we are able to log network IDs and network activity. Everyone on the internet is assigned an IP which is used to identify them while they are online. Most people know that by going offline and then back online you are able to change your IP, but usually the new IP you are assigned is within the same range. This makes it easy for companies to log your activities, as even though you have changed your IP, it has not been changed to the extent that they are unable to make any connection between your old and new IP. It is more than possible that this is exactly what Craigslist uses as part of their system to filter out spam. If you wish to remain anonymous to Craigslist then C class IP ranges for your proxy server should help you to do so.

As already stated 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 (since your new IP isn’t varied enough from the old one to make you look like a completely different user). This also applies to proxy servers and is why you should consider getting IPs from as many different C class IP ranges as possible. Generally speaking, most IPs on proxy servers are all from the same C class IP range, try to make sure this is not the case for your proxy server. If you wish to post a lot of ads on Craigslist then remaining anonymous is very important, so be sure to get a Craigslist Proxy with IPs in different C class IP ranges.
