ve or are you considering setting up a Craigslist proxy? The exact number of IPs you should get with your proxy is dependent on a few factors. Knowing this in advance will help you make the right decisions for when you setup your server.
The first is what kind of budget do you have to spend on your proxy server and secondly what quantity of ads are you looking to post daily. Not having enough IPs on your proxy obviously means you will be limited in the number of ads you can post. So if you are looking to posts heaps of ads make sure that you get as many IPs as you can afford. Do you just need to post a couple of ads each day on Craigslist? Or do you need to get hundreds of ads up? If you are just looking to post a few ads then you should be fine with just one IP on your proxy server. Anymore than this would be a waste of money and resources. However, for those who want to post a large quantity of ads, such as 100 a day, they should invest in between 5 to 10 IPs to start. Generally speaking, for every IP that you have on your proxy server you can post approximately 10 ads. So that should give you a quick rule to check to see if you have enough IPs on your Craigslist proxy to allow you to post enough ads on Craigslist.
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. Just how many ads you plan on posting and the exact budget you have to spend will directly impact on the configuration of your server. Doing this will make sure that you make the most of your proxy server.
