Elite Proxy

Michael Simms asked:


Are you in need of and looking to buy Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts? If this sounds like you, then most likely you have a a very good reason for wanting to buy some verified accounts. The latest move by Craigslist has caused massive uproar from the Craigslist marketing community which has led to the huge demand for verified accounts.

It all started when Craigslist required Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts to post in the most heavily trafficked erotic services section. Many people did not realize that this was just the first step Craigslist was going to take. Phone verification requires all Craigslist users to first verify their account via a valid phone number before they are allowed to post in the services section. This is a simple process that involved inputting your phone number, receiving a phone call and a code and then typing it in. Having completed this you are now able to post in phone verified sections. After the introduction of phone verification, there have been some obvious changes. Phone verified accounts permit you to only post one ad every 48 hours in sections that require phone verification. Not having access to enough phone numbers to create enough phone verified accounts has forced many advertisers to severely reduce the number of ads they have been posting. Craigslist continues to fight spam and now just having a Craigslist proxy isn’t enough, you need phone numbers as well.

All in all, I think Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts has had a positive effect on Craigslist, even if it has forced many people, who have never needed verified accounts before, to buy Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts in order to keep posting on Craigslist.

Sometime has passed since the introduction of Craigslist PVA at the Craigslist online classified website.  The introduction of these PVA was done for a specific reason, that of being able to control how often people who use Craigslist could post ads.  By implementing Craigslist PVAs, Craigslist now had a much greater control over who was posting and how often they could post.  The implementation of these accounts has been one of many steps Craigslist has taken to try and control or limit the amount of unwanted ads/spam that is posted on the classified website.

When Craigslist was first established, it was essentially a free for all classified site.  There were basically no restrictions on who could post ads and how often they could post them.  While originally this did not pose a problem, since Craigslist grew into the world’s largest online classified website, many problems came about because of this.  One of the many steps Craigslist took to limit the amount of ads being posted or that could be posted by individuals was through the introduction of phone verified accounts.  This originally started in the erotic services section and was tested for just over one month.  Once this phase of testing was completed, it was then expanded to the entire services section.  Almost overnight, there was a dramatic decrease in the quantity and frequency of ads being posted in Craigslist in the services section.  The reason for this being that many advertisers were using hundreds or thousands of accounts and once phone verification was introduced they simply did not have enough phone number to use to verify all the accounts.  A phone number can only be used once to phone verify an account, and this was the main reason for the dramatic drop in ads being posted on Craigslist.  This is good news for legit advertisers who have a product or service they want to promote and sell in their local area.  Thanks to phone verification, there were less spam ads being posted and this allowed legit advertisers to have the chance of having their ad seen by a potential customer on Craigslist instead of being lost amongst the thousands of spam ads being posted.  Where originally there was no limit on how often you could post an ad on Craigslist, once phone verified accounts were introduced this was changed to one ad posted every 48 hours per account.  While some advertisers did manage to get around this by using multiple accounts, the difficulty in obtaining phone numbers that are compatible with Craigslist has resulted in visible decrease in spam in the services sections on Craigslist.

The use of Craigslist PVA came about due to how popular and how much unwanted spam or abuse Craigslist was receiving.  If it was not for this we probably would have never seen or had the need for phone verification on Craigslist.  Phone verified accounts can only be used once every 48 hours and as a result this has lead to a drop decrease in ads being posted or spammed on Craigslist, making it a better experience for users browsing Craigslist to buy or hire.
