[xpl0iter]

Have you ever done this or do you think its a good idea?
I have never tried it yet. So let me hear your suggestions and experiences!

If you don't know what Craigslist is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist

I suppose you could promote some products via Craigslist. It'd lead itself well to an affiliate store or something......

To be honest I'm not sue how successful this tactic would be, but then again maybe it's worth a shot. Let us know how you get on

I have used it in the past. It was free and used to provide a small amount of traffic. You have to keep listing the ads after they expire. I have no idea how effective it is today but some people enjoy success with classified ad sites.

I haven't heard this method of advertising in almost a year now. Yes I used to do it back in the day and I did get some traffic from it. Nothing too interesting but it was still something.

I think Craigslist would be nice to advertise on if your forum is something that is local and is for a certain community. For example I live in Canada and I would advertise in Craigslist if my forum was a Canadian "topic" forum
