Craigslapped, The Starving Affiliate Marketer

Craigslist, most of us has used this site for selling unwanted items or looking for things to buy. for the people that has not used craigslist, it is simply placing an ad to sell your unwanted good or advertise a service. or is it "simple"...............
As most people know craigslist now has a phone verification and limited posts to 1 a day to lessen the amount of spam to the site.
while a lot of people think this is a good thing, not having to see weird ads or spammy looking ads.
but, behind the scenes the average affiliate marketer has suffered a massive blow. what used to be a haven of unlimited traffic for an affiliate marketer to make sales and feed their families........ now their left empty handed, frantically looking for a way to get around this or another way to make sales in hopes of cashing in and make a living. marketers can still place ads but just a few, at most a day if they know what and how to do it.
if you go beyond craigslists limit your account will be put on hold, and you my never get if took off !!
your phone number that you used to verify your account will be blacklisted and your IP address also, thus eliminating you from ever posting on craigslist ever again!! sure you could change your IP and use your Buddy's phone number for verification, but how many friends do you really have?? and they may not want their number associated with a blacklist on craigslist!! since craigslist may blacklist you if someone else flags your post!! There are other methods i have read about that can get you around this, but slowly there are fading away or getting to expensive and time consuming to even deal with.


I think all this so called "SPAM" prevention has took the food right off the tables of maybe thousands of families, nobody likes spam i know that and everybody else does to. but some of that spam has a legit reason, that being the lively hood of someones income. i think that only letting a verified user only post 1 post a day is crap. have you ever looked at how much it costs to post in some ares of craigslist?, very expensive!! you would think they would use some of that money to invest in a better server that can handle a lil "spam", poor people are nearly starving and the rich don't care!!!! they just wanna cut down on a lil "spam"  get real!! and get a server!!!, who wants to read the 50 paragraph page on "what ya cant do on craigslist" i just wanna post and make money!! as do many other marketers, my thought of the day: good things can become great untill something greater replaces it......
