My ads on craigslist keep getting flagged.?

Anyone have any tips? I post plumbing & drain cleaning ads.

There are several possible reasons why that's happening. Could be too many ads, or too vague/incomplete to be useful. Without a specific example there's no way to guess. The last possibility is that you have a local competitor trying to push you out.

The best way to get an answer is by asking in your local CL forums area because those folks know best how the -local- system works. Similar to YA categories, every area is different. Post an ad, then immediately post the Q to the forum (with the URL of the ad) and ask the same Q 'why does this keep getting flagged?' You might get good feedback about how to write a better ad. Or it might be perfectly fine and you get feedback about local 'ad wars' going on.

If the local folks say it looks OK then ask CL directly at the ~/feedback page.

CL is THE wilde weste of the new millennium. It's great when it works and no one is screwing around, but when things go sour it tastes very bad.
