Posting Ads

Posting ads is a marketing strategy used by many brands to get visibility and rank in search results. Moreover, many companies post ads on sites like Craigslist for selling their products or services. Craigslist is a marketplace where people can buy and sell products, goods, and services by posting classified ads.

What Restrictions Do Brands Face While Posting Ads on Craigslist?

  • Allowed to Post Limited Ads
  • On Craigslist, you can post one classified ad every 48 hours.

  • Geo-Restrictions
  • Craigslist is accessible in around 70 countries. Since it is location-specific, people of one geographical location are restricted to post ads on Craigslist based in another area.

  • High Security
  • Due to robust security on Craigslist, you are likely to face IP Blocks when performing web scraping.

How Can Proxies Help Brands in Ad Posting?

Proxies play a significant role in helping brands post ads by masking their original IP address with a proxy server's IP. As discussed earlier, brands might face certain restrictions while posting ads on popular sites like Craigslist. As a result, proxies are needed to overcome those restrictions to:

Post Multiple Ads

You can get blocked on Craigslist if you try to post multiple ads as it allows only one ad every 48 hours. However, companies often need to post various ads as part of their marketing strategy and reach a wider audience. It is where proxies help brands to post multiple ads without getting blocked.

Target Buyers of Different Locations

Sometimes, brands need to target buyers of different cities and locations. But due to restrictions of location on Craigslist, brands can only post ads in their location. Nonetheless, companies can bypass geographical restrictions with the help of proxies and target buyers from different locations.

Scrape Web for Insights

Sites like Craigslist can easily detect and block web scrapers and bots. However, web scraping of ad-posting sites is conducted by brands to scrape data and run data analytics to see how their ad is performing and to gain other insights. Proxies can help brands scrape ad websites without facing blocks.
