Originality matters
Several clients called me in the last week to tell me that Craigslist, the popular bulletin board, had removed their posts from the bulletin board service. As it turns out, a moderator from Craigslist removed the posts after it was noted that they were simply adding and re-posting the comments to the bulletin board without making significant changes to the content.
It’s considered spamming when you remove and repost the same content to a bulletin board and it’s understandable why services like Craigslist would block users from posting the same message over and over again.
The moral of the story is to be creative with your Craigslist posts. While it’s important to keep your posts current, it’s also important to keep them fresh.
