Getting referrals from craigslist?
« on: December 13, 2011, 03:17:00 pm »

You're not permitted to post your referral link anywhere that it is unwelcome.  craigslist terms of service expressly forbid the posting of referral links.  So you have to think of something else.

If you decide to post your referral link on craigslist anyway, the referral link automatically gets broken and you don't get credit for anyone who clicks through.  So it's really not worth it.

So how about using Craigslist to attract people to our blog and to Fusioncash from there?

It's a violation of craigslist TOS and they have been known to sue people who repeatedly post things in violation of the Terms of Service.

As long as you aren't promoting FC directly on craigslist then we're not likely to have a problem with it.

You can try backpage.com and kugli.com  They are like craigslist but they are a lot less strict with the rules.  Unfortunately they are a lot less popular so you may not get a lot of traffic from them.

It's funny to me that Craigslist won't allow links to a legitimate site like Fusion Cash, but scams abound on the site. Go figure.

They have too many posts to manually review them all.  A good chunk of CL posts are in violation of their Terms of Service, but it usually has to be egregious to get enough "flags" to bring it down.

I don't like Craigslist anyway. It takes ao long to post anything, and then you can only post it in local areas. It would be better if you could post it to everywhere.
