Key to Never Having your Craigslist's Ad Flagged

If your wondering why your Craigslist ad got flagged, stop wondering.  Besides the obvious reasons that someone accidentally hit the flag checklist icon, another reason, may be just poor ad copy. Or it could be a state ad, an ad that  runs the same ad copy over and over again, week after week. Craigslist does recommend in its flagged for removal statements to reword your ad copy and post again.

Another reason that you are flagged is that there are just too many ads on Craigslist. Although it is not really known if Craigslist limits the number of total ads on its sites for a category, there are reports that it does. So before you post, check to see how many other ads are posted in your category. If there are a lot, odds might just be that you will get flagged.

Other reasons you might get flagged is that you have violated Craigslist's posting rules. Craigslist's rules, for example, don't let you post more than one ad per category. There are more posting rules at Craiglist's posting page

According to the  Craigslsist's links below, a Craigslist's user, the Craiglist's automated ad system, or  the Craigslistt's staff can flag an ad for removal. So you want to make sure you keep not only the humans happy, but Craigslist's automated flagging system below. Review
