I recently placed an Ad in Craigslist to try and draw some readers to a new blog of mine. Not sure if it is working or not. Anyone want to learn more about insurance can click http://www.grandcanyonquotes.blogspot.com

You can reach the audience of a whole country with one single ad.

I just checked out your site - really good!

I like the way you can choose country/state/town etc but you can still list to whole country is approprieate. Nice one.

Depends on what you want to use CL for. We are a real estate company and we get a ton of traffic and calls when we advert our properties. However, most of the people inquiring from CL are incompetent buyers; meaning they don't know the first thing about real estate and have wildly different expectations than buyers we get from other sources. Still, it is great for traffic, laughs, and occassionally a bonafide buyer.

Does it work as well for digital products as it does for physical?

If worked correctly you can get a huge amount of volume from the site.
Just be careful to follow the rules.
Most "commercial sites" are not allowed to post and most people don't realize this. Most websites are considered "commercial" by their rules.
You can sell a "used I-Pod" as an individual, however, if you have a website that sells I-Pods, it can not post.

Craigslist works. Can you get your IP blocked? Yes, so change it before your posts. Can your ad get flagged? Yes don't use duplicates. A tip is to use an image ad that redirects back to your web page. Be smart do a little homework and you can build a good deal of traffic to your site.

One final note. If you are wanting to optimize your site consider using an appropriate title in your post. CL has a huge public rank and a well planned ad could become a natural search in hours.

I have a site for posting free ads! I love it I get so many hits from google to ads placed by users and to my home page. I mainly get traffic from google to my users ads.
Make sure to upload a logo or image with your ad so it will show randomly on the home page and in the category you place your ad.
I have just begun making local listings, feel free to post ads in any of them.
