Wow jcorkern, sorry I missed your post above.
Quite detailed! Thanks once again for sharing your expertise.

Important to note, I think he's talking about regular local business ads but if you want to do this for affiliate marketing you will face lots of challenges. Craigs does not allow affiliate links (I don't think) plus users will mark your ads as spam. Also there are limits on how often you can place ads or you can get banned.

So if you are a San Diego Realtor - great! If you are using this for any other type of marketing or just to get top rankings you better study up on Craigslist a bit more before trying anything.
