Improve Your Craigslist Ad Design

How To Pimp Your Craigslist Post

May 30, 2007

If there’s one thing ~~aspiring entrepreneurs~~ we all love, it’s free access to great resources like Craigslist. Although Craigslist initially started as an e-mail distribution for social events, it has quickly become a jack of all trades for everything from personal ads to cheap viral marketing for startups (hint hint). Yet aside from uploading four images and writing a witty post description, there’s not much you can do to make your post stand out from the rest of the plain text crowd – until now.

How to add some “bling” to your Craigslist posting…

Craigslist allows HTML to format your post layout and text, which is all fine and dandy if you’re versed in HTML coding or handy with an HTML editor like Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver. The only inconvenience is that custom images require separate hosting and a custom layout requires manual coding. Instead, you can simplify the process by using vFlyer to take care of all the formatting and coding for you. Here’s a summary of the process:

Step 1: Sign up for the free vFlyer Personal plan.

Step 2: Create your flyer, there are a number of types to choose from.

Create your flyer...

Step 3: Edit and publish your flyer.

Edit and publish your flyer...

Step 4: Copy and paste the HTML code to your Craigslist post.

Copy and paste your code to Craigslist...

What you’re left with is a nice, eye catching post:

Before
After

So what’s the benefit?

The first thing to note is that you are no longer restricted to the Craigslist default of four pictures since vFlyer allows up to 15 photos to be uploaded, the only caveat is that users are redirected to an external vFlyer page to view the slide show. There are also 14 templates for you to choose from with the option to create a custom theme if your heart desires. Also, the vFlyer code can be used on other sites such as eBay and MySpace, and last but not least you can email and print these flyers for distribution.

In conclusion…

Standing out from the crowd is a great idea (unless you’re a zebra), and free tools like vFlyer can easily provide some much needed eye candy to help you sell and promote your products, services, blog, company, et cetera in front of millions of Craigslist users without the need to learn or code HTML. Yet if you’re one of those adventurous types who wants to try a custom solution, you can pretty much do anything with HTML in your Craigslist post as long as it meets the HTML and photo requirements.

Sincerely,
The Closet Entrepreneur

Post Scriptum: There are vFlyer alternatives such as postlets and ClassifiedFlyerAds just in case you want to try something different. If you’ve tried either of these services or know of a service I may have missed, please feel free to leave a comment and tell us about it.

Top Craigslist Tips

Good find.
I normally write the html my self or use a custom program I wrote to display the inventory on one of my used cars sites. But this is great for someone who wants to get it done faster or doesn’t know how to code!

So very true. A good listing on Craigslist can do wonders for a search engine listing with a brand new site. Not only that but it is quite a high PR link back. The trouble I had was actually getting the html linking code to work better. Your post here has just helped me out of one very deep problem that I was having. Well Done.

@TopCraiglistTips: Would you mind sharing a link to one of your Craigslist ads for all to see?

@TerryG: It sounds like you’ve came across some big benefits by using Craigslist to promote your website(s) – any tips you would mind sharing with us?

I like classifiedflyerads.com because of the different template style choices and because they post to more directories. A little easier and quicker to use too.

@TerryG: It sounds like you�ve came across some big benefits by using Craigslist to promote your website(s) – any tips you would mind sharing with us?

Yes I started the anxiety site and listed each day for two days on Craigslist. I found Google indexed the site within 24 hours. Y and MSN were a bit slower and have not indexed the whole site totally but some. The good thing was that no pages under Google hit the supplemental results index nor was it sandboxed. Site submitters charge a lot of money to do this and I have just done it for free. All I need now is to continue with high PR sites linking so when the next page ranking comes around the whole site will hit PR3+. I suspect using this method with pages in the supplemental index would pull them out and into the natural index as well. I am yet to try this but I cannot see why not, anyway, if done it would only take overnight to find out. If I can help anymore just let me know.

I use CraigslistAdMaker.com… it’s free and you don’t need design or coding skills. I’ve gotten a better response when I’ve used the craigslist ad maker.

Hey Tomas, Thanks for writing this posting up. I recently put a job listing up on Craigslist and used the method you walked through. We wound up getting a really great response, and I think there’s no question that compared to a sea of text ads, the extra design really makes it stand out.

The only one of these I can get working on CL is Vflyer. Classiflyerads is more flexible with html, but will not show up on CL. CL admaker has the same problem.

Oct 4th, 2007
TOMAS

@jeff m – I’ve never tried using classifiedflyerads.com or craigslistadmaker.com, but I do know that CL uses various filters to keep spammers from posting on CL. Unfortunately, regular posters are not exempt from these same filters. Case in point, I used Vflyer to post a washer/dryer that I had for sale and although I could access the post through the URL that was provided, it wouldn’t show up on CL under the respective category. Even worse, my post wouldn’t show up in any search results. Ultimately, I had to remove all but the most essential html, delete my post, wait a few hours, and then repost my ad just to get it to show up on CL (and in the search results). I’m not sure if Vflyer is aware of this (I guess I could email them ), but I do know that they regularly make updates to their service to account for such issues. Hopefully no one else runs into the same issue.

Oct 5th, 2007
James

Yes CL uses various filters and it is not specific to vflyer or classifiedflyerads.com. CL has been tightening up lately. They have also been having issues with ads not showing up on the list pages. This is currently stated on their system status page and is happening with html and non-html ads.

After reading about Craigslist ‘tightening’ up their policies, I waa a little leary about spending time working on a post design that might not work.
V-flyer worked perfectly. I was really happy with the process, professional output and ease of application.
Thanks for the great idea.
The improved and professional ‘look’ was exactly what I was looking to create.
Many many thanks!

I tried vflyer twice and both my CL ads got flagged and removed. I re-posted my ads not using the vlfyer format and they were not flagged. Seems like CL users will flag your ad if its vflyer or too much bling.

Feb 23rd, 2008
TOMAS

@Jimmy: Same thing happened to me, and strangely it is hit and miss because I’ve come across some CL ads that were using just as much html as the vFlyer ad I was using. Well, at least you could get away with using vFlyer on eBay without issue.

I use classifiedflyerads.com on a regular basis. The interface is clean and efficient. They have 5 “plans” that are very competitive. You can review their pricing plan here, http://www.classifiedflyerads.com/compare-plans.php. As stated in previous comments, they also provide HTML for Craigslist. Visit the FAQ section for Craigslist specific information. They also provide a ton of templates to select from.

Craigslist is a great website for lots of traffic. I use the Craigslist Auto Poster Software to post my ads. Its a great tool, but just dont spam with it, and you will be ok.

Hey, all. I’m developing a new tool that I think everyone in here would really enjoy. Unlike the other services listed here, my application does graphical (image) ads rather than HTML ads. We’re launching the beta version this week and we’d love to see some community feedback and feature requests. Let me know what you think!

Listing-Doctor.com

- Cody Snider

Jul 2nd, 2008
TOMAS

@Cody Snider – Listing-Doctor looks like it has some potential especially since Craigslist’s spam filters focus more on html and not images. One thing I did notice is that the uploaded images on the ‘Add Info’ page show up as broken links in Firefox 3 – I haven’t tried it out on IE or Safari yet. The uploaded images do show up when you check the preview though.

As for feedback, although the system appears to be quite intuitive for the most part, it might be a good idea to put some instructions on the ‘Add Info’ page just so users know what each section is for. Also, more templates would be nice along with the ability to create your own custom template.

Good luck on making this a solid app, it might just be the answer to the issues everyone has been having with Craigslist’s html filters.

Looking to create clickable links for my craigslist ad.

Here are a few suggestions for simple, easy, FREE wysiwyg to html code converters.

http://www.online-html-editor.de/index_en.php
http://www.fckeditor.net/demo
http://htmlcode.discoveryvip.com/

You may find others. You just type and spruce up your ad copy in the Rich Text editor, then click a button to generate the equivilant HTML code.

Those other sites you mentioned are for template-based editing. For most craigslist users that just want to create clickable links, photos, and maybe bold, bullet, and paragraph text but not make it look like a spam ad, or some commercialized ad. But that it was written by an actual private individual that is just looking to sell their stuff.

For some crazy reason, craigslist could not include a Rich-Text-Editor or offer some basic html functionality. I guess in a way, they want to keep the site simple for regular everyday people. It is already bombarded enough.

One tip I recommend is using notepad to copy, paste, and save your html periodically. No need to type a lengthy ad just to find out that your craigslist acct timed out and now you must resubmit.

4evermaat

Okay, after writing several lengthy ads that because I hit a button or dragged something with my mouse that caused me to visit another webpage, when you press the back button, it wipes ALL the text from the form. I had to RETYPE those ads each time. So my advice now is to just use Gmail or another email host that allows for autosave of the message every x minutes. With google, I never worried about my ad copy becoming lost while I type online. Then when you are finished in gmail and all associated formatting, take that text, copy it into http://www.reallgraphics.com/Editor/index.asp , then convert the pasted text into html code by clicking the conversion button, which is

I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know that ClassifiedFlyerAds.com has made some modifications to the CL posting HTML we provide you. It’s works well with the Craigslist HTML limitations and the flyers look great on CL. Note: our system does not post the flyer for you. This is against CL terms. We simply provide you with CL compatible HTML that you can use to post yourself.

Aug 27th, 2008
MIGUEL T

Misty. This is great news! I just tried it for myself. The CL posting HTML looks AWESOME. I love it. The flyer I created was X10 NightWatch2 Black & White Low-light Video Camera – $29. I see that you also lowered your pricing. I use to be a ‘pay per flyer’ guy. Not so, anymore. I love the yearly subscription discount. I also noticed that you offer Ebay Store advertising? I will have to look into that. I am sure glad that I checked the box to get notifications when this post is updated. Thanks again, Misty!

Custom Craigslist ads are indeed better then going with the limited options CL offers .
I run a advertise a few product of mine on Craigslist and I have to tell you sometimes there is a huge difference between a good looking ad and a poor one , it really makes or breaks your business .
I use 899 for my designs, great guys to work with
http://www.899webdesign.com/craigslist.html , for every product I had them create me a different ad, instead of putting all my services into one ad , my response rate went up noticeably by the niche targeting .

This is horrible advice. Craigslist users don’t like overly fancy ads and it’s all too often that people with flagged ads come in wondering why they suffered such a fate.

You see how Craigslist is plain-text? Keep it that way or expect to get flagged.

Feb 5th, 2009
Michael

I have been using http://www.flyercafe.com to find tenants for my rental houses. It has worked quite well, have two of four rented in just over a week. I think the ability to add so many pictures and look a little more straightforward does help.

Feb 6th, 2009
TOMAS

@Winston Salem Luxury Homes – I don’t believe that CL will let you embed You-Tube video since it strips much of the needed code from the embed code. Of course, you could always link to a You-Tube video.

Feb 7th, 2009
Tommy

No, you can’t add youtube on CL but you can use freecraigslistads.com to create a flyer and you will see it lets you add the youtube code, then go to craigslist and paste the code.

That’s a nice design. Is the vflyer actually a page that is on craigslist or another server? Sorry I just don’t quite understand where the page resides.

Feb 21st, 2009
TOMAS

@Web site designer – From what I gather, the images reside on vFlyer’s servers and are called by the html code used in the Craigslist ad.

Postlets comment:
Overall I am delighted (visually) with my Postlet Craigs List ad and the syndication. I think it is more attractive than your vflyer ad I saw. This ad is in Belmont CA for Summerhill Cambridge. Price: $799,000. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/reb/1046454562.html

Property Website: http://700LiveOak.com

As a Realtor in the greater Palo Alto and San Francisco Peninsula, I need all the “edge” I can get.

What I don’t like about Postlets is that it automatically autoloads the number of bedrooms into the title. This particular property is spectacularly located, but the 2 bedrooms in the title hurts traffic.

If Vflyers doesn’t do this, then I would go with them for Real Estate syndication. Oh yes, Postlets will enable you to syndicate your ad on many sites.

The Postlet flyer is beautiful. If you want more than five photos, you have to pay (subscribe) for that so this is also an advantage to Vflyers.

Generally, no matter how many bedrooms a seller is offering, buyers want one more for the price. But of course bringing everyone together IS the job.

For me the best Craigslist Ad design Service is provided by Junin Design. Their website is: http://www.JuninDesign.com Their Ad Designs start from $9.99 and they also give you one free Ad design. To get one free ad design, all you need to do is order four ad designs of the same price and they give you the fifth completely free of the same price. Their rates are unbelievable for all the features you get for your ad. Everybody should try their service. Don’t pay $89.99 just for a static picture ad. For a lot less money you can even get animation and photo slideshows with Junin Design. They are the best!!!

I recently rebuilt my wedding photography website, and will be posting an ad this week on craigslist. The thing that interests me the most from reading all the above comments is that the ads can help you in your page rank quest. I will do my utmost to find out if this is true. I have a beautiful site that sits with a big fat zero. We will see how long it lasts. Thanks all for the info.

Craigslist does not except any youtube videos. It will not show any type of video! Craigslist is html based so you can only post html on craigslist. What you can do on craigslist is an animation. I promote my travel business on criagslist and http://www.whitebuffalodesignstudio.com does all my craigslist animated graphic ads. They look like video but you can post them on craigslist.
http://www.whitebuffalodesignstudio.com also made me a kick butt website. They have a host of services geared to the newbees like me to internet marketing. Their craigslist ad design start at only $45. so i was able to get two ads made for the price of those other companies. Hope this helps because i have seen many false ads advertising video on Craigslist.

Hey cody Flanagan,

Cheaper craigslist ads doesn’t mean better ads. I agree that paying $89 for a craigslist ad is a bit over budget. But looking at the $9 ads they do not look professional at all. After all you do want to portray confidence in your product or service. When you have studied marketing you will find that a visually appealing ad will increase a persons confidence and willing to work with your company. I found http://www.whitebuffalodesignstudio.com makes professional looking ads that are in every one’s budget $45. I agree that you should check out all your options and you will find that whitebuffalodesignstudio is one of the best services out there. They have great customer service too.

I don’t mess with vflyer, though it is a nice site. I use http://www.slipdex.com to create html (web-based) ads. The site is free, allows you to upload up to 5 pics (CL only 4 and they are poor quality) and http://www.slipdex.com even has this thing where you can track your ad’s views! Fill out the form, pick your template, it spits out the code and you copy it to craigslist. Simple, no sign up, no ads and it is FREE. Can’t get better than that!

We recently started using Vflyer. We looked at some of the other free services and the thing we liked about VFlyer was that is saved your ads and allowed you to update them. It also publishes to several different listing services so you don’t have to. As far as we could see, none of the other services did all of that.

Sep 23rd, 2009

@4WeHelp — I saw that you made an ad on adliked.com, I like adliked, it was nice and simple. http://www.slipdex.com doesn’t post the ad for you, but it does save the ads for you, up to like 100 I think, for later editing and whatnot. Vflyer I think is just a little over complicated.

We have been using VFlyer for quite awhile now. They do offer custom themes and you could ask them to create a fitness branded one. They also allow you to create your own theme.

The best part about them is their customer service. When you call you talk to a real live person that speaks English as their main language.

I personally use craigsflyer, they have some cool templates, I’m in real estate so I have like 5 options, it’s a dollar per ad, I know a customized ad is better but I just can’t afford paying $50 for one b/c I post many. they deliver the html code but keep images on their server which is cool.

here’s the link to it: craigsflyer.com

do you guys know of a good autoposter? but I don’t want to be banned from CL..
