# Craigslist Ad Posting

## What's the best setup for Craigslist ad posting?

* **Use different accounts for each region.**

You will need to register accounts using the proxy for a specific region to minimize the risk of being blocked or ghosted on Craigslist.

* **Use city-specific proxies to post in the appropriate region.**

For this, either use our city endpoints (New York | Los Angeles | Chicago | Houston | Miami | London | Berlin | Moscow) or [**Advanced parameters**](https://help.decodo.com/docs/residential-proxy-advanced-parameters#/) to specify a city that's not listed above. Use sticky ports for ad posting and rotating ports to scrape data.

<Warning>
  ### IP Availability

  Backconnect entry node does not guarantee the IP availability of cities at all times, as the IP pool varies in those that do not have their own endpoint.
</Warning>

## What are the best practices when posting ads on Craigslist?

One ad per section per 48 hours.

* A safe rule to avoid getting flagged/ghosted.
  * Localize ads for each region.
  * Avoid spamming the same ad. Nowadays, anti-bot systems are clever enough to recognize such spam, and doing the opposite will result in all of the accounts getting flagged/ghosted.
  * **Don't post everything at once.**

To remain undetected, it's best to spread out the postings randomly.
