Don't Post too Many Ads From Your IPs

Craigslist has a complex set of spam filters setup to prevent people from putting too many ads on Craigslist from a specific IP range. Craigslist users should know how many ads they can post from one IP on their Craigslist proxy per day safely without raising any alarms. The answer to this varies a lot. Generally speaking, don't post anymore than 20 ads per day from any one IP. You may be able to post more than this without raising any alarms, so it is not advised to go beyond 20 ads per day. Many people do infact post many ads from one IP each day, but over a prolonged period of time you may find that your IP is blocked. Just how many ads you do post per IP each day also depends on how many IPs you have on your proxy server. With a limited number of IPs try and post as many as you can to take advantage of your proxy server. Although you should never post multiple ads from one IP at any time. It is better to change your IP between posting ads. You need to do this to try and stop Craigslist from picking up that you are posting multiple ads
