How to Keep My Business at the Top of Craig's List
Craigslist is a popular free online classifieds listing where users can post ads for their businesses. Depending upon how many people in your area use Craigslist, your ad can quickly become buried beneath new ads, as newer ads are displayed first. A Craigslist ad expires in 30 days. However, most people don't navigate past the first couple pages. So how do you keep your business at the top of Craigslist? Unfortunately, the only way to do so is to repost your ad frequently---every day or every few hours.

Tips & Warnings
