You have a couple of options when creating hyperlinks on Craigslist. First lets explain a couple of options that you have to get people to your website.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have people respond to your Reply To: address. Then send them an email with your web site address in there. This option is probably what Craigslist was intended for. However, it\u2019s the least likely of the scenarios that will get visitors to your site.<\/li>\n
  2. You can write out your web site address like thiswww.MyCoolSite.<\/em>com . It will not be clickable, but will most likely pass most, if not all, of Craigslist SPAM filters. Clickable hyperlinks are always prefered, but if you can\u2019t create one, this is probably the best way to go. Make sure you tell your readers what they are supposed to do:
    \nCut-n-Paste this into your Web Browser => www.MyCoolSite.com<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Just type out, in plain text, your website address complete with the\u00a0http:\/\/<\/em>\u00a0like this\u00a0http:\/\/www.MyCoolSite.com<\/em>\u00a0. By doing this, Craigslist will outomatically wrap your web site in the correct HTML to make it clickable. This works, and it works just fine. Infact, I\u2019ve never been detected of flagged by Craigslist filters or the SPAM cops by using this technique. My only complaint, is that you cannot define your own anchor text. Your URL\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0your anchor text.<\/li>\n
  4. A better alternative, if possible, is to create your own hyperlink using HTML. You can do this by typing this:
    \n<a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/mycoolsite.com\/\u201d>Anchor Text<\/a>
    \n<\/em>This works great, when Craiglist allows it. The\u00a0Anchor Text<\/em>can be any text you would like. This is the text that people see and you want them to click on. For instance, Anchor Text could be\u00a0Click Here<\/em>,\u00a0Visit My Website<\/em>,\u00a0Make Money Today<\/em>, or\u00a0My Cool Site<\/em>.This is preferred to the other methods mentioned above. With this method you have control of what people actually click on and what they see. However, in my experience, sometimes Craigslist does not allow this kind of link to be created without your entire ad being flagged or ghosted.<\/li>\n
  5. The best possible way to create hyperlinkse would be using the method outlined in number 4 above, with a twist. That twist would be to actually hide your personal URL with a psudo or redirected URL. There are many service that allow you to do this. Probably the one most popular is\u00a0TinyURL<\/a>. There are many many of these services available for you to use. The only caveat to this is that most of the time, Craigslist will ghost your ad if you use one of these methods. If you can get your ads posting by using a redirector service, it is by far, the best way to post an ad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That information came from Blogspot .com. I was surprised to learn this about putting links on craigslist.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

    Like I mentioned I am still learning but I found this information valuable and I will be trying it to see how things go.<\/p>\n

    Putting links on craigslist<\/strong><\/a> is not as hard as I thought. Good luck in your endeavors whatever they may be.<\/p>\n
