Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts
The latest move by Craigslist has caused massive uproar from the Craigslist marketing community. It all started when Craigslist required Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts to post in the most heavily trafficked erotic services section. This was just the testing phase Craigslist was under going before further and more wide implementation of the system. Phone verification requires all Craigslist users to first verify their account via a valid phone number before they are allowed to post in the services section. All that is required is that you use a valid phone number so as to receive a pin verification code. Once done your account is ready to post on Craigslist with. After the introduction of phone verification, there have been some obvious changes. Phone verified accounts permit you to only post one ad every 48 hours in sections that require phone verification. Not having access to enough phone numbers to create enough phone verified accounts has forced many advertisers to severely reduce the number of ads they have been posting. Craigslist continues to fight spam and now just having a Craigslist proxy isn’t enough, you need phone numbers as well. Overall, the introduction of Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts has definitely changed Craigslist forever.
