The latest move by Craigslist has caused massive uproar from the Craigslist marketing community, or furthermore from Craigslist marketers. Just what was this move exactly? The introduction of phone verification on some sections on Craigslist. Since then, more and more sections have fallen victim to requiring phone verified accounts in order to post ads and has changed forever how marketers use Craigslist.
It all started when Craigslist required phone verified accounts to post in the most heavily trafficked section, that being the erotic services section. The main reason for this was to try and control the amount of illegal ads being placed there. This was just the testing phase Craigslist was undergoing before further and more wide implementation of the system to almost every section on Craigslist. Just what does phone verification mean for you if you want to post on Craigslist? In a nutshell, to post in any of the services section you must first verify your account via phone. If you do not verify your account first, there is no way that you can post an ad. None at all.
