Lately some of our Realtors have been having their posts in Craigslist.com shut out for “linking to exterior websites”. I just wanted to make a quick post to confirm Craig’s policy on linking to your website.
Here is a tidbit of an email that I received from Craig about this question:
Steve,
“linking is okay, except for a general link back to a site, specific links, okay.”
Craig
Here is a quote from the Craigslist.com terms of use:
“Furthermore, the craigslist site and Content available through the Service may contain links to other websites, which are completely independent of craigslist.”
So, linking to your website is ok according to Craig and Craigslist terms of use. Please be sure to follow the rules that Craig has set out. Their system can really help promote your listings but ensure that you do not take advantage of it.
