If you want more traffic to your website or blog, Craigslist is one of the best places to get free unlimited traffic to your site.
Your're not looking for traffic you're looking for targeted traffic, and craigslist = quality targeted traffic.
Here I'm going to give you a few tips to posting on craigslist to get the most out of your time and efforts.
First, never post the same ad to multiple cities, this is considered cross posting and SPAM.
It might work for a while for some people but sooner or later Craigslist robots will stop you right in your tracks. Your ads will start getting flagged and you'll wonder why. Trust me.
Instead of posting the same ad all across craigslist, you can mix it up a little by switching up headline and body with each ad, while still promoting the same product or service.
You must use different IP addresses to help avoid getting flagged.
Craigslist knows you by your IP address(your computer's identity.) Try to change your IP address between every 10 post.
You also want to change e-mail accounts very often. Post no more than 10 ads per day on one e-mail account.
After you have posted 10 ads or less on one e-mail account, then create another account, but don't forget to change your IP address in between.
You can change your IP address by using a proxy at proxy.org. This is vital to getting lots of traffic through craigslist.
No matter how much traffic craigslist gets, if you don't have eye popping headlines and a short brief ad, you will be wasting your time.
Make your headline so that it will draw urgency or curiosity to the reader.
Here's an example: If your selling a lawn mower, your ad could say something like this: "can your lawn mower do this?"
See this headline will draw curiosity to the reader to click your ad to see what's happening.
You'll never know unless you try it.

Router not rebooting
By: mukesh | 30-05-2008
problem upgrading the firmware for my F5D7633uk4A - ADSL Modem with High-Speed Mode Wireless-G Router. The offending firmware was downloaded and the router upgraded. It tried to reboot but now it just sits with a permanent red light glowing on the power button and it just wont boot-up. I have tried a 'soft' Reset and a Factory Default one but nothing works. I appears truly 'dead' (can't even get to the Router Homepage to check anything). The firmware to AVOID is F5D9630-4AV1_UK_1.00.11.BIN. I've emailed Belkin but don't hold-out much hope of a satisfactory resolution
