alabamafreddie 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have been posting ads on backpage in the adult escort section for a client. For the first week everything was fine, now everytime I post an ad there a 80 % chance it goes down. I have changed Ips, User agents, pictures, phone numbers, cleared cookies, flash cookies, changed computers and the problem still persists ! So I dont know what it is ? What could I be missing ?? Can Any of you backpage experts chime in please ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibingame 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I dont know whats the style / code your using for posting, but you might want to recheck on their policies. I am sure they would have made some recent changes, if google would have spanked them in search ranking. Infact you should also try asking them why is your ad getting removed.

LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 change titles, and use short code links your likely flagged by someone to flagging your ads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alabamafreddie 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Short code links...such as tiny url...why ?? And I sent an email in...no reason or answer from them yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 yes like tiny url reason being is they might be1. watched by there system to see how many times a link is showing up in multiple posts.2. someone might be scanning the postings in those sections and flagging anything without their link, or specifically with your link (i've done this with a lot of classified sites.)

HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I would try posting a few with the same kind of content and without a link to see what happens too. I agree with TJ in that it probably is somebody flagging your ads. You might be able to narrow down how they are targeting and why the ads are getting banned. It could be all posts with links for example or just the ones with your specific link. If you know what their targeting it will be easier to circumvent them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alabamafreddie 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well I stopped posting with a link. The only thing I have that is identfiable is the phone number. I think that might be the problem not sure.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edward_2 85 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 same problem with craigslist... your probably being ghosted. Inappropriate content someone may have flagged you as spam or (strangely enough) even if the add sounds sleazy in one of the admins eyes... then it comes down. Google it... They have some pretty strange ideas as to what is a suitable post when it comes to escorts or dating. Maybe have a profile pic with her in a Burka. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peleus 2 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Maybe they updated their server and blocked your link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thinkaholic 4 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 If you use the same phone number, spin it with something like. {Call:|Contact:|Call Us!|Phone|Mobile|Private|Call Me:|Call Now!} {123-456-7890|(123) 456-7890|[123]456-7890|1.2.3 - 4.5.6 - 7.8.9.0|1 2 3 - 4 5 6 - 7 8 9 0|123-456-789O} The last number uses the letter O instead of a zero.
