Craigslist Ads Not Showing in the search result?

Question

My ads is active in my dashboard but when i checked my ads in the right category and place, it's not showing in the list of ads.

What is the problem? Did craigslist blocked my IP?

Answer 1

Your ad was most likely ghosted.  This could happen for a number of reasons.  Maybe like you said, your IP has been blocked due to abuse, it may be because you are using a free proxy and Craigslist has blocked IPs from that proxy.  It could be because you posted too many ads in a specified time and those ads all look the same and their spam filter picked it up.  It could also be because you posted html codes/images or whatever in specific sections that are not allowed by Craigslist and again your ad was filtered as spam.  As you can see there are a lot of reasons why/what could have caused this.

Answer 2

Actually your ad is removed by craigslist's spam filter due to blocked IP or banned content or over posting.

This phenomenon is popularly known as "ghosting"
