As we all know Craig's List is getting more and more undesirable because of the spamming and scamming. We have all had enough.
Bobsfreelist.com (as seen on Google, Ask.com, and Yahoo) is a new Classified site that encourages the free posting of Videos and photos to promote the sale of goods, services and listing jobs. Bob is user friendly like Craig or E-bay, but offers many more posting options. Post as often as you like, whenever you like.
I posted my first ad today and it was easy and took me no time at all. For the time being I am going to try it out and see how the response is. I thought it would be worthwhile to pass along so if you are already familiar with it the input would be appreciated!
Hi Debra, I've never heard of Bob's Free List so I'm parking here to get any input. If you have success, let us know! I sold one lot on Craig's list a few years ago, but became disenchanted with them and haven't posted there in a long time.
Debra, I too had never heard of Bob's... I for one though hope that CraigsList will get things under controll. They are such a great site it would be a shame for the bad guys to win...
Wow Debra - this could be a very good thing! Thanks for passing the info on. We'll try it tomorrow. I was so tired of all the spammers!!
Debra: Do you know if it has any higher quality spam protectors in place or will it end up just like Craigslist?
I agree Craigslist is getting bad, but as long as it is free I don't know how they can clean it up.
Debra, never heard of BOb's free list so thanks for sharing and do keep us posted on your results.
Debra - don't even say the word "Craigslist" around me.. I just had a listing of mine become a craigslist victim this month.. the whole experience was awful... and to make it worse.. I don't even post on CL ...
Hello Debra, like some of the other commenter's I've never heard of it either. I posted a few things on Craigslist in the past and ended up with a lot more spam. I'll check this out a little later after I've visited some of my friends here in AR. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for this blog post about BobsFreeList.com, Debra! I'm going to check it out.
BTW, we've had success with CraigsList...when we bought our Victory Jackpot (and also with leasing out rental properties)! :)

Thanks for all the comments! Jane, no I don't know if they have anything better in place. I just came across it this week and I am willing to give it a try. Sometimes when it is new like that you get some good hits. Also because it is new it may be decent to use for the next year or so if not longer.
Thanks for the heads up; I don't post on Craigslist any longer for several reasons, but will definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
Will take a look now. Thanks for the information. Lately I have had weird things happen with craigslist.
I never heard of this...good to know. I be interested to hear if you have any luck with it.
I have never heard of Bob's Free list. I am glad I stopped by your blog today. I just wrote a blog today about Maintaining your reputation. I shared some new sites as well. Check it out if you can. Have a great weekend. Great post.
I can't stand Craigslist. The spam I get from posting ads is ridiculous, the site has became totally irrelevant!
Susan-Good luck!
Angelica-Craigslist is such a headache these days!
Sharon-So far nothing but sometimes it takes awhile. But no grief and that is all I care about right now. LOL
Lanre-Thanks and thanks for stopping by!
David-I kind of feel the same way. Maybe this new site will work out alot better.
Certainly worth a try- last year Craigslist was great, but this year it hasn't done much for me except fill my mailbox with Viagra ads.
