Ive had some interest for my coach on this board and Ive tried to use craigslist but for some reason my posting does not show up on the list. Is there any other GMC sites that I can advertise on?

I saw your earlier note but, there didn't seem to be a link to any photos or more detailed info. You're missing a great opportunity if you don't list some photos.

Heck, any coach that just went 2.600 miles has proven some degreee of road-worthiness - which places it ahead of a LOT of the competition.

RC Jordan's web site relists CL ads. He's beginning to dominate google if you search "GMC motorhome for sale"

If you make a good CL ad with info and photos and if his search engine gets it then it will probably be seen by lots of people.

See if has your listing on his site:

http://www.gmcmotorhomesforsale.com/

message him if he doesn't

I've listed it and set it up as "Featured"

Bronevaya, to cut to the chase, you need to go find that thread on "what a CL ad should have" and do it.

Also, 454 engine??

Oh, and your CL ad is miscategorized. That's why my search missed it. If my search missed it, then so did people looking for rvs.

You currently have it under "cars & trucks - by owner"

Should be under "recreational vehicles"

when i say craigslist is not working its not that I am not getting hits, its that it will not list on the website at all. I see the ad that craigslist has emailed me, but I do not see it listed among the others even if I refresh the page an hour or two later. I think I finally got it to work last night under the RV section. doesnt help that I am on my phone tethering to a laptop.

I will be taking TONS more pictures today

rcjordan, the one you listed on your site is not mine (although it looks good)

here is an updated album

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8wrseuevagpv10w/ACd_PbyMqW?m

and this is a link to the CL ad

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/rvs/3657194085.html

the engine is a 405 (has five bolts on the valve cover)

You may want to change your title to "Motorhome" vice "Motorohome". Put the pictures on the Craigslist page, not just a link. Tidy up a bit, get rid of the trash. Get some pictures wit a nicer background.

I believe it looks at all the craiglists and parces out he ones that meet certain criteria.

Must in the RV section. Should have keywords "GMC" and "motorhome" (not sure of any others) Also needs to have some pictures posted with the ad.

RC Jordan should pipe-in if I'm missing or incorrect on anything.

>pipe in

You got it right, Richard.

Specifics: I have to work with Craigslist's anemic search function but if you post in the recreational vehicle section and include "gmc" "motorhome" or "motor home" and do NOT mention "class b", "class c" "camper", "1970", "1971", "1972", "1979", "1980", "1981", "1982", "1983", or "1984" then your ad should make it to my desk.

That said, making it to my queue doesn't mean it's automatically included. I'm actively curating/selecting/positioning the CL ads, so that we can use them to promote GMC ownership to the next generation. I'll note here that I do not change the content of the ads, but I will highlight some while deprecating others. Some --such as no pix, delusional pricing, or a whiff of scam-- are buried or dropped entirely. Others, like that Palm Beach in Seattle or the Denver diesel are selected to be "featured."

The site now ranks 3rd & 4th on the front page of Google for "gmc motorhomes for sale" --that's pretty good. More importantly, it has moved up the the 3rd page for "motorhomes for sale" --that's also pretty good, given the relatively short time I've been working on this. But it needs to be page 1.

Oh, and don't spam CL. I actively penalize ads that get to be a nuisance.
