There is no section or category for posting affiliate links since those links are disallowed on craigslist. This article talks specifically about clickbank links but applies to other sffiliate links as well:
"Posting Clickbank ads on Craigslist
To get around Craigslist not allowing you to post Clickbank hoplinks in the Craigslist ads you need to post a hyperlink in Craigslist that sends the user to your own web site which will then seamlessly redirect them to the Clickbank ad your promoting. I know that you are thinking you can do this within a free blog or free website but I tried it and it only works for several hours and then Google disables blogs that redirect to Clickbank. Therefore you need to purchase your own cheap web site that has a built in redirect feature where you simply type in your Clickbank hoplink. Then place the hyperlink to your own redirect website in your craigslist ad."

I'm trying to post my affiliated link in Craigslist but they have a very strict criteria for posting. Which category should i post in?
I finally was able to post on Craigslist but now i've been having serious problems posing on Kijiji. I changed the wording of my post as the customer support suggested but it still won't post. Very frustrated. Tired too though because i have not slept. Been up all night with my son helping him after his wisdom teeth were extracted yesterday..... Maybe i just need to get some sleep.
I have also tried changing the wording of my advertizement and still it won't be accepted. Very frustrating :(
I placed my ad on Craiglist under "small business" - I think if you post it as a job Craigslist will remove it.
Not having fun posting on Kijiji. Posting an ad on Kijiji without being very specific is impossible. I don't want to mention Wealthy Affiliates because then what's the point of my link. And i don't want to post that it's a tutorial for blogging. And it costs money to post a link in an advertizement. Unfortunately, i don't have money to spend. :( So, for me it seems posting on Kijiji won't work out.
what do you mean by "what is your product"? You mean what i'm trying to post? Sorry, i don't understand the question.
Ya, and i did that but now i'm having a problem with Kijiji. They say there is something in the body of my posting that is prohibited but i can't figure it out. I took out the link for WA and i removed anything that sais "free" in it and it still won't accept my posting.
Going to keep trying but if i still can't figure it out, i'll live chat with their customer support.
Hi Shawn, I got my answer from Kijiji. They were very helpful. Something Craigslist is not. When placing an ad in Kijiji you cannot say, "get rich scam" or "get rich". It will block you. Also, the words "unlimited income". It also should describe exactly what the ad pertains to. In other words, i should have said "Wealthy Affiliates" or "blogging for income" but i also don't want to say Wealthy Affiliates because then what's the purpose of my link, right?
The following is the exact conversation i had and what she said:
Jennifer R: First off Maxine, "get rich scam" or "get rich" is going to block you.
You: ok......anything else?
Jennifer R: I have to read the whole thing, that jumped out right away.
You: ok......no problem. i have time :)
Jennifer R: "unlimited income"
Jennifer R: What is it you are trying to post?
You: It's an advertizement for Wealthy Affiliates.
Jennifer R: What is that?
You: It's a program that that teaches blogging and making money doing it.
Jennifer R: It says nothing about that in your ad.
You: I know but i also didn't think that placing a link to their home page would be allowed. Am i wrong?
Jennifer R: You can pay to place a link to the page. It is $5 per ad.
Jennifer R: If you want to offer a course to teach people how to blog, you can do so. However, you clearly have to say that is what the course is for. The ad you have created above so far is irrelevant and makes no sense. I had to ask what it was you were trying to advertise.
You: I see and that's it? So all i have to do is change my wording and add something more descriptive?
Jennifer R: Yes, you need to clearly outline what it is the course is about.
You: ok, thank you very much. Have a great day :)
It didn't help much Shawn. I changed my advertizement following the instructions of the customer service agent. Took out all the words she claimed was preventing my posting. I even mentioned that it's about blogging. I didn't want to go into too much detail. Still it would not post! :(
