Check out the following article, which is an interesting and stupid use of Craigslist: Jealous mistress arrested for advertising on social networking site for hitman to kill her lover's wife.
"A jealous mistress has been arrested after advertising on the internet for a hitman to kill her lover's wife. Mother-of-two Ann Marie Linscott posted the message on the popular Craigslist social networking and advertising site. The 49-year-old had requested someone to perform a "freelance" job.
How dumb do you have to be to use Craigslist this way? Also, this article mentions that Craigslist is a social networking tool. I don't agree with this description. Craigslist is a classified ads site that doesn't integrate any of the elements of social networking.
Regardless of the online system, you shouldn't take advantage of these tools to do something illegal and immoral. Check out my previous post about another wrong use of social networking software: Sad Story about Cyber-bullying on MySpace.
Do you have any stories to share about bad judgment and social networking tools?

Advertising on Craigslist vs. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is another type of marketing which many business owners find to be both worthwhile and affordable. For many the appeal of affiliate marketing is the affiliates are not compensated for their efforts unless the business owner sees some type of gain from the advertising. This gain may be in the form of website traffic in the case of pay per click marketing, in the form of sales in pay per sale marketing or in the form of potential leads when a website visitor performs a specific action such as registering with a website or signing up for an offer.
While affiliate marketing is very appealing there are others who prefer advertising on Craigslist. The advantages Craigslist offers to advertisers is, of course, that the advertisers never pay for their business advertisements and the community receives a great deal of website traffic already so driving traffic to the website is not a concern.
