A Way to Get Your Craigslist Postings to the Top

In the early days of Craigslist, the only way to get your ad back to the top of search results was to delete and resubmit it. Now, you have the ability to renew your ads. Renewing an ad changes its posting date and time to the current date and time, which moves it right back to the top of Craigslist searches. You can renew your ad every 48 hours until the ad's expiration date, which is 30 days from the time it was listed, and you can do it even if you listed your ad without a Craigslist account.
