I made a static page, unlinked in this blog to anything. In 6 hours after placing the CL ad, that page ranked #4 in Google for "discount taxidermy" out of 1.45 million results. Of course, you won't see it in the Google results now, because it wasn't related to discount taxidermy at all. The only link to that page was a CL ad. With only a CL ad, it reached #4 in Google of 1.45 milion results in 6 hours. Why don't corporations do this? For the same reason you won't see Rolex watches at WalMart - product valuation. WalMart could sell Rolex watches, but Rolex doesn't want their name to become affiliated with "cheap". THey also don't use CL ads, because they don't have to. I do a lot of ecommerce work and I would never put an ad for it on CL, because: 1) I cost too much for the average CL budget (starting at 5 figures) 2) people who advertise their web services on CL are usually not very good 3) I don't need to.

So even with the no follow link I should still get a little juice from Craigs List. It Makes sense as Alexa ranks it at 37 in the world. Great, you answered my question in an easy and precise manner.

I agree that there is a least some value to the anchor text being a keyword you are optimizing for. We post at least twice a day and simply use a template thanks for the Advice.
