Competition of advertising on craigslist.org is so high that some categories of the big cities like New York or San Francisco get thousands of ads. craigslist authority try hard and fast to reduce number of ads posted to acceptable limit. Phone verification is the latest attempt by craigslist to reduce number of postings.

I guess in the future more and more advertiser will give more importance on advertising on free classifieds instead of expensive PPC advertising.
