Discover the Truth About Listing Your Business on Craigslist | SF Bay Area

In summary, the consultant cannot advertise online and is only allowed to sell their products through cooking shows. If they are caught selling their products elsewhere, they will be audited and potentially be banned from selling their products.

I just emailed the consultant and she said thanks that she didn't know and that she was taking it down.
 
Quite some time ago...I found out that some sites, like Yahoo Search, Google and Craig's List just pull the names often keyed in sites. IF THEY APPEAR IN THE LIGHT BLUE portions of the Yahoo Search or at the top of the list on Google in a highlighted area, those ads were paid for. If not, it was an unsolisited (sp?) listing. The consultant usually did not do it.
