1. Generating headlines - 100 headlines approach
By coming up with many headlines for your ad you increase the chances of having some of them "stick" on the post.
You might like to generate as many as up to 100 different headlines for a single product or service that you are promoting.
2. Include unique characters
By placing unique characters in front of each headline you increase the chances of the ad being overlooked by the 'removal bots'.
For example:

^^ This Email Address Can Have You In Money Fast! ^^
3. Using your domain name
Remember this key point as you are posting. Make each post as unique (or different) from the next--despite the fact that you may be selling the same product or service.
