Your website is very nice and shows some talent and skill... But to be brutally honest it looks like an advanced amateur site and doesn't define what services you offer or show examples of your work for various commercial purposes... no weddings, no info about portrait services, no couples portraits, no real estate images, and nothing about anything else you might want to offer. No pricing (aside from the price to buy prints of two particular images, I assume to frame and hang on the wall), no indication of your "work area" beyond your address. At least you have your phone number and address... but no email or any other means of contact besides the form on the site? Nice statement about how you feel about photography. But nothing about how you feel about providing photographic services to clients... your business philosophy, so to speak... which to my mind is more important when asking people to hire you. Look up some SUCCESSFUL professional (i.e., "paid") photographers' sites and see what they list. Put yourself in the shoes of various types of clients such as you and they want to appeal to, then grade your site and their whether your encouraged to contact them for their services. Create some urgency, too. "Book your event now to avoid scheduling conflicts that may prevent us from serving you!"
You probably are getting "bumped" from Craiglist because someone is flagging your ads. It's fairly common and easy to do... An unscrupulous vendor on there "wipes out" their competition by flagging their ads to Craigslist, who in turn remove the ads immediately, no questions asked. A friend who was trying to sell products on CL had that happen to her repeatedly. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done about it.
The good news is that they probably did you a favor. You REALLY don't want the type of customers that Craigslist generates. I call them "bottom feeders", which isn't very nice, but seems fairly appropriate. The typical Craiglist shopper is looking for bargains and freebies. They also tend to be the first to bounce a check or refuse to pay because of some minor complaint or unreasonable expectation. You'll go broke in a hurry if that's the primary source of your "customers". It's also filled with unsuccessful photographers looking for their first big break... lots of people with kit cameras who have photographed their brother or sister's wedding for free, now feel they're "ready for the big time" and are offering to shoot the blessed event for $100 flat fee (or for free, for the "experience").
There are many much better sources of advertising. First thing I'd do if looking for wedding work would be contact every wedding planner in the area. I'd also look into pastors and priests in the area. Any place selling wedding gowns, cakes, rent tuxes and venues that host the ceremonies or receptions would also be fair game. You'll need a wedding-specific portfolio, including some couples portraits for engagement photos, plus some leave-behinds (more than just business cards, though those are necessary too).
You also need to have prepared a FAIR price list... you should have done a cost-of-doing-business study and researched the established and successful competition (ignore Craigslist) and their pricing. There is no sense taking on jobs that leave you in the red! (Many photographers do, but end up out of business in short order.)
You also need to have your documents in order... contracts and model releases, insurances, business licenses, etc.
If lacking any of these things and not really ready to put them together, you might instead consider working with one of the established photographers you discovered when you did that market study. Offer to serve as an assistant and second shooter, to learn the business from the inside out. If they're smart (and they probably are, if they are making money at it), they will probably ask you to sign a non-compete agreement of some sort, which might be fair. They also may ask you to sign over copyright to any images you take while acting as a second shooter... this should be defined in writing, to avoid any disputes. It's up to you whether or not to do so, but this is common practice among wedding photographers in particular. You should be able to specify that you can use the images for self-promotion in the future: in a portfolio, on a website, in advertising through various media. (Just be sure to get a copy of the model releases, too... which may be part of the wedding photography contract agreement.)
I'd estimate that professional photography is about 80 or 90% business, 10 or 20% photography. There can be great photographers who do wonderful work, but utterly fail as pros because they don't have the business sense. At the same time, I'm sure there are rather mediocre photographers who succeed as pros because they have a good business plan they work carefully and methodically. Both amateurs and pros can be great photographers... some differences are that amateurs get to shoot what they want, however they want to shoot it, and whenever they want to shoot it. In contrast, a pro has to shoot what the client wants shot, how the client wants it shot and on the client's schedule to meet deadlines. Pro photography is "problem solving" much of the time.... solving someone else's problems.
I'm NOT saying "don't do it!".
I'm just hoping you go into it with eyes wide open!
P.S. Incidentally, here's the web site of one of the world's most successful wedding photographers. Does it look familiar? What's similar to and what's different from your site?
http://www.cantrellportrait.com/And here's the website of one of the world's top stock photographers, who unfortunately passed away in late 2017 but can still inspire us with a lifetime's worth of photos. I met him some years ago and learned a lot. Stock photography was worth seven figures annually to his studio, yet it was secondary to his travel, location and commercial work. [url]

Joel Sartore is all about wildlife photography, but his web site is fun and brilliant.
