CL apt/housing hook.. pretty clever

We were probably the ones causing it to "die"..



From a usability standpoint i feel ya, CL ain't what it used to be. But there are plenty of other ways to find apartments online, and can you really blame guys for utilizing a free source of very high volume and targeted traffic?

(although mfa pages in this context are pretty ghey)

Have you seen what kind of payout you can get on a good MFA page doing this?
 


This has been going on for a while now, it's kinda shady but you can make some good money off it, I made about $800 the first week I tried this. I just felt bad and couldnt continue to fuck over people like that lol

EDIT: Oh shit first post ha

Ugh. Such an old method.. OP is only contributing to it by posting here, and giving noobs ideas.
 
coulda used a more trustworthy name at the end + a last name for an additional .0004343 increase in conversions

Maybe if you knew that x,xxx/day was quite easily attainable your mind would be changed?

Hmm...so one could set up a script that searches any incoming e-mails for a first name (just find a huge txt file of first names), and does an auto respond that seems legit.

Anything else that might increase conversions?

Geo-target them. Setup loads of different incoming e-mail addresses, and assign each e-mail to a city. Get a database of info on each city (coffee shop name, college name, etc.), and personalize the e-mail using those.

So you post to the Boston section using the Boston e-mail, then all incoming e-mails just hit a script. The script waits X minutes / hours, then sends off a reply personalized with the Boston info (eg. the house is close to [college_name], and if wanted, I can meet you at [coffee shop]).

Know I guy who pulled in $100k/month doing that with dating. That was before CL got so anal though.
