In every single email I get, all the leads are dead links. I can load the website just fines, but click a lead link and I get a blank white screen.

Am I the only one? Has anyone else been getting this?

You are likely not the only one Nicholas.

I'm working on a few things today to get it fixed. Basically, we added a bunch of new feeds and the volume/backlog created a bit of a mess. If your links are not working, sit tight until new emails start coming in and they will work.

Sorry! :/

My links seem to be working, but the content is ... off.  Yesterday, the alerts were all for for music/musician-type gigs.  Todays are even more interesting:
  • Black male exotic dancer (ladue)
  • Seeking white females
  • Now Hiring Escorts.
Some how I don't think this aging, computer programmer body is quite what they're looking for ;-)  

Let me know if you need further details to track down the issue...

Yeah I added the "Talent Gigs" section of CL and it wreaked havoc on everything. I am in the process of removing them.

I think what I learned is that different verticals really do require different feeds up front, or at least different keyword profiles to start. For example, you basically don't want anything that says "craigslist.org/tlg/".

Looking into that now.

LOL :)

I'll reset everyone's quotas.

I'm thinking about "keyword profiles" to start everyone out. Basically we have two types of users today: creative or technical. And when I say creative, I don't necessarily mean innovative pole dancing maneuvers.
