Some of you have mentioned that our blog feed on the dashboard was not very legible and asked us to do something about it.  We took your advice and replaced the old 3rd party widget with a new design that is much more easier on the eye.  Thanks for the great feedback!

We are happy to announce that PennyPosting.com has integrated their affordable Craigslist posting services with YGL using our new Ad API.

We have rolled out our new eBilling system to provide convenience to you and give you more control over your payment options.

You can now make your monthly payment online using either your credit card or bank account and sign up for recurring payments (optional).

Based on suggestions, we made a quick improvement to the system that you can now hover over the status icons and thumb up/down icons in the listings tab and see who marked them and when were they marked. It will be helpful to know this information so you and your agents can make the appropriate decisions.

Youtube videos are a great way to market your apartments. Now you can add your Youtube videos to listings in the YGL system. Once you add a Youtube video, we will help you market it by adding a prominent video link to your ads and embed the video into your client sheets.

We have updated our Craigslist Watch page with detailed posting tips, and also answered some questions you might have wondered about Cragislist postings in general. If there is anything specific you want to know, feel free to shoot us an email with your questions.

Our friends at PennyPosting.com has informed us that Craigslist has changed it’s throttling formula mid-day today. It became much harder and slower to post your ads. You will consistently get the “posting servers are currently busy” message over and over. For more information, visit Craigslist Watch.

We are officially starting a “Craigslist Watch” page to help you stay on top of what Craigslist is changing, so you can change your marketing strategy to adapt to these changes.

Craigslist has 4 fee sections you can post to:

• apts broker fee
• apts broker no fee
• apts by owner
• apts registration fee

Originally the YGL system does not allow you to choose which fee section to post to. Based on what the listing fee is, YGL will automatically choose the Craigslist fee section to post to.

We added a new Craigslist Fee dropdown field for you to select which Craigslist fee section to post to. Now you have full control of which Craigslist fee section to post your ads in. If you choose “default”, YGL will decide which fee section to post to like before.

Please keep in mind that you might violate Craigslist terms of service if you post to the inappropriate sections.

We’d like to let everyone know that all the grid tables have been successfully upgraded in our system. You’ll notice that the old sorting links have disappeared from all the pages with some other minor UI changes. If you are having any difficulties with the upgrades, please click the “refresh” button on your browser which will clear out the old cache.

The new grid tables offer us the following important benefits:
1. Sortable column headers. All the old sort links have been removed, and the columns headers are now sortable and should be used instead.
2. Better browser compatible. We will soon support all major browsers.
3. More legible.
4. Much more flexible, powerful and documented. This will allow us to build more user friendly features down the road.
5. Flexible width.

Please give us your feedback on the new grid tables. Thanks!
