ActiveRain has done it again!  We've added yet another feature to enhance the AR Community.  Members now have the option of posting Listings! 

Here's how:

1.  Go to http://activerain.com/action/listings and click New Listing
2.  Upload photos, enter the address, description and stats
3.  Click Save Listing
4.  Click Activate

I'm sure you're thinking to yourself, "It can't be that easy can it?"  Yes, my friends it is. 

A few clarifications:

You may have up to 20 listings at any time.  Each listing will be active for 30 days.  This is to keep any stale information from being displayed.  If you make any changes to the listing, update the price, add a picture etc. the 30 days will reactivate from that day.

Each listing may have up to 20 photos.  Photos must be 960x440 at a minimum.  We encourage you to take the pictures from your digital camera to optimize clarity.

One of the following browsers must be used to post listings:  Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 8.

Listings will appear on the new Community Pages and as an added bonus of RainMaker status your listings will appear on the sidebar of your blog.

I hope everyone takes advantage of this new feature!

Let it Rain!

As an interim measure, we've adjusted the way listings are displayed on hyper-local pages. Listings are now displayed in the left column and are only visible to consumers (non-logged in users).

Great feature -- now I just need to figure out how to make it work -- how to get my photo to show up on the listing page and how to get traffic to it.  Thanks!

Speaking of pictures, I saw the coolest thing on the Today show this morning.  Agents are taking pictures of their listings on the outside with all the lights on in the daytime....it really stands out!

Nice feature and my first few listings I entered worked fine....  But we have one that just will not "activate."  It always says "pending" no matter how many times I hit activate.  Anyone else have this problem?

HOW did I miss this?  I saw the III update and had to back track.  Thanks! I am going to go take a look and see what's going on...

I love this feature which makes me look really good.  I do agree the 960 x 440 is incredibly non-standard.  There are plenty of  broken gifs in the neighbourhood sections, such as https://activerain.com/states/AB/cities/Calgary/communities/Huntington%20Hills   I love the way the pictures scroll.  Thank you activerain!

I can't believe that it took me this long to catch up on this new feature. Well I now know what I will be doing over the holidays.  Thanks ActiveRain!

My listings aren't working right.

The lots can't be posted at all, and the houses won't show the pictures for me to edit them.

Is there a glich, or am I doing something wrong?

At this time the listing tool is only for homes for sale and won't take lots.  You must edit your picture before you upload them.  Make sure they are 960x440 exactly.  www.picnik.com is a great tool to use to accomplish this.

I'm sorry about the confusion. By "editing" I meant changing their order around.

If you would allow it to accept 0 bedrooms and 0 bathrooms the lot listings should work fine.

Hi Kerrie,

I'm not sure if you're monitoring this post any longer, but I've looked at the new LISTINGS feature and wonder how it can be SEO'd properly.  From what I see, I think we'd actually get more readability by creating a blog post, instead.  Your thoughts?

Hello Kerrie, Left an email message for AR a few days ago with no response so will try again by leaving a message here- for some reason we are unable to edit or remove the last 2 listings that are blank (no photos or info on them?) on our listings edit page - could you please look into this and delete these 2 blank ones at the end as we have new listings to add and are up to the 20 limit - if you can remove the last 2 blank ones, we can add 2 more - thanks!!

Kerrie, Thank you for the tips and this update. I hope it gives us national exposure to people moving to Atlanta.

Does anyone know why my listings never go past "pending" and nobody has ever seen them (so I assume they're not active)  They also show reactivate so they were activated.  I'm just a bit confused as to whether listing on here does anything?
