Find it Off Campus has hit 100+ postings. We launched the site Friday night, emailed a whole list of people from Waterloo Off Campus housing and in less than a few days already hit 100 postings. I am quite impressed with these results. We still have a lot to do for the site but its great to see people are interested and actively using it.
After looking at the OCH website it seems they have about 350 – 400 sublets posted, so I think our site will most likely level out very soon because I doubt everyone on OCH will post on our site. If I were to make a guess I would say we can hit close to 200 and that will be about it.
Hopefully when we figure out a way to inform landlords of our site we will see the number of postings jump again. Currently we only emailed students so we are only hitting a small chunk of the market.
So now for a few numbers from Google Analytics:
- We have about 407 unique visitors
- 4800 page views (probably closer to 4500 when you subtract out the times Paul and I have visited the site)
- On average people spend about 10 minutes on the site (no idea if that is something to be impressed with)
- 37 page hits from people seeing our site on facebook (it would be great if this number was a little higher)
Expect random posts on and off about the health of the site. Also does anyone thing I should remove the bubbles that appear over the markers? Or put different information in there?




Dunno if I missed it, but itd be nice if there was a clear all button or reset at the advanced search window
