> Can you share with us how you implemented this?
1) Perform Criagslist search
2) Use his provided bookmarklet which sends the current URL to his site -- writing that bookmarklet is just a JavaScript one-liner, probably
3) Every CL search page has a link to an RSS feed, so pull that feed URL out of the search page the bookmarklet sent in
4) Have a cron job periodically fetch the feed and use MagpieRSS, which he linked to, to parse it and get a list of search results
5) Compare the results to what you saw last time the feed was fetched, and if there are new ones, use MailJet to send an alert e-mail to the user. Include LaunchBit's snippet to show ads and earn some money from these mails
