Craigslist has a hidden lead feed. Stop posting ads - subscribe to people asking for the thing you sell.

The 60-minute LinkedIn seam that lifted our reach 143× across 24 posts.
LinkedIn decides if a post goes viral inside the first hour. We pointed an agent at 11 public cross-promo communities and let it broker reciprocal reactions in the first 18 minutes. The reach curve breaks and never returns.

The Google + GEO backdoor that 6.4x'd our answer-engine traffic in 60 days.
142 URLs, 11 answer engines, one extractable claim pattern. We discovered the side-door inside Google's AI Overviews castle - and the same shape rippled into Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Claude, and Gemini.
