With the Product Catalog, Affiliate Publishers can link to:

1. State Map pages (e.g. Illinois)
2. Regional/Area Map pages (e.g. Chicago South)
3. Apartment search pages at the city level (e.g. Chicago, Illinois)

Mass Produce URLs
By inserting your PID and City and/or State terms, you can use the above string to create hundreds of trackable links for any Apartments.com search results page. Consider if you want to create links to a Dallas, Texas search page:

http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-XXXXXX-10455273?url=http%
3A//www.apartments.com/partner/Results.aspx%3Fpage%3Dresults%26partner%3Dcommjunc%
26city%3DDallas%26state%3DTX

You can alter the link's keywords in the encoded URL string (%26city%3DDallas%26state%3DTX) to target another Apartments.com search query.

Because search terms are appended at the end of the URL, it is easy to generate city/state links! There are two primary methods of doing this:

1) Use Microsoft Excel to split and concatenate cells
2) Build a script to append specific queries to the above string.
