I recently found a site which I believe is somehow extracting ads from backpage and putting them onto their site. The reason why I know that they are doing this is because they have over 10,000 ads on there site ....in less than 2 months. I also noticed that many of the ads were added to the page on the same day at the exact same times down to the second.. this evidence tells me that the site owner is populating his site on his own. I did some research on this and I found out that this is possible, but I am lost as to how I should go about doing this myself for my site.

Have any of you done this before? How do I go about doing this in the most efficient way possible?:confused:
 
I'd look into seeing if backpage has an RSS feed. If they do, it's just about parsing the data.
 
Does anyone have anymore info on this subject?
 
::BUMP::

Does anyone have any info on how to do this?
 
would this be it?
Code:
http://www.backpage.com/classifieds/affiliates/PromoteUs
 
No, from my understanding, this data is on THEIR DATABASE... the average person won't even know that these ads are from backpage... it doesn't say backpage anywhere.. I know that the ads are from backpage because I can tell by the way they are written/look... plus I have looked up multiple ads from the site and compared them to ads which have shown up on backpage... backpage has no connection with this particular site...
 
Hmmm....how can someone hack into BP server...and extract their database?

ANSWER: can't...unless its an inside job or facilitate of BP.

So...it must be sometype of scraper program. Whats the site you are refering to and i'll take a look.
 
theyre using openclassifieds, it's a free php script, or you can buy the pro version for 70

I know that much... in fact I have open classifieds for my site also..

THIS DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION.
 
Hmm...

So you are saying that open classifieds will not accomplish 10k ads in 2 mths.

I assume they are also importing the pics as well.

Somehow they taped into their server (is myguess), or possibly own the other site as well?

Don't know....puzzling problem.

My guess is that they scraped the site or at least the escort section.
You would need a program or script that accomplished the same thing.
I might be able to help you out if you are interested as I do have experience in scraping.
 
Did OP figure this out? Please message me if still researching this idea. Thank you.
 
Hi

i am saying Mamoof.com 's history

They hired people for taking CL, BP ads for his website.

People copied ads from CL first & then they posted it to mamoof.com

I think u got ur answer.

Thanks

Backpage has rss feeds. Go to each section that you want. Go to the bottom of the page. Click RSS button example
Code:
http://toronto.backpage.com/online/exports/Rss.xml?section=4373&category=4398
or you can search their feed and add based by keywords like this
Code:
http://newyork.backpage.com/online/exports/Rss.xml?keyword=seo&section=4373
.

You would have to collect all the url's for each city and section though unless someone here has a trick or already has them for you.

Good luck mate
 
I have seen backpage scrapers but is there a way you can write code into your existing classifieds script in order to list the escorts feed into your escorts feed without having to manually list them? And maybe even automatically spin them so it does not look the same? This would be awesome if anyone can do this. I have a classifieds site and all the sections are receiving posts except the adult section. This would help get that section going. Oh yeah, and it is free right now but may not always be the case so if it could be coded where it is listed without payment but as the admin, that would be great. Someone should make this script add on. I bet they would make good money. :)
 
I have the same initial question as wmurry003 but I'm looking at liveescortreviews.com

I'd like to have backpage ads display in my classified ad site.
