As I stated yesterday, we are currently showing our ads in only five (5) zip codes and the campaign is barely a day and a half old.

But like you said, they are going to "Crunch the K's" no matter what you upload. Hey Greg, thanks for stopping by.

They'll probably still put the JPEG hammer down, but starting at the right pixel dimensions will give you better results. When Zillow tells me its desired image sizes, I'll make them public.
