Promoting Credit Reports?

Hi guys

I'm from Australia and getting credit reports for a tenant isn't a big thing here, so I want to learn more about how people promote credit report offers in USA?

From what I understand is that they advertise on Google or Craigslist targeting people wanting to get rentals?

But this to me doesn't make any sense.

Because in order to list a property that people will like, you need photos and a physical location, and it costs money to list on most listing websites.

So do you just set up a fake listing that looks great and hope you get tons of applicants?

So how do affiliates make money promoting this?

Especially if this is done on Adwords.

I'd appreciate if someone explains this in detail for me.

Credit reports in the offers are purchased by the actual consumer so that they can monitor their own credit rating. Yes, credit reports are also purchased by third parties (banks, car dealerships, employers, stores, landlords, etc) but there is not much need to advertise for such uses, since usually this is already embedded in their standard business processes.

Exactly, it doesn't make sense to me since most of them already provide one, so how do affiliates make money promoting these things?

I mean apart from SEO.
