Default Business Ads

I certainly understand the frustration in the business ads issue. Currently Business accounts make up of only 10% of total ads posted, 90% of the ads are by individuals. But when a dealer posts 50 at a time (which some can do) it does bring other items down. Just like when you do to their ads when you post after them.

The site has not changed, when you say go back to what it was, its difficult to do that because this is the way it was, just not many users were using it. We have grown and people realize that advertising on our site can work for them, so now you see it more, but it was always there.

We cannot separate them from the listings, just like we would not do that to you, even if it was requested by many to isolate your postings, BUT having said that, I have asked our tech team to allow for better sorting on all pages, and this is what is in the works,


Sort by:

Time: Oldest Postings
Time: Newest Postings
Price: lowest first
Price: highest first
Price: No Price listed
Distance: Nearest first
Distance: Farthest first
Account Type: Club Members first
Account Type: Basic Members first
Account Type: Dealers first
Ad Type: Featured Ads first
Ad Type: Premiere Ads first
Ad Type: Ads with images first
Category

This type of sorting will allow you to modify the listings to pull certain things ahead of others.

We hope this improvement helps the people who are interested in using this kind of service. Remember that this site was designed from input from users like yourself and will continue to be changed and modified in that way.

Our customers really do come first, all customers.
