CL keyword spamming at its worst!

This isn't even audio-related, yet he's got nearly every stereo and speaker brand listed on his ad. Pretty much a jerk move, if you ask me!

Flagged it.

 

[markshan]

[Sam Cogley]

Yep.

 

[roberttx]

Uh huh.

Flagged from Afar -

you bet

I almost think that's a mistake...very odd to think that this sort of "cross marketing" would help his ad...I think I might buy some stair parts today instead of a pair of speakers! Haha

Maybe a regular audio seller that's selling something else and definitely needs to update his template.

He must be a man of many hats. However, he chose a$$ this time.

How is it that 7 people in this thread have flagged that ad and its still up? I thought it was something like 5 flags got the ad taken down?

I think you can say ass on the Internet

Flagging is not an exact science for sure...some ads only take a couple flags and others take a lot...not sure how the math works.

Is there actually any CL rules against bad keywords?

People flag listings all the time because they don't like them...doesn't mean they break rules. The flagging isn't a dislike button.

With that said I flagged it as well.

false, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent content; bait and switch; keyword spam

 

[Amped4Fun]

Flagged. And why on earth would you not have any info, including a price for the balusters, in your ad!?

 

[bhuskins]

Ok good to know...I know that listings without a price or best offer listings aren't technically against the rules but people flag them anyways

 

[jeanmarie]

Flaged it to.

For the love of Zod, no price or auction listings are absolutely against the rules. How many times am I going to have to post this link?

Can I put a link in my for sale posting pointing to an auction site like eBay?
No. Please post a set price, do not solicit bidding, and do not link to auctions elsewhere.
