I hate teases!

I posted a nice brand new long plagiarized ad and it barely made the first page. No reasoning.

I don't care for the changes.

I DO NOT LIKE IT! Had a 301 listed recently and don't see it.................grrrhhhh.

I repeat my earlier assertion...we all need to go to the CL Feedback Forum and tell them what we think about it.
Unless we do that our dislike goes unheard.

Having done so I suggest just posting your comment with any thoughts as to why and leave it at that.
There will be lots of "volunteers" who will jump on your comment telling you it's your fault for not writing better ads and crap like that but the point is to show numbers of people who just really don't like what they've done.

It needs to be well worded so we can all ditto it.

In Eugene, Oregon all the top relevant posts are from the Stagecoach folks.

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/atq/4165258568.html way down on the list...

Here is the one that is at the top when I search for "sewing machine" and sort by relevance. I don't know how they determine how relevant an ad is, but it must be by the number of times either of those words show up in the ad.

I don't know of any other way they could reasonably determine relevance.

Oops. Could have sworn I pasted it.

It is not how long or how well worded the ad.
It is not how many times the word shows up - I tested that, too.
I did get one sort of close to the top.
