This really bothers me.

I hate it when people do this, I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does.

His keywords take up more of the page then the description of the four wheeler he is selling. I mean really? What a db. That is so far past ridiculous I figured i'd post it here and vent a bit..

well....here's the point...you probably weren't looking for one of those...but whatever you WERE looking for got you to open it and look due to those keywords...to you it may be a point of inconvience....but to the seller...it opens opportunity doors to maybe an occasional browser who is randomly parusing and says " WOW, I think I need that" or to some other person who may not have been looking for exactly that...so keywords like that help raise the number of hits to find something....kinda like how keywords and hotwords help you find what you are looking for when you google something!

Yeah except the first thing I do is flg those as spam. Your ad will do little if it gets booted.

I thought it was a good ad...........




I'd buy from him verse some other douchebag because it seems like he cares about what he is selling.


I see no problem with his posting.

agreed, i didnt even notice them because i was looking at the pictures, and when there were no more pictures I scrolled back to the top

I don't mind keywords if they are very closely related, but I hate when someone puts a bunch of generic keywords on there.  It looks like pretty much any kind of search would pull up this ad, so I'd flag it.

Me too.
TOS prohibits being misleading.

looking at the big block of text, whats a "hohey"? Do you ride it? Does it ride you? Is it the sound your passenger makes?
