People Should Die For Using Craigslist Keywords!
Im so seriously pissed and frustrated that everytime I type a search in Craigslist I get everything but what Im looking for. People need to cut the keword crap out. And most notably the businesses selling cars on CL. For instance I was looking for 4Runner parts and typed "4Runner." Results rendered were about 30 repeat postings for Honda Pilots, Honda CRVs, and the like.
These ****** use keyword strings like "Comparable to 4Runner, Rav4, Highlander, Prius........." All of which have nothing to do with the vehicle they're trying to sell.
If anyone has been irritated by a similar instance I encourage and would thank you all for typing a search for 4Runner, and flagging all the non related crap so it can be deleted. Sheesh....do it for WRX stuff as well, cause Im sure nobody wants "lamp shades" to come up in a WRX search!

Completely, 100% agree. These people think they are getting more traffic to their ad when really they are just pissing people off and killing the search ability..
