Dear CL, my apologies...

I must admit, I am a flag nazi. But only when people use those "keywords" to grab unrelated results. Often that text is white so unless you select the page, one does not see it.

Well today I did my usual variations on Mercedes, including "Mercedes-Benz". Which brought many results, all for NFL tickets. These guys are bad as abusing keywords. So let the flagging commence! Well after a short while I realized that they did contain info about a game at "Mercedes-Benz Superdome (formerly Louisiana Superdome)".

Oops, my bad!

Guess if these folks did not abuse keywords so bad I would not have done so.

Here is a fine example by the way: http://greenbay.craigslist.org/tid/2727268348.html

Keywords and search engines are going thru a transitional phase of growth and where it leads, and what shape it will be later is anyone's guess. CL is getting worse with the continued ability of sellers to utilize and abuse keyswords on the bottom of the ad.
