Quick question - How are trade feeds sorted?

Just going through the Mondeo ST adverts - 15 adverts per page
In the first two pages, 1/3 of ads (10 out of 30!) are NOT ST's Two main culprits - Autoquake and "AC Cars". It's really irritating when you're looking for a particular car and there are a load of crap adverts in the way.

I've reported a fair few of those that are in the wrong category - but please can you get in touch with these traders (and I'm sure there are others too) and sort their submitting procedure out as it takes the fun out of browsing the classifieds. I don't want to see 10 adverts for 2.0TDCi Mondeos - I want ST220s!

Thanks... apologies for the mini-rant!

The automatic dealerfeeds are sorted into categories by looking for keywords in the title. At the moment, the Mondeo ST section is looking for any Fords where the model contains "Mondeo" and "ST", which is a little bit of a mistake, because it is picking up every single Mondeo estate.

I'll tweak the rules to stop this happening in future, and get all the none ST models shuffled across to the appropriate place.
