Douglas Valley breakers in Porsche Classifieds. WTF??

[HAB]

It seems that they have now almost totally taken over the Porsche parts section. The first 7 pages are almost all DV.

Anything that can be done about this?

We are having a think about this as they are genuine advertisers who have paid for every one of those ads. What do people think about splitting Parts/Plates and having a separate breakers section in it?

Sounds like a plan, Pete.

Have to say that as much as I'm all for PH getting as much revenue as possible, it's frustrating and tedious seeing their adverts everywhere I look, regardless of their entitlement to. Same can be said for many other corporate advertisers, it just clutters up the classifieds.

Tremendous work on sorting it though I must say, it's a lot easier to navigate these days and get straight to the cars you want to see by specific models etc (porsche section etc).

It is something we are very concious of and thus we do try and make the classifieds an editorial decision on what is shown, splitting of categories and the volume of dealer ads. My primary concern is making things easy for the user and thus if a sales decision is affecting that then I do raise it in the management meetings.
