it was criteo.com, not Craigslist - next advertising dog?

Just in the last few days I have noticed every time I open a CL ad, at the bottom is some unrelated POS. Is it my new Windows 7 operating system or CL joining the rest. Is there a setting to turn this off ?

You mean the words? Those are ad keywords so the sale appears under many search queries. It's dumb and annoying, by far, but whatchya gonna do?

What do you exactly mean? A bunch of keywords is it? If so, then yes it's been the trend for some time now, albeit not universal.

However to add to the Craigslist woes, I've found an increasing number of scamsters using it of late. In years past, the "-by owner" section would be protected from marketing BS but now "dealers" post freely on "owner" sections, scamsters run rife, etc.
