OK, this is not a TERB issue, but I'm finding it a pain in the ass problem. I haven't checked other Backpage cities, but lately there has been an epidemic of 'way out of town' postings in the Kingston listings. As in: Windsor, Toronto, London, Newmarket etc. Not SP's visiting Kingston; they're advertising services offered in those cities.

Not sure if this is a Backpage generated happening, or just the SP's from those towns deciding to go broadband? If I wanted to find out what London had to offer I'd go check the London Backpage listings. In the meantime the number of Kingston Backpage listings per day has doubled or tripled, and for me it's visual overload. Getting too old to play the game I guess.

My understanding is that the SP's pay Backpage to do these listings? In which case they can push the ads out wherever they want. But it doesn't seem fair to those in the immediate geographical area to have what would otherwise be a manageable number of listings they pay for, get carpet bombed with all this other stuff. Or am I way off base.

Agreed, I find this annoying. It's not uncommon to see the same pics in distant cities. The Durham region is the worse example of this invasion. The cookie cutter asian adds have polluted their pages. It's not that bad in K Town yet, but it's progressing.

It seems to be getting worse instead of better for sure. I just don't get the benefit to the SP to post hundreds of KM from where they are. If I would travel to their town I would put them at the bottom of my list for being annoying. I suspect most of these are not indy but semi-agency/pimp ads. Perhaps BP allows them to post in as many cities as they like for one price and they are in fact causing the issue?

All good thoughts. Thanks for checking in. I'd enjoy hearing from any of the local SP's what their take is on this phenom.

The problem its with BP. The more city you enter in a ad the less it costs, so if the provider enter 4 city it costs only 1$ for the ad.
