So I sold some tools on ebay. they send me a warning letter about the auctions.

The tools were generic, so I made the title something like:

"tie rod tools NOR snap-on or mac"



well they have some rule now that you can't use the name of one company if the product is not from that company. they called it "search manipulation"



NO ******* ****!!! thats why I did it to get more views.

well...it does get to be a PITA when you do a search for "TIAL" and get 400 returns of nothing but "cheap piece of **** BOV but i put TIAL in the title anyway"
