These ads have a lot in common:
a) The never have a phone contact.
b) They are usually between $2500 and $6000...
c) They all have text hidden in the white spaces of the ads..it is the same color as the background, but it is there. The text consists of dozens of keywords, such as 'Honda', 'John Deere', 'Bobcat', 'Yamaha', etc. They are picked up when you search for any of these words, and gets the ad maximum exposure.
The hidden text can be seen by left-clicking your mouse and draggin over the 'empty' space. It will highlight and can be seen.
If I see an ad like that, I always flag it as spam...
