Hi all,
I just had a call from someone at the STimes telling me that my freespaces ad is not suitable because it contains my weblink which has links to other sites... (ie other lmhers!!)
They clearly check the links to see if it's a single-property owner or a business.
Has anyone else had a call like this?
She did point out that I could advertise with my phone number rather than the web but obviously a link is a better way of pulling in the punters. And I don't like the idea of putting my phone number in the paper.

I had the same experience Nessie. I think, as greenfrog says, they're getting tough.

I've had 3 invoices from the ST now for £1.75 each for what was supposed to be a free ad, I've phoned them twice and asked why but the woman just said she would put a query on them and get a sales person to call me, but nothing as yet. I don't intend paying them anyway, but what a stupid amount!
Has anyone else had this?

I had one phone call from an exceedingly snooty woman who had mistaken my website for a local holiday rental listing site with a similar name.
She was so rude!! It wasn't that easy to enter the ad, as others found, and that was a pretty poor way of being rewarded for my perseverance!
