I need to clarify. The ads in front of the posts is annoying and I skip past them. I do the same in Google and I do the same in the Daily Sun. If I am not in the need for a service why look at the ads.

However, when I need someone for a service, the TOTV site is my first place to look for a vendor. Then I go to the Daily Sun and then to the yellow pages.

BUT I do agree with ijusluvit that it is really hard to find the vendors. First I scan all of the ads along the side and across the top and then I am helpless as to where to go to see a complete list of vendors. It would be nice if there was a category called TOTV VENDORS where all of the sponsors were listed by what service provide in alphabetic order so we could have a single place to look for the vendor type we are looking for.

I was looking for a carpet replacement vendor the other day and could not find one. I posted for help on TOTV but did not receive any responses. I am now at the mercy of the ads in the Daily Sun and have created a cost spreadsheet of area nd their costs and now have to visit all of the ones I selected to see if they can do the job.
