Just wondering.

Are the companies that are listed suppose to be recommended companies?

If so, why is Wayside Gardens, with their many 'Negative" reports on this list and in Green no less?

Thank you.

Hap

The links are external advertisements, and I don't think we have any control over who pays to participate in them...

Wayside is not among the top-rated companies in the GWD, and has not been approached to participate in the Top Watchdog ads.

I doesn't seem proper to allow advertising by companies that are not nice to us.

Much of that is completely automated by a third party ad system and not controlled in the slightest by us.

Having said this, though, you shouldn't have been seeing it at all. There was a bug that was making it show up in certain circumstances, and that has now been fixed.

I understand.

Thanks for all you do taking care of "Our Family". It used to be our "Little" family, but not anymore. It's so wonderful for you and us.

Take care.

I clicked on the "Garden Plants" sponsored link, which took me to a list of other links; clicked on one of those, which brought me to a list of more links; clicked on one of those, which brought me to another list of links, ad infinitem....never to any website! I felt like Alice in Blunderland!

Oh, nooo...same deal with the "Organic Gardening" link! It doesn't matter what else you click on that "debatedeals.com" page, or if you put something in the search box--all you get is more links. Aaaagh!!!

Thanks for the feedback, KyWoods. I'll send this information to the team that handles this stuff.
