this is one of the reasons that all ads expire in 90 days regardless...many people fail to log back in and mark their ads as sold/rented etc.

Market Place Ads

Just discovered when I google a phone number from
a Tug Marketplace ad. The following info shows up.

Contact This Member - Timeshares for Sale, Timeshares for Rent ...

tug2.com/TimeshareMarketplace/EmailOnPost.aspx?...2c2e...‎

Call Member at xxx-xxx-xxxx. OR. Contact Member about this Listing.
Please fill out your information below to send a message to the owner of this ad.

Is there a way to keep phone numbers in the Marketplace
But prevent the number from showing up in Google Searches

The Marketplace is open to everyone, so just don't put your phone number in the Ad - have people contact you by email.

indeed, it is completely optional to submit a phone number with your ad.

I have submitted the same ad a couple of times for review, the last time because I hadn't realized my contact phone number would be part of the posted ad. It doesn't show up when I select "View" ad option to see what it should look like.

the inclusion of a phone number is optional. unless you type it in the ad title or description it wont show up until someone clicks "contact this member"
