Apparently since backpage is no longer really able to charge for ads they started something new today. They are rotating ads. Apparently they are only going to allow so many free ads to remain at the top of the list daily,so as providers place ads they are shifting others ads down to the bottom of the page in a new section called additional ads. You have to scroll down the page past the past week or so of ads to find the section for ads for today. Just thought people might be wondering why there aren't that many ads and providers might be thinking their ads are disappearing. What a bunch of baloney, pfft...
So it turns out if you filler results by date you can bypass the whole scrolling to the bottom thing. It will show ads as they were placed. Doesn't seem to make much sense lol.
