Here's the directory I get when I search for Callaway:
The only way I can replicate the search directory you showed is to search for Race Tech Forged threads that include the word Callaway.
When I review the threads in your search directory, I note that the vendor is not in conflict with the rules which limit vendors from having more than one sales thread on the first page of a two-day directory in the C7 sections or more than three sales threads on the first page of a two-day directory in other generational sections.
I was annoyed with the same search myself because I kept seeing these wheel threads coming up in searches for Callaway and had to go to the second page to find what I was looking for on the forum. It's because the wheel vendor is mounting his wheels on a Callaway so that keyword is going to appear on those threads. And boy, did he have a lot of threads about Race Tech FORGED Modular Series Wheels.
I do search engine marketing for a living. Free SEO advice for any vendor - Don't post the exact same content with the same wording over and over - Google will purge those pieces of content from the search results. This type of strategy will backfire for Race Tech or any other vendor over time.

If I were in the business of giving advice to vendors on how to best use Corvetteforum, my suggestion would be to engage site users in their discussions. Offer suggestions on their posted issues and answer questions they pose. It's time-consuming, but establishing a relationship can pay off when site users reach the point they need or want a product or service.
IT would seem to me that those whose marketing strategy is merely to bump the same sales thread day after day without providing any new or fresh information tend to blend into the woodwork after a time.

excessive vendor posting
