'Misleading' autotrader links dropped

The Trading Post, which publishes classified advertising inprint and online, has stopped linking its autotrader Website to the name of a competitor, following an investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. NSW Hunter Valley company Stickybeek, which operates a Web site used by businesses in the region for advertising, alleged the Trading Post was misleading Internet users into believing it was associated with Stickybeek's business.
