In defense of Redweek, many internet listing sites are money machines ..... that's why they're in business including Tug where you have to join in order to place a timeshare ad ..... it all boils down to money.
Redweek is the number one timeshare ad site on the internet due to it's ease of surfing the ads, it's ease of placing ads and the thousands of hits it gets a day .... hundreds of Tug members even recommend Redweek as the number one listing site.
Also, you have to understand that Redweek has a paid staff and they pay to advertise in many different venues including billboards (I know there are at least two billboards just in Kissimmee, FL) and they advertise in USA Today among other venues.
TUG is manned by non-paid volunteers and ALL PROCEEDS FROM ADS AND MEMBERSHIP FEES GO ONLY TO THE OWNER OF TUG. Why people work there for free is beyond my imagination (one moderator is even a CPA) while the owner is racking in the money bigtime.
