Royal Bank Canada took #2 with 1,212 buys, up from #5 last week and Bell Internet-TV inched its way into #3 with 1,054 buys, up from #4 the week previous. Scotiabank and Toyota Parts and Service rounded out the top-five while Shell, Koodo and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario all entered the top-10.

Still, the top buying category was finance with 4,570 spots, slightly less than its 5,055 last week.
