Started this discussion. Last reply by Jay Traylor Jun 13 2008.

There is a lot of buzz floating around through the trade shows and on the automotive blogs about dealer microsites. Who has one (or 10, or 50) and how effective are they? Read More »

Anyone at Dealer Synergy's Event in New Orleans?

Started this discussion May 14 2008

Just curious. I'm not there, but I'm getting reports from someone who is. They said that the first day speakers were rather dry. Hopefully day two will be better. Read More »

I am looking for any possible advice that you may be able to provide to me. I work for a new company called Ostock-Bid. We are an online public auction for dealer listings only. Basically we will sell to the public the dealer's old inventory or trade-ins. Preferably the dealer would list the vehicles with us that they would otherwise take to the live auctions (Manheim, Adesa, etc.).

I am having a hard time getting dealers to sign up, and I can't understand why. It doesn't cost them anything unless they make a profit (the starting price would be their out of pocket cost, if the auction ends above that amount, we take 25% of the difference), we do all the work (pictures, uploading, etc.), and it is free advertising (craigslist, radio ads, emails, voice broadcasting).

Why can't I get them to list any vehicles? What tactic do I need to implement? Or do we need to change our business model in some way?

I would greatly appreciate any advice you could provide me.

Thanks,
Marella

Mr. Rucker,

How did you initially get involved with SEO? Your sites look good and you have a gift for online communication. Are there any sites that you have found helpful in learning the ins and outs of SEO? Thanks for your time,

Meg
