With the advent of social media posts from Twitter and Facebook being integrated into search engine result pages (SERP), car dealers can further leverage their social media involvement.
The ability to have Tweets and Facebook walls posts show in search engine results is not without its…

I can't tell you how often I look at new products that hit the market for automotive social media and think, "What are they trying to do?"
Sadly, there are so many choices out there that have zero relevance and even less effectiveness. It concerns me, not because of the competition around it, but simply because I sometimes fear that car dealers will be lead down a wrong path and end up giving up on social media as a viable form or marketing for their dealership.
At TK Carsites,…

I can take the spam. It's easy to spot, so we don't have to put a ton of effort into moderating that part even if it sneaks on.
The decision has been made to moderate the posts on this network. The site was used recently to talk negatively about an individual. While there are plenty of venues to discuss opinions about vendors and individuals, this is not one of them. Using this network as a place to try to cast allegations towards someone can't happen.

You've created a car dealer web site? Now what? Your effort is wasted if no one sees it. The best way to get your site noticed is to make it friendly to both of your audiences? Search engines as well as humans.
Last month I received an email from an Internet Manager in California. He was very upset that my car buying website, LotPro.com appeared above his for the their dealership's name on Google. Prior to sending a reply to him I examined his site. I…

It's hard to believe that I've been driving for 10 years. This is understandably unimpressive in comparison to the experience many have behind the wheel. However I grew up in a time that things were quickly becoming more technological. Instead of riding my bicycle down my suburban block, I was playing the Oregon Trail on my computer. Instead of having friends over, I'd talk to them via Instant Message.

Social Networking has come a long way since the 90's. Some big players have evolved and it seems as if things aren't slowing down. With so many social sites to choose from, everyone is bound to be using at least 1 or 2 different profiles or blogs, and some of us have 10 or more! While these social websites are great tools for marketing, there are just too many of them, and you need a username and password for each.

Until fairly recently, harnessing the power of word of mouth has been virtually impossible. Now, tha…

Because I spend my days sifting through data, it always surprises me when I encounter industries and companies that don't know key pieces of information that assist them in making better business decisions.

A sitemap is how you tell search engines what pages are available for crawling on your website. A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the urls for your website.
Sitemaps are not required, and search engines will spider your website with or without one. However, sitemaps allow you to tell search engines specific pages you want spidered that they perhaps couldn't find otherwise. This is very important, especially if your website uses a lot of Flash, Silverlight, javascript, or frames. M…

Are there things we can do so we get more than our share or do we have to just take what the industry gives us? I think we can all agree, when the going gets tough, the dealers/salespeople that are on top of their game, get more than their fair share! What can…
