    Yahoo! Alerts - Create an Alert I use this one as well. It has become a lot more useful lately in picking things up. Before I would get maybe 1 alert a week. Not I get them as much as Google alerts.

    What are some solutions to scrubbing bad email addresses out of your database?

    Does AutoBase sit between the mail server and client machines by chance? If not, you could also use a service like what ZBennett was able to do on his own with access to his mail server. Companies like Sendgrid sit between your outgoing messages and your customers and allow you to monitor...

    Engaging the mobile car shopper with GEO-Targeting

    Where location tracking works really well: Apps like Waze and Inrix that will alert me of traffic events ahead. where geo-fencing works really well: when I'm driving down my street and I get within 100m of my house, my living room lights and my exterior lights turn on (provided it's after...

    We just built a new photo booth here are some pics

    wow, lighting looks great, even on the toughest contrast color. I think my only comment (and a small one at that) would be to test with a smaller aperture on the camera and see how that does with the interior shots. It will help keep the further away parts of the car in better focus. Will...

    What drops in leads are you seeing?

    If you're using Google Analytics you can separate out your mobile traffic into its own reporting but still also have it show up on your primary www stats. That's what we do and provides us with the full overall reporting and then a full look at mobile traffic. Really powerful. I can do a quick...

    DealerRater Credibility

    That they are indeed - given the vast number of verticals they cater to you are certainly more likely to have heard of them. Where Yelp starts to become less relevant, however, is in the auto industry as a review collection and promotion mechanism. If you take a common dealer customer the...

    How to Read Your Analytics - Organic Traffic

    Just to add on to this as it's a really important stat to monitor and a good thread: If you link your Analytics account to your Webmaster Tools account you can view your keyword results in Analytics under Traffic Sources > Search Engine Optimization > Queries. Chip-

    Does Text Messaging work for Dealers?

    As a consumer, I would love texts for things like service follow ups - or service appointment making ("Hey Chip, what's your mileage looking like? Do you need to schedule an oil change?"). At the very least I'd respond back with my current mileage so they can update their data...and would book...

    Inexpensive device to take 360 photos

    Blake - that looks very cool. I suspect it would be a huge hit with real estate agents too.

    What techy gift did you get over the 2012 holidays?

    hold in my hands, book.....? I'm a wicked techno-geek so most things typically have a battery and some kind of screen. This year it was the: Garmin S3 Philips Hue and a "gift" to my fiance, the Nest. But that was part selfish because I wanted to check it out and see how it worked compared...

    Tim Martell SLAMS Industry SEO Vendors

    Eley, for what it's worth, my whole life prior to DealerRater was in the (real) SEO world and I continue to follow it pretty close, but not so close that I get all riled up over animal updates. Automotive, however, is the only vertical where I still see SEO services being consumed by paying a...
