    BUSTED Spincar caught selling dealer data

    Unfortunately the only way to avoid this is with a javascript blocker, but then alot of sites don't work. Plus Facebook has the 'pixel' which does not even rely on JS. The only way that you could justify selling user data collected by your customers is if you were providing your product for...

    Dealer websites with excellent User Experience

    Thanks- this app actually gets embedded direct on the dealers website, so the header, footer and contact are the same as whatever site it's embedded on. They are a dealer group and wanted to cross sell across multiple yards, and always show relevant similar vehicles when searching. Interested...

    Product Ideas.

    With respect to 1 maybe you could offer some sort of contest using a wifi or bluetooth competition to obtain data, or feed the personal info in an enquiry into a third party data profiling system. 2 seems like it would be pretty achievable, it'd just be a case of properly connecting your data...

    Product Ideas.

    Ever had an idea for a product/service that would actually make your life easier? As a developer it would be great to hear ideas from people in the industry about products or services that they would actually use - maybe I can build something for the community here. I had one idea a while ago...

    SEO?

    Sure, but the original point above is that SEO firms usually charge an absolute fortune- maybe it works but is it sustainable? and is the cost per conversion lower than other digital marketing efforts? I think one of the larger issues facing SEO firms is that they talk in terms of rankings and...

    SEO?

    Can you show any examples where a dealer outperforms an aggregator in organic SEO?

    SEO?

    The main problem is that its going to be pretty much impossible to compete with the vehicle aggregators like cars.com and autotrader, their backlink profiles and sheer number of links mean that you can't outrank them. You can probably get ahead on google map listings but the majority won't use...

    SEO?

    :cool: I had one client that signed up for $5k a month for a year, I checked after month 1 and they had put the free version of an SEO plugin in and written about 5000 words of content that noone will read. Safe to say they did not renew when they only started ranking for obscure keywords found...

    SEO?

    I've come across a ton a big SEO firms that some of our web clients have contracted, and for the most part the work is funnelled to a new marketing grad and the tactics are pretty low level. If you check out reddit.com/r/bigSEO some real experts hang around there and paying an individual vs...

    Automated SEM Companies

    This is pretty cool, I wonder if they will branch out and add the inventory in the same way they do for shopping now http://prntscr.com/k59fs3 like that when you search for nike shoes. I have always gone with a strategy of casting a wide net (lots of keywords, lots of ads) and then rapidly...

    Dealer websites with excellent User Experience

    Hello all, Long time lurker but thought i'd sign up and reply to this one. Last year my company developed a stock display system with an objective to show as many cars as possible to the consumer in a way that is not overwhelming. We read a lot in these forums while we were designing the UX...
