    The shit hit the fan

    There are super inexpensive options to backup to the cloud Like, getting a micro Azure VM ($56/month) and adding 1TB storage for files + a daily file backup of the code and data Worst case, you lose a day's worth of data (or less depending on your backup frequency) Done it long enough, happy...

    Does anyone have metrics on testimonials

    So the question here is Is it better to have a video testimonial on a dealer's website vs text testimonial We all know from an SEO perspective, text is better, but what about user experience on the website Do any of the vendors or dealers in this forum have any stats on this?

    Anyone using "Measurement Protocol"?

    Ooh ho ho ho ho ho While this seems really cool, I'm not sure what the value is for a dealer website Most dealer websites already have a google analytics implementation Plus I would really only want to track actual browser displays vs emulators and robots This would be perfect for APIs, and...

    TrueCar down -27.43%

    They could But that would be a huge lawsuit if the dealer was able to prove that TRUE lied

    TrueCar down -27.43%

    So for sake of full disclosure I did buy some options in hopes of this turning around But from what I read on this forum I think, in search for profit, they have alienated their true customers, the dealership. If they go back to making sure their customers get wins, I'm sure they will respond...

    Value of Online Directories

    @craigh that is what I had said in my earlier post I would only submit it to DMOZ and Yahoo Others I dont think are worth the effort Based on the question, I would say Nick is trying to grow his organic rankings For that I would strongly recommend not using directories Rather, participating in...

    Value of Online Directories

    I would say DMOZ and Yahoo Directory are about the only two you want to try If there are genuine forums/blogs that talk about cars and you participate in them, thats alright, but the $5 for 500 submission deals will do you more harm than good

    Why is Video so difficult?

    I would agree with @Prentice Parton's post If you can find the right PPC/SEM expert, you can leverage videos for better conversions

    Value of Online Directories

    Most directories that you can easily get into are SPAM The ones you really need to get into are tough to get into There are some directories that are blacklisted and if you get your listing on there, it will do you more harm than good.

    Its all software As time goes most software will have the standard functionality. Frazer has a good solution that integrates with a lot of other vendors too Plus its not crazy expensive or super locked down like ReyRey If it meets your need, I'd say go for it We have dealers that use Frazer and...

    In house inventory management

    When we were servicing lots, we had a dealer who wanted their photos online ASAP so we took 2 photos (front and front-corner) of the vehicle and put it online without any detailing before it hit service, without staging Then when the vehicle was through the recon process, our guy would delete...

    TAKE POLL Responsive [RWD] or Adaptive [AWD] ?

    There was a major change between bootstrap 2 and 3 (that is what we use) in terms of how the columns collapse When I said greater support, I meant its easier to find people who know how RWD works specifically in the bootstrap segment

    TAKE POLL Responsive [RWD] or Adaptive [AWD] ?

    There is greater support for RWD and is why I would recommend going with that.

    Vendor email and spam

    guilty as charged. I'm not on that list and definitely don't send more than a few emails a year what do you recommend as the best way to get in front of the dealership. Having boots on the ground is just to expensive, and if cold calling is also not recommend, HOW can a vendor get your...
