    How can I get more (real) phone numbers in my leads?

    What camera do you use for pre-owned inventory?

    I don't think there is a need for DSLR when photos are ultimately compressed-for-the web JPEGs. Biggest thing is ease of use and a system (like those identified by previous posters) in-place to make you more efficient; batch processing and automation of watermarks, posting, etc.

    Which vehicle marketing site do you find your best results?

    Thanks for the comments guys. I can see that there is a lot of variability. Goes back to testing - A/B, market-to-market, PPC vs Autotrader.com, etc. @alexsnyder Wow, PPC, wouldn't have though that. Local within 90 miles by model/make PPC works best? @jeffkershner Agreed! @danoneil How do...

    Which vehicle marketing site do you find your best results?

    There are many places to promote your vehicles online...pick from Craigslist, eBay Motors, Autotrader, Vast, etc. Which site is your bread and butter? Which site gives you the best ROI? Any that are overrated? Have you shifted your focus to more social media sites like Facebook and Twitter?

    Ford Store, Anyone?

    @alex snyder Makes sense. In research for a dealership it looks like Yelp, BBB and Insiderpages show up in searches with ratings. DealerRater is buried

    A Clever Twitter Marketing - What 99% of Dealers Aren't Doing and Why your Dealership Should Be.

    eBay Listing Templates

    @shawn A bit more out of the box and probably much cheaper is to find a designer to make you custom templates on 99designs or eLance.

    Dealership Apps

    Sales/service app is probably a waste of time. A simple monthly/quarterly email with the latest service information and history is a more elegant solution.

    Links are definitely not dead. Google might frown on this activity...it resembles a link farm.
