    [RESULTS of] POKING THE BEAR! What did you pay for CarGurus last month? Use the Form and let's compare!

    As a spinoff of the @Jim Lease post, "Cargurus might be coming for you soon. PRICE INCREASES", and a plethora of previous posts in DR, why don't we just compare in order to encourage CarGurus and others to just be as price transparent as they tell us we should be? I know CarGurus is watching...

    Did anyone else see AutoTrader Referral traffic tank in GA?

    Without going into the Classified vendor debate, did anyone with AutoTrader notice the Referral traffic (as labeled as Referral) tanked in the last 45 days? After digging into it, pushing the issue with them, insisting they check their UTM structure, I received this email from a regional rep...

    Classified Listings and Cost Per VDP - Relevant still or meh?

    I'm back in retail after being on the vendor side (which I think everyone in retail should do at least once and vice versa) for nearly two years. Prior, I spent 14 years on the retail side mainly in Internet/BDC/eCommerce/Dig Ad. Around 2010, I was struggling how to measure ROI of classified...

    DealerTrack which owned 2+ CRM's then buys Dealer.com which was rolling out their new CRM. Then Cox comes in and swoops up DealerTrack while already owning VINSolutions. Let's agree Cox isn't going to sell 4+ CRM's. So which CRM will Cox/AutoTrader fully adopt and offer to Dealers?
