I am really struggling with this as well.  We have 6 stores all on Autotrader.com, 2 on Partnerships.  First Look Max writes our comments, though we do add to them.  We are usually 87-94% photos, so the marketing of our vehicles is pretty good. 


We just don't get a lot of leads from AutoTrader.com and I do understand that it should be considered advertising, not a lead generator.  However, our exit surveys are not showing a lot of ATC love either.  We spend around $8k per month, I'm sure we would lose some sales per month, but I'm not sure we couldn't get those back spending our money a little wiser.
