BUMP!
What's going on with DealerMouth? I have not heard much about this service since we talked about it in this thread awhile back.
BUMP!
A member was asking about individual websites and it reminded me of this thread and the DealerMouth service.

Thanks for remembering dealerMouth Jeff...
We have had a few comments about the dealerMouth.com site being vague. We mean no harm or to mislead... We are just staying laser focused to our marketing strategies in finding dealers ...
...dealerMouth will only be looking for the sharp tools in the tool shed

So DealerMouth?
Create Micro Sites for each sales rep?
I thought this was an SEO no-no?
>search engines do not want to see multiple sites with similar or the duplicate content.. (The Problem with Multiple Websites and Duplicate Content )
Issues… downgrade your rankings on search engines… search engines will pick only one page for the duplicate content… stop indexing dealership main pages? Remove dealership from index as this is considered Black Hat SEO.
Does a dealer really want his sales rep to have his main SEO keyword searches going to the sales rep page or the dealership page?
Seems this is poorly thought out. If you want special pages for a rep… just give it to them on the main web site? We have all seen those meet the dealership – where most of them are BLANK… do you really thing sales reps are able to do this? I don’t see it now on those web systems that have a “meet our teamâ€. Most of those have an “under construction†notice on them.
Not sure I get this?
Give’em a Facebook or Twitter account if they have something to say… but not a competing web site in their local market.
What am I missing here?
(FYI- no pitch here but…Offers Network (icarsandtrucks, autodealermls, utubeautos) helps dealers create YouTube videos of dealer inventory and also post to Facebook and Twitter… thus giving them legal back links to their web site and enhancing their overall SEO in a market.)
So ... will it help us or hurt us?
Let's see... if I don't look at your service, that means I must be dull.
I agree that SM is best done at the sales rep level, but every statement you make past that is empty bullsh*t. I can toss 10 pre-teen girls into a room and create "social content".
It's clear that your terrified that others will steal your model, but, You're working with less than 20 dealers. What's costing you more... your fear of others or others stealing your model?
I hope your at NADA. We'll be there and you're not on our list. <--that was a marketing puzzle I just tossed at you!
There are many theories and proven protocols. Regardless of opinions, we have indexing stats on or salespeople's sites after a few short months that equal and sometimes dwarf the dealer's original 10 year corp site.Duplicate content is a myth...Google prefers fresh and new content but it will still settle for dups. Been using dup content microsites for years to shoot me to the top of every local ranking I wanted to be in. Yes it is black hat, but I could care less, my boss could care less and it's not illegal. Just taking advantage of the system and if you're not using SOME SORT of blackhat you will fall behind in your search engine rankings in 2011 due to the mass amount of free SEO/SEM content on the net and every computer user in the world thinking if you link your website in your forum signature you will get your #1 ranking. That's now how it works and you will be waiting a long time to get to the #1 spot.
