DealerRefresh 3.0 - it's finally here!

[Marko Gale]

By the way, I don't know about other guys, but I would love to know your traffic.

Alexa puts you at about 275k or so, which is awesome, but you have some nice sponsors.

Can you share for those of us who are building our own site about how much you earn from this site?

Is that too close to the vest? Thanks.

Congrats on the move to WordPress - I've been using it for years on nearly a dozen sites. Nice crisp, clean layout. Looking forward to more quality DR content - keep up the great work.

@Marko Gale - DR is such a niche blog, I've never expected to see huge numbers but I can't complain. It's holds it's own and when I compare the traffic stats up against the other sites (even the magazine sites) geared towards this industry, DR usually comes out on top (obviously not sites like Wards Dealer and Automotive News).

As for the money made for advertising; I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever have ad space on a blog, but after being asked several times by vendors wanting to advertise, I eventually said yes. I was really against it in the beginning (ask Alex). I surely don't make much from it and just about every penny so far has went back into the new site. I've kept a little for myself, thrown a little Alex's way for all of his help and I also donate to the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation.

I never got into this for money and if all the advertisers went away..I'd keep on writing. Thanks for asking though.
