Ranking the third Party lead aggregators

[Alex Snyder]

I don't know how much I trust the vendor ratings on DrivingSales. Anyone who keeps even the remotest of tabs on automotive SEO companies would know this one is nothing but BS: SEO - Ratings | DrivingSales

And the CRM category: CRM-Variable Ops - Ratings | DrivingSales

AutoBase is number 1 by a mile ..... PUH-Friggin'-LEEEEEEASE!!!!

They're ranked by number of reviews first and the website doesn't let you change how the form is displayed (at least by clicking on "rating") but it does definitely paint the wrong story.

I say it's just a crappy website design :P

Hi Jeff, it's been a while- I agree the ratings can be biased sometimes but I did find the information helpful. I'm looking to find a business contact at CPS- Consumer Portfolio Services. Can anyone here help me or should I start a new post?

Again, I'm not going to speak on a negative tone about drivingsales. I have a lot of respect for Jared and what he does over here. We just take a different approach. We want vendors to participate, help, contribute WITHOUT being a sales pitch and would rather not "rate" the vendor.

But hey...obviously there are a few CRM vendors that have deployed their troops to rate them on driving sales.... kudos to them... I guess.

The problem: not enough dealer participate on these sites to get an actual picture of a vendor from a ratings stand point.

Seriously??

Very quick reply, Generate your own leads, we generate our own and increased sales 50% , we run on
the internet just like autobytel and dealix. and FTC legal. I did get this company that set us up from here.

I have a somewhat biased opinion about third party lead aggregators. Mainly because our company sets dealers up
on the internet with the same marketing model as autobytel, dealix etc. . But here is my point. I think it is not the price
you pay as much as how many leads you actually get a response from. you can buy a 1000 leads but if you only can
contact 20% you got 200. so paying $18. or $40 becomes irrelevant. close ratio is what it is about.
