The DealerRefresh community has a strong track record of calling out issues and usually seeing them get fixed.  This issue is the first to go so long.

With that said I am quite sympathetic to your SEO Analyst, and thus, the point of my post.  The SEO department of Dealer.com has been the black sheep for as long as I've known the company.  I haven't been a part of the organization for nearly a year, so one could believe things have changed.  However, my wife was a Senior SEO Strategist there till June 8th and she doesn't seem to think the SEO department has changed much in the last year.

Typically that department is fed a load of management flowery BS when issues arise.  And the person overseeing that department ([USER=10443]@Dan Durick[/USER] who has posted in this thread) is without a doubt on my top 3 list for the worst people I've ever worked with.  He's probably #1 on my wife's list.  He is the king of spewing nonsensical responses that are purely grown out of his ass.  And that's exactly the kind of information your SEO Analyst is being given.... I'm sure.

The real knowledge is outside of the SEO department.  [USER=5158]@Bob George[/USER] is a good person to listen to.  So, my point is to simply say that your SEO Analyst is holding the short straw at Dealer.com, and just trying to do the best he or she can with the tools (or lack thereof) that are available.  Please cut the SEO Analyst some slack.... not to say that you aren't.  I'm just saying it for anyone else who isn't familiar with things there
