In a recent post at drivingsales.com I sent a post a link as a trackback really to help drivingsales with SEO and to show dealers there are multiple ways to drive online traffic to themselves.  When the vendor read the original post they commented that “SEO takes ages” and took it as an in fun challenge to show that SEO can be almost instant.  “Dealer.com SEO vs Search Engine Marketing”

The post was not inflammatory but the phone call I got regarding it was.  I was even offered an education by an executive at dealer.com in search engine optimization in his voice mail.  I got thick skin, but they attacked my business model with mealy mouthed comments and my intelligence with an arrogant voice mail.

What is great is others have not started blogging about the post that talks got dealer.com going and I am sure more are to follow.  I am sure that these top end vendor executives are not going to like being showed up by us other automotive consultants.

Pure Dealers Post about the Dealer.com Challenge.

As many people who read here they know I blog about being an Internet Sales Manager.  That blog has been a huge networking tool inside of the automotive industry.   A recent post I did there about abuses of social networking really raised the dander of a few people in that niche.

Basically I posted about how someone who claims to be a “master of emarketing” abused an automotive social network by sending out spam promoting an upcoming training event.  This started a ball rolling that could not be stopped.

It has changed my life forever.  It has propelled my online automotive career to the next level.  Defiantly a positive change for my family and myself.  The financial rewards at the onset may be less but in the long run can only be better.
