Bryan Brooks commented on Ralph Paglia's blog post Which Review and Ratings Sites Should My Car Dealership Use?"Correct, I am not a fan of dealerrater, no need for them after July 21 2011 if you have a strong organic and ORM presence to begin with. They haven't marketed themselves (think Cars.com or TrueCar branding strategies) to be a big enough brand…"

Bryan Brooks commented on Ralph Paglia's blog post Which Review and Ratings Sites Should My Car Dealership Use?"It's actually really simple to see the impact that customer reviews play in obtaining new clients especially if you manage SEO.

Bryan Brooks replied to Kilane Horn's discussion Can someone explain to me the rationale behind the several websites offered by TK Carsites?"I'm pretty sure it was all about POD when that was the popular acronym of the month ...... but that ship has long sailed as far as "Power of 5" being a viable website SEO strategy. I agree with you as Dealer.com and Dealeron providing…"
