How Digg could have EASILY avoided the turmoil

How Digg could have EASILY avoided the turmoil …other than keeping Digg V3 live. Digg is currently focusing on systematic errors that are plaguing the site and making it challenging to get pages to load. This should be the ONLY problem that Digg is faced with other than the standard objections and complaints that always [...]

Digg: The Broken Covenant (aka Selling Out to “The Man”)

Digg V4: The Broken Covenant (aka Selling Out to “The Man”) Back in 2004, Kevin Rose loved Slashdot. Before the “Digg Effect”, there was the “Slashdot Effect” that had pretty much the same results – driving tremendous traffic that could take down servers. The problem, as Rose described back then, was that the power did [...]

Post for Digg. Because Digg wants a Verification Post.

A Super-Confusing YouTube Flowchart (that makes total sense) If you watch YouTube… who am I kidding? Everyone watches YouTube. The flowchart below looks completely nonsensical at first, but if you follow the paths something odd will happen. It’ll start to make sense. More importantly, it may yield a nifty discovery or 2 that will give [...]

The High Cost of Insomnia

The High Cost of Insomnia [Infographic] Infographic by Insomnia.net

Exposing Top Secret America

Exposing Top Secret America [Infographic] The world changed dramatically on September 11, 2001. Innocence was lost, lack of security was exposed, and the people of the United States and the world turned to their government to make things safe again. As a result, many believe we’ve taken a turn for the worst. This Infographic inspired [...]

World CO2 Emissions [Infographic]

World CO2 Emissions [Infographic] From basic global CO2 emissions rankings by country to the effect of cows, this Infographic paints a disturbing picture of what we’re doing to our world. Surprisingly, some of these statistics show that many of the assumed culprits are relatively innocent, while many “harmless” facets of life are doing more harm [...]

@Ralph - all of the above. @Keith - YouTube Insights gives traffic stats and sources. In this case they used videovisitors(dot)com, omnigy(dot)com, and internal YouTube PPC.

Scott - well said. All of it. We're currently waiting on permission from the dealer to act. Here's the funny part - in my investigations I found that this guy BOUGHT thousands of those views. He is now Tweeting over and over again about how poor li…

What interesting insights can you contribute to the ADM Community? Are you PASSIONATE about anything? Tell us who you REALLY are!

I am VP of SEO for TK Carsites, an automotive SEO firm in Orange County, California. We offer what we consider to be the Best Car Dealer Website Design in the industry.

For an example of some of our websites, you can check out Orange County Toyota Dealers, one of our newest examples of the TK Power of 5 websites, or even Used Cars Shreveport, one of our first examples.

I also write often for another automotive social network. It is similar to this one in many ways. You can visit my blog network even though automotive is only a small part of it.

Automotive Digital Marketing Resources

There is an abundance of information out there regarding automotive digital marketing. The challenge is in sifting though the high-quality content and the content that is geared strictly towards promoting a vendor's products.

The Automotive Digital Marketing Network is one of the best out there. Ralph has put together one of the strongest networks in the automotive sector, bringing vendors and dealers together to share ideas.

DrivingSales.com and my blog on Car Dealer Internet Marketing is another excellent automotive social network. It combines authors and experts from across the industry, giving dealers an extremely valuable perspective on vendors. The Vendors Rating section is unmatched on the Internet.

At work, I use the TK Carsites blog to get the word out about the latest and greatest from TK, the leader in Automotive SEO.
