My personal opinion regarding scarsdaleford... less is more, and this site has stuff all over the place. Seriously, if you take a look at this site as a consumer, where do you go? Where is the organization? And as a developer, this homepage is incre…
Mark,
I am not sure if Scarsdale Ford is supposed to be a "dumb stuff on dealer website example" but i actually kind of liked it and even tweeted some of their inventory videos which I think is a great idea the way they have it set up.
Wow, the discussions took a long circuitous direction. What are your thoughts on this site.
Let's hear some candid feedback.
Amanda - You are experiencing what so many of us have found... Being the "One Man Band" for a dealership or dealer group's online presence is just about impossible. And, if you are managing sales, or worse yet, doing demo drives and working deals, t…

I am not saying there isn't time, but yes the time is challenging...but I truly believe that no one knows their websites, or social media better then a Dealership's management team within each of their own departments. We are transitioning into beco…
@David @Jeff @Amanda
I will be brief because I don't want to sound like I am pitching here.
What y'all are saying and what our dealers are telling us is...where is the time to do it all? My suggestion is to find a company who will manage all the D…

Show Your Support for Chevrolet- Visit www.ILoveMyChevy.net
Chevy is tied to the fabric of our country, is written about in songs, and brings out memories for many of us. Throughout all this bailout talk, the American Pubic really hasn't weighed in on what Chevrolet means to them. I think it's time we heard from them. I sincerely hope you will get the word out to your clients,friends, associates and anyone willing to share their favorite Chevrolet story.

Be careful if you are using photos from Flickr- Lawsuits waiting to happen
Advertising Age just featured and article in which Toyota's ad agency "grabbed" a rights protected photo from Flickr and used it on their website without asking permission. With easy ability to grab images off various sites, we need to be aware of the legal issues and elements involved.
I suggest you read this article to get some better insights on how to protect yourself.

Got your message about the blog settings. Decided to change it up a bit. Using my name now as the sender, and then inserted "[AC Blog]" into the subject line.
Good tips, thank you.
