Dealer Internet Battle Plan
“In today’s social media dominated world, online consumer generated content, such as reviews and ratings, is prevailing as a key influence in shoppers’ decision to ultimately purchase a product or use a service. This trend can be recognized by the increase in popularity of Web sites built on business models providing just this type of information. A positive consequence of such review sites is that businesses work hard to avoid getting low scores and more effort is put into satisfying customers. “
Alin Sturek J. D. Power and Associates

• By 2011, Web 2.0 sites are projected to attract 101 million users in the U.S. and earn $4.3 billion in advertising revenue.

“Every now and then I google myself for fun to see what comes up. I did this just the other day I noticed my ADM profile page was #1, and I haven't even tried to SEO my profile. Now that I see I can get google's attention here I think I'll start using it to build content on other key words and point to my other sites.”
