Our Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools Webinar has come to a close and despite some early technical issues (sorry about that), the feedback was very positive.

LOTS of great information along with many questions were being asked.

Brian was just scraping the surface of Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools and how dealers can leverage these 2 awesome tools.

Several topics were covered, including..

DealerRefresh and Brian Pasch are teaming up to offer dealers an invaluable webinar on how to utilize Google Webmaster Tools.

Google provides a number of free tools that provide a wealth of information to anyone seeking to increase traffic, leads and sales to their website. Google Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics and Google Insights for Search are three tools that are under utilized for Internet Sales Managers.

If you haven’t looked at these tools in the past six months, you will be surprised at the number of new data points that are being collected and measured from your website.

If you are serious about learning more about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), traffic generation strategies, and improving website conversion you need to understand that great data that these tools provide.

This is the first time that Brian has offered to conduct a webinar workshop on these very important tools.

The webinar will be held on Tuesday June 22, 2010 from 10:00 am – 12:00 noon EST.

The cost is $25 per dealership rooftop login. This is a tremendous opportunity to unlock the mysteries of these tools and improve your digital marketing strategies.

Can Foursquare be an effective social media communications tool for retail car dealers?

If you not sure what Foursquare is yet, it’s a location-based social networking site which requires the use of your mobile phone or mobile device to check in to venues/businesses.

To “check in” requires you log in to Foursquare, pull up a list of places or venues that have been added to foursquare.com by other users and use the Check In button. If the venue doesn’t exist you can add it by entering the name and address. Beyond the individual aspect lies an intriguing marketing opportunity.

Isn’t she ‘tweet? It’s that time again – the semi-annual Digital Dealer conference, and of course the infamous review care of DealerRefresh. Jeff Kershner was unable to attend, I think he was attending the Cannes Film Festival or receiving the Nobel Prize for Automotive Excellence or something, so that leaves the flunkies like myself and Alex Jefferson with The Proctor Dealerships to pick up the slack…

So what kind of healthy food do automotive professionals eat? For the first official meeting of the “Automotive Industry Knights of the Round Table”, we chose to meet at the Rosen Shingle resort, which coincidentally was also the location for the 8th Digital Dealer Conference held in Orlando, Florida. Ok, so the table was not round, and most of these guys are not Knights, or even someone I might want to even run into at night, but great fun was had by all as we gathered together to share what is working well for each of us in this rapid-paced market, as well as looking for new ideas for where things are going.
