Thanks for answering. Sorry didn’t post back I got slammed today.

I checked out http://www.berglundtoyota.com too, do you have your video walkrounds you shot on there? I couldn’t find them.

Btw, I’m nowhere close to your market;)
Check ur email, call me anytime.

Used car walk arounds, and some testimonials

2. The video views per month are based on how many videos? And what type, vehicle videos?

160 videos published on 8 different sites, so 1280 videos, mostly used car walk arounds.

3. What search sites did you OWN with the videos?

Google.

1. How is the new videos simpler?

They are automated slide shows, hands off!

2. What new videos have you added to your website to get these results?

Slide show videos on used cars.

I do have some questions Tony regarding your post. Gathering from what you wrote it seems like you’ve been active with videos.

“We used to do all the video; I have gigs and gigs of video stored. I once had many of the videos I made on the site, and all our videos were on Google, AOL, Meta Cafe, MySpace and so on. We got 35,000 to 65,000 views per month, and we owned local searches for every make and model.”

3. What is your website URL? Guessing from your post it’s a Dealer.com site?

And, if you want to take this off-post just email me, Thanks Tony.

Of course Google visits our site every day! I was talking about a complete indexing which happens a few times (usually two times) a month for most sites. I have yet tapped into Google, or any other robot fully indexing my site every day. If you know the secret please write an article on how to do it so Jeff can let everyone in on the secret…

Joe, you write,
“But, to no thanks to you as Dealer.com has done all your SEO work. You can now cross “re-writing every page on your site 2x a month” and go back to sellin’.”

I would really like to know where you get all your information? In the attempt to make me look like an a**, you have made one of yourself! Dealer.com has done Zero of my SEO. They did it in the beginning, but I let their SEO team go back in June or July of this year… Now we are indexing much better. I rewrote every title, keyword, description, and all page content on our site. And I update this information all the time. Do you think Dealer.com would make those spelling errors that “Observer” so kindly pointed out? Get you facts straight Joe! Dealer.com can not take any credit at this point! I am certainly not going to say anything negative about Dealer.com as I think they are awesome, so I will not get into specifics.

As far as video goes, I agree with you, the digital voice is a bit mundane! We used to do all the video; I have gigs and gigs of video stored. I once had many of the videos I made on the site, and all our videos were on Google, AOL, Meta Cafe, MySpace and so on. We got 35,000 to 65,000 views per month, and we owned local searches for every make and model. These 100’s of videos were targeted geographically, so hopefully they were local viewers… I since took the videos down, and we are working on another platform that will take its place. Anyway, this current video method we have is simpler for us until someone comes out with something better… My conversion rate is up to 8% on our site, and the average time spent per visitor is up to 10 minutes per visitor since I added these new videos.

I really regret coming off so strong (and negative) on my first post on this site… My tail is between my legs (so Joe, that must make you happy), but if you are going to bash, get it right! All is fair because of my post, and I think everything has been covered!

And to clarify some of the comments I made about Digital Dealer Mag (nothing to do whith Joe); I was a cover story for Digital Dealer, but we decided not to run the article, and (to me) it was a bummer that we did not let the publication run it! So, Sorry about bashing anyone being on the cover of Digital Dealer! If Michael Roscoe reads this post he can agree with this statement…

I hope this is the end of Tony Bashing, yet I know it must be fun!

“… A good Internet Sales Manager can manage his, or her team, update the site specials, rewrite the SEO content on every page of the site (front and back) at least 2x a month (after the Googlebot visits), ..”

hahaha… ahem… Sorry.
Tony, if you’re my “Internet Marketing Dood” and my site is not visited by google at least daily, I’d fire your a**.

Actually, I shopped ya on Google and you’re scoring well, very well. But, to no thanks to you as Dealer.com has done all your SEO work. You can now cross “re-writing every page on your site 2x a month” and go back to sellin’.

Sorry to jump on the pile so late, but some times its so much FUN!

Actully Tony, I have a legit qwuestion. How often do your visitors click on your videos? One in 20? One in 10? One in 3 vistors? How long do they listen to the robot voice before they stop the stream? Have you tried to do a PERSONAL walk around a few cars to see if teh viewing time data increases?

See where I am going with this? Does the video generate interest (with leads to DIGL)?

Thnx for the fun Tony, I enjoyed the read!
Joe

Great comments. Mat you hit the nail on the head in many ways.

That is a great way of saying it “Hope System”

Keep up the great work!
