Carport - Part of PCG AAN

When a consumer clicks on my car listings I publish on my blog or Facebook Fan Page, what car detail landing pages will be displayed?

The CarPort App will allow you to drop in your car inventory on popular blogging platforms, Facebook and social media portals like NING. When a consumer clicks on a photo thumbnail of a car for sale, they will be taken to a custom car detail listing pages on CarDealerSale.com. The custom landing pages are free of advertising from your competitors or distracting Adsense ads.

Your customized landing pages will have:

  • A custom header graphic with your name and logo
  • ADF contact/quote form that feeds into your CRM system
  • Links to your web site which are good for SEO
  • Links to your Facebook and Twitter accounts
  • Your store hours, phone number and physical address
  • A map to your store

The Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) landing pages are both search optimized and free from ads. These landing pages are design for conversion and follow-through.

Aside from posting my cars on my own blogs and social media sites, how will consumers find my cars?

All the cars in your feed will also be displayed on the aggregated advertising pages hosted on CarDealerSale.com as well as web sites included in the AAN. CarDealerSale.com will become a highly visible automotive vehicle advertising web site due to our expertise in search engine optimization and link building strategies. The site will allow consumers to search for cars in their local communities by zip code and make or model.

Similar to other inventory advertising platforms, consumers can quickly scan through dealer car listings, but that is where the comparison ends. The distinction of having your cars listed on CarDealerSale.com are:

  • No competitor display ads
  • Clean, distraction free detail pages
  • Direct links to your web site
  • Dealership contact information by phone or by web

How will a new web site launched on CarDealerSale.com compare to other well established car inventory advertising web sites?

The founder members of Digital Compass Marketing have built a strong reputation in the automotive community for their Search Engine Optimization (SEO) expertise. Our national automotive advertising web site CarDealerSale.com will have an architecture that represents the very best on design and search technology.

With thousands of optimized car pages, our unique network of advertising portals across the US and our link building strategies, the web site will develop strong organic visibility for major markets in 2010. This will produce optimized listing pages for our clients in their local markets as they list their car in our automotive advertising platform.

Can anyone list their new and used cars on the PCG Automotive Advertising Network?

No. There are some restrictions on who can be included into the Automotive Advertising Network. Our goal is to create special opportunities in each market for forward thinking dealers to leverage our digital marketing strategies. In some markets this can result in new car franchises having first claim to a marketing region for their new and used cars. The key here is that new car dealers can have a strategic placement for their cars in our network and not their closest competitors.

Can CarPort App be configured to drive traffic directly to my web site pages?

We are working with major web site providers to enable CarPort App to direct click traffic to either CarDealerSale.com's custom dealer pages or their primary web site This will give car dealers the option of mixing their CarPort App placements on blogs and social media portals to go to both destinations for A/B testing.
