Cox Auto Trader Makes Strategic Moves to Improve Online Automotive Advertising Business

Commissions-

I work for a small regional- We get 18% on everything in our region and 15% on everything sold into the next region over. We also get a year end bonus if we exceed last years sales. The best I have ever heard from other competitors is 25% - the worst is 10%.

Good luck! Print is far from Dead - I have many happy customers. It's all about results!
 
I know some will hate me but I think it's time we close this thread here on DealerRefresh. It most likely should had been done some time ago but to be honest this thread ran so ramped that I lost track and was no longer monitoring it.

Looking at some of the comments..I'm sure many would agree with me. Please refrain from sending me hate email if you will. I'm sure everyone can understand that it has become (a long time ago) non relevant to what DealerRefresh.com is all about.

Thanks for reading.

Well then. Nice to find this site and discover what happened. As a former owner of and AT, and employee of Trader it is a sad affair to see what a few good men and women can destroy.

Conrad, George, George, Brit, Norman. What a shame and shame on you. But then I would guess we are all retired now so it really doesn't matter. Does it.
 
Lol, there are several Ad sites that are giving them a run for their money. Autotrader been sending attorneys after people so they can monopolize. So, if you have autotrader in your name you are F'ed. They think they created other peoples domains names and paid for it. There is a site that is awesome looking in design and their ranking isn't bad for the time they been on the net called Bogartsautotrader.com. They got attacked - funny thing is it seem like they waited to see if they were going to do good then hit them from a reliable source of mine. Internet monopoly I mean you are going up against COX, corporate gangbangers it seem. If you are a small guy they can't handle competition what do they do - gangbang in suits and ties instead of man up and give people that made them rich help like all those dealerships that are going down I'm sure they made COX and AutoTrader.com rich so when they going to help the car industry like lowering their fucking feed prices. I know BogartsAutoTrader.com was doing this and people were happy. Spread the word, in my opinion they went after them BogartsAutoTrader.com because they are honest and is trying to help the car industry instead of rob them when the economy is down. Our country needs more honest businesses like BOGARTSAUTOTRADER.com. I won't doubt if Autotrader start harassing them to give up their domain name. That is what wussies do in my book must know you suck when you got to worry about the little guy, lmao sad. Money gangbangers once the corporate peanut butter kicks in they will get you stuck like a ghetto with no option "AUTOTRADER".
 
Dude, WTF? You STEAL someone's trademark and then have the gall to use the word "honest" to describe yourself? There are lot's of sites out there to advertise on so AutoTrader isn't a monopoly. Try calling yourself kraigslist and see what happens. Wait, you like craigslist - did you get rid of your 240 yet? (http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/1875150113.html) Better yet go out and open a fast-food restaurant named Stick's McDonald's. How 'bout Bogie's Burger King?

Be an honest guy. Build a real business that doesn't include another company's trademark in your URL. But wait, then you'd have to build your own traffic on google without using the words AutoTrader, Auto Trader or AutoTrader.com.

By the way, are you done "exposing" dealer "fraud"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkLLJFdUTH0&fe...

Dude!

The thread begins with a 2009 press release announcing Cox Auto Trader's strategic restructuring, including shutting down AutoMart and AutoExtra print magazines while consolidating digital properties under AutoTrader.com. It quickly devolved into years of off-topic replies from guests venting about corporate corruption, trademark disputes, monopoly accusations, and personal job loss stories. The forum moderator himself acknowledged losing track of the thread and called for it to be closed, underscoring how far it had strayed from DealerRefresh's intended focus.
