Look at the content, very week!
Multi-activity Vehicles (MAVs) on the 2007 AEI Dekalb IL
Don’t get too excited, there, weekend boater dude. Each of the multi-activity vehicles―SUVs in consumer parlance―on this year’s Automotive Environmental Index (AEI) are hybrids, each one is a crossover SUV lacking real off-road capability, and only one of them can tow as much as 3,500 pounds while seating seven people (the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, if you want to skip ahead). Read on and find more details about this car in Dekalb.
The "read on" is Google pay per click.
I called and left a message to get MY Internet Cell Phone number on the list, not the dealeship main number. Went to voice mail Go figure....
G.P.O.M.

Tim - JD Power hit mine for Audi with this page: http://local.jdpower.com/2008_Audi_A8_Preview_Elizabeth_City_NC-r1209578-Elizabeth_City_NC.html
I'm sure JD Powers has no clue!
Do THEY want their multi millon dollar brand name at the bottom of all that pay per click?
Do THEY want people to think that they wrote that weak first paragraph? Only to have their strong true content WAY at the bottom?
Do THEY want people to click on the link of: "Multi-activity Vehicles (MAVs) on the 2007 AEI Dekalb IL" and when people do click on it, the clickers are not going to Multi-activity Vehicles in the Dekalb area"?
WOW! This is the worst site I have seen, with the largest brand name.
@Zorn We can't stop this. There is a right way to do all of this, this is not it!
Can you say Out Source?

@Tim
And about making money using popular search phrases...like....your brand name. When dealers really take a moment to think about this, that the most popular automotive portals have been sapping their brand equity juice, they should get angry.
Then the next step, is to implement a strategy to own Google Page One. The sooner they clear off the parasites, the better.

This is bad example of doing business. In Business there must be a ethic followed.

Sorry, I'm not going to feel sorry for you because edmunds makes it harder for you to rip of every customer who walks through your door.
✨ AI Highlights
A dealer principal accuses Edmunds of acting against the interests of long-standing paying customers, prompting discussion about how major automotive portals and data aggregators like JD Power exploit dealer brand equity and content through SEO tactics. Replies veer into related frustrations about 'rape and scrape' content farming, trademark bidding, and whether third-party sites are parasitically profiting off dealer names. The thread's key tension is whether dealers have any real leverage against the large portals they depend on, with some urging a Google Page One ownership strategy as a countermeasure.
