Default Using your automotive blog.

I haven't seen much here on how dealers are using their blog to promote sales. Thought I'd point a few ways I've used it and see if anyone has any other ideas.

My blog is http://blog.norcalcars.com.

One of the best things I have done to promote traffic is the spotlight section. As I have time, I showcase a particular car or truck on my site and write an article about it. This has been a good way to gain search engine traffic based on that vehicle.

Another way is to discuss local events. This has given my blog a more regional flavor.

I've found that there is not enough happening with the dealerships on my site to keep a blog going so this keeps the blog interesting.

What do you use your blogs for?

Thumbs up

This is a good-looking blog. Has great user appeal.

I added a category to our new directory community for dealer blogs. It's called Auto Dealer Blogs but you won't see it until at least one link is tied to it. You can be the first dealer to input a blog to this category. Check it out - www.autoconversion.net/sitelinks.

Glad you shared this.

Think you need to be registered with the site in order to submit links. Once you register and are logged in you should see a Submit Link option in the user menu. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
