AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising resource / networking portal that hosts a blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time. Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host of the blog talk radio show featured on WAAOL – Automotive Advertising Experts – announced that he will be interviewing Dale Boone, the President and C.O.O. of www.EveryCarListed.Com , Darell Campbell, the C.E.O. of Every Car Listed and Briggs Ferguson, the President-Internet of Idearc Media LLC on the show that is scheduled to air on Friday, July 24th 2009 between 12:00 Noon EST and 12:30 PM EST.

EveryCarListed.Com is a preferred automotive advertising vendor on AdAgencyOnline.Net and both Dale and Darrell have previously appeared on the Automotive Advertising Experts show to discuss thier inventory based automotive advertising website. Philip explained why Dale, Darell and Briggs were invited to update AdAgencyOnline.Net’s audience of automotive advertising agencies and automobile dealers, “EveryCarListed.Com has earned a position as a preferred automotive advertising vendor on AdAgencyOnline.Net based on their unique understanding of both the automobile business and the new automotive advertising technologies being offered on the World Wide Web. For example, I have always been impressed by their integration of social networking to differentiate EveryCarListed.Com from other third party inventory based automotive advertising websites. Their support of the auto industry social networking site – www.AutoIndustryInsights.Com – known as the “Network Of Networkers” evidences their recognition of the need for relationship based selling to satisfy consumer demand.”

“In addition, EveryCarListed.Com recently proved their priority to give online car shoppers what they want by their decision to post videos on their vehicle listings to improve the transparency on their site; another consumer preference that has surfaced as a must have by online shoppers. Our research has confirmed that consumers prefer a video presentation over copy or still pictures when an auto dealer describes a new car or a used car for sale on their site. EveryCarLIsted.Com announced that they are moving towards becoming the only all-video listing site, with one million vehicle video listing available now, and the remaining vehicles on the site expected to offer video by year’s end.”

“Another announcement that warranted Dale’s repeat visit on this week’s Automotive Advertising Experts show is the fact that SuperPages.Com has launched a new “Cars” tab. The link is positioned at the top of their home page allowing consumers to shop for vehicles within their site by accesing all the listings from EveryCarLIsted.Com – including their video listings. The combination of the trafic from SuperPages.Com and the value added video content of EveryCarListed.Com will create a large and powerful all-video shopping arena that will provide a quality venue for auto dealers and an enhanced shopping experience for car buyers. That “win-win” scenario is something that my affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer clients and site visitors need to know about!”

Superpages.Com is Idearc’s products and services search engine that has more than 27 million unique visitors and ranks 27th in the top 50 U.S. Web properties according to comScore. EveryCarListed.Com was purchased by Idearc media, a subsidiary of Idearc, Inc., in February 2009. A representative of Idearc provided Philip Zelinger with the following press release and related information in advance of the show to help prepare the agenda for Dale’s interview and review of the new all-video platform planned for EveryCarListed.Com:

“With Superpages.com’s traffic and EveryCarListed.com’s content, we are creating a powerful automobile sales arena,” said Ferguson. “These sites will provide a venue for dealers to take advantage of exclusive advertising opportunities that will bring more consumers to their dealerships.”

On the EveryCarListed.com site, consumers can search listings by make, model, fuel economy and many additional preferences. Automobile dealer inventories are listed at a basic service level at no charge to the dealer.

Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and the host of AdAgencyOnline.net recently commented on the impact of inventory based websites like www.everycarlisted.com and Internet marketing on today’s struggling auto industry and automotive advertising agencies.

“After surviving thirty years in the auto industry as an auto dealer, automotive advertising agency and more recently as the President of AdAgencyOnline.Net - a free automotive advertising resource portal – I can honestly say that I have seen everything and today’s tough economic times are no exception! I started selling cars in 1975 in the middle of that decade’s gas crisis and the premature announcement of the “death of the american auto industry” was as widely exaggerated then as it is now.”

“Frankly, if free automotive advertising inventory websites selling Automobiles Cars Trucks etc. – like EveryCarListed.Com - existed then it would have put the auto industry, automotive advertising agencies and the economy back on track much sooner. Every Car Listed allows consumers who are looking for used cars, or who have their own used cars for sale, to advertise their Pre-Owned Cars for free to a national audience of like minded consumers who are selling a car and most likely buying cars themselves.”

“Automotive advertising agencies are now able to help their auto dealers who can sell cars online for free while connecting with buyers and sellers before, during and after the sale with sites like EveryCarListed. This online process of selling cars, and even arranging auto financing through posted vendors, is a modern day marvel that has been developed as a result of the struggles that the auto industry and automotive advertising agencies are now facing and it promises to help us turn this corner faster than the last time around.”

“Selling Sports Cars, Certified Pre-Owned Cars, Auto Warranty programs and basically everything that a consumer needs on one website with virtually every manufacturer and every model available while featuring Certified Cars alongside private “as-is” vehicles provides consumers competitive comparisons in product and price that they need to get the best possible deal
. Of course a Certified Used Car can only be purchased from an auto dealer but since both private sellers and auto dealers are able to compete on an even playing field the value for each can be determined by the price.”

“I am the first to recognize that the auto industry is in bad shape for a number of reasons, some that they could have controlled and some that they couldn’t, but the good news is that auto dealers are doing whatever it takes to sell cars and the smart shopper can get deals today that they couldn’t get yesterday and may not be able to get tomorrow!

The point is – bad news for the auto industry is good news for consumers – BUT, EveryCarListed.Com is good news for both!
Their free automotive advertising site has come at just the right time to put all of the pieces of the puzzle back together and help struggling auto dealers and consumers come to the best deals for both.”

If you have the time, tune into our site’s blog talk radio station, WAAOL- All Automotive Advertising All The Time, and download the interview with Dale Boone and Darrell Campbell from EveryCarListed.Com to listen and learn about the leveraged resources for consumers and auto dealers that they have developed.”
