And, collectively, they all require significant personal investment to learn, activate and maintain." I disagree. How can this be true if every social marketing webinar and seminar lately is about these very social networks? These sites may not specifically increase your search engine rank (cause most of the links placed are "no follow" links) but they can and do result in increased traffic. What's really funny is that these presentations by experts, focused at car/auto marketers don't mention the car-based social networks. Why not? Also, they're not at all hard to learn! Wordpress is not so different than MS Word if you stick to the basics. Kalehoff said, “But these tools are not part of any cohesive or sanctioned optimization strategy.
