Blogger Buzz Brings Carseek.com Center Stage for Online Car Shopping and Financing

Mon Mar 3, 2008 3:02am EST
  SAN JOSE, CA, Mar 03 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Automotive bloggers and speciality site owners are taking notice and creating
"buzz" about Carseek.com, the California-based site that offers a
one-stop-shop approach for online car buyers. Packed with the latest reviews
on new models, featuring informative articles on all aspects of owning and
driving a vehicle, and tied to full-featured financing options including price
quotes and car loans, Carseek is hard to miss if you're part of the Internet
car community.

    "Who doesn't like to be noticed?" said Wes Mayder, CEO and President of
Carseek.com. "We are absolutely thrilled that bloggers and site owners are
coming to Carseek, evaluating the site, and sharing their opinions. Word
ofmouth is as critical online -- maybe more critical -- than it is out here in
the 'real' world. The people who are writing about us are respected by their
readers and we appreciate their support and plan to do everything we can to
live up to the praise we've received."

    Not surprising, much of the attention Carseek is receiving from online car
enthusiasts revolves around the site's up-to-date review section.
"Carseek.com...
[has] one of the largest collections of new car reviews on the Internet,"
writes ClassicRallies.com. "Their complete reviews include test drive, interior,
exterior and specs... You can read a review of the vehicle you want, compare
it to other vehicles, and have dealers provide price comparisons, within
minutes."

    CarsDBS shares this opinion as well as taking notice of the other services
Carseek
makes available. "There are many car-buying sites that offer reviews, but most
of them boil down to lists of features and prices. Not so with Carseek.com.
The site, which has long been popular with prospective new car buyers includes
photographs, industry news, feature articles, and reviews that actually give
readers a verbal snapshot of what it's like behind the wheel."

    An important recent addition to the Carseek site, featured hybrid reviews,
caught
the attention of the writers at TopGreenCars.com. "Being able to impartially
compare important factors in the choice of a hybrid vehicle such as fuel
economy,
cost, practicality, and performance, will enable a new hybrid buyer to feel
that he or she has done all the necessary research. Using the features of the
Carseek Hybrid Section will help you in that choice. As part of each review,
Carseek writers cover issues that are important to customers in each hybrid
category."

    Mayder credits Carseek's extensive remodel in 2007 for the new interest
thesite is attracting. "We took a hard look at what we were doing and took
thesite down to the studs, so to speak. We came back featuring the things our
readers told us they wanted and needed. Judging from the way our peers are
writing about us, it worked. That's very gratifying for me because it
meanswe're doing our job."

    News items on the Carseek.com site are prominently posted on the front
pageand updated during each business day. All new car dealer vehicle reviews
areposted according to manufacturer and the site's informative library can be
found in the "Articles" section. The editors invite your questions, comments,

ideas. Send email to: editor@carseek.com.
