So I’ve been working on a site for an auto dealer in Oregon for about the past 5 months, let the record state I was done with my portion 4.5 hrs after the order.  Well it’s 5 months later and I’m still not done with this thing because they have no clue about anything on the web and have changed their minds several times. These people have had one excuse after another as to why we weren’t getting all of their information. The woman in charge was in an accident then she blew her back out, then they fired their manager and on and on. Anyway today, I finally received the photos of their dealership and the remainder of their content from, get this, their webmaster. WTF, why would they hire an outside company to build a website if they have a webmaster?  Got me, but o well money is money.

After speaking with their “webmaster” and receiving emails that finally have some substance I will finish their site in about 30 mins. The funny thing is, Auto Credit Express is amazing at SEO/SEM – we are the industry leaders, yet they decided just last week to only have us build their website not SEO it. I am going to make sure that it receives no organic traffic from anything that I do. I will not be doing any meta info or wordsmithing any content to get them higher rankings.  I guess we’ll see if their webmaster has any skills.  I’m not to sure that he will be able to help them in that department due to the fact that he claims Search Engines actually list Flash sites in their results.  This is not the case for anything outside of entertainment site. Why wouldn’t every company have a flash website if they could get traffic from it.  I know I would.  The problem is no SE will place it in the top 10 for any term, unless it’s the NHL or the Beastie Boys, you know directly typed in high profile names.

My suggestion to any web folks out there, don’t agree to do “speed” sites, they always expect more than your contract says, often times it’s a he said she said BS game these people like to play. Anyway I will be taking care of this site for the next 30 mins then I will post a link.
