what is the difference between flash 10.1 and 24? I have heard that at least one publisher will not accept the 24 version. Is 24 newer?

Hey Jim, that is a common misconception with DealerRater.

While I am not affiliated with DealerRater, and do not speak on their behalf, I have some clients who are DealerRater Certified, and you still do see negative reviews on their profiles.

The big benefit here is that you as the dealer have the opportunity to address these poor reviews before they go live. As a GM, I can then connect with the unhappy customer, and try to make it right before my reputation is needlessly impacted. Often times this method is successful, resulting in a higher than average influx of positive reviews.

JD Power has a solid reputation in the rating business but they did not do their homework regarding DealerRater. It appears that DealerRater only posts good reviews for dealers who have paid to sign up as "DealerRater Certified" and bad reviews for dealers who don't pay the fee. A quick scan of the site shows that "DealerRater Certified" dealers have great reviews, while most non-certified dealers have a low average score. You can also notice that the good reviews for the Certified dealers are posted on the same date. Dealers who are not active have low scores and the posts are pulled from other sites.

Compare pricing of diesel vs pricing of propane, propane is the future of alternative fuels.

I had one customer have their (completely legit) business page blocked without so much as a friendly email notice. It's always an adventure with Google Places.
