Nice layout. You should change your page title tags and add Hogan Muffler in there. Every page has the same page title: Performance Exhaust Topeka Kansas, Auto Repair Services, Mendrel Bending, Mufflers, Brakes Also a JS error in IE8 Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET CLR 3.0.30618; OfficeLiveConnector.1.4; OfficeLivePatch.0.0; SLCC1) Timestamp: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:37:41 UTC Message: 'document.forms.0.elements' is null or not an object Line: 39 Char: 18 Code: 0 URI: [url=http://www.hoganmuffler.com/validate.js][url=http://www.hoganmuffler.com/validate.js][url=http://www.hoganmuffler.com/validate.js][url=http://www.hoganmuffler.com/validate.js][url=http://www.hoganmuffler.com/validate.js]http://www.hoganmuffler.com/validate.js[/url][/url][/url][/url][/url] I like it that you are using reCaptcha: Performance Exhaust Topeka Kansas, Auto Repair Services, Mendrel Bending, Mufflers, Brakes We use that here also to combat spam and false inputs. Can I suggest that you add your header to thsi page also? The appointment page. Unless it's just not loading on that page for me.

Nice Sheet, feel free to add it or any other form to the downloads section: Download Manager

Looks good. I like the graphics and layout. You have some JS (javascript) errors. 3 that I see when the pages load. (Internet Explorer 8) You may want to have your designer look into that. Your keywords are: car, auto, tn, white, house, auto repair, auto repair white house, auto repair white house tn, car repair, imports, import auto repair tn, foreign, bmw, volvo, mercedes, saab, volkswagon, honda, nissan, toyota, mitsubishi They are good, however..they are the same for every page. You may want to do something let's say for this page: Our Auto Repair Services , and add some of those services in there. Make each page as unique as possible. I would also include your shop name as part of every title, like: About Us - CAR Maintenance & Performance Our Auto Repair Services - CAR Maintenance & Performance It's not always great to copy a site title to every page, but in your case...the words CAR and Maintenance are good title key words. You should resubmit your website to: Google.com Bing.com Yahoo.com dmoz.org Currently in google, you have 2 listings only and they are from 2008: Google Hopefully this will help you a bit.

This will do what the link says..and mark them as "read" I attached a screenshot so you can see where the link is.

Moved into Banner Programs & Franchising Forum

* Adjusted thread title to reflect the vehicle with the issue, for better searches.

I heard about this yesterday. Another article: http://www.automotive-business-review.com/news/sears_starts_auto_center_franchise_100218

The new home page has been enabled. Now when you log in, you will see a welcome page with some quick links. The forum can be accessed by clcking on the FORUM ink in the main menu. Screenshots attached. Please post any issues or suggestions in this thread.

I'm in the process of testing a new home page/landing page. When you visit www.autoshopowner.com, you will eventually be directed to a new home page when NOT LOGGED IN, and a new account page when LOGGED IN with some account info and more of a welcome page with quick links, new posts, etc. The forums can be accessed from anywhere by clicking on the FORUM button in the main menu. I had it on briefly this morning for testing. It is now switched off for further testing. If you see it come on, it is because I am testing this feature.

You may have been wondering what has been going on with AutoShopOwner.com this week. Nothing but messages and errors saying that the site is down. Yes, we have been down all week, since Sunday morning. In a nutshell, our server where AutoShopOwner.com resides, had a fatal hardware malfunction Sunday morning. The hard drive crashed and up until now, has been mostly unrecoverable. Fortunately, we were able to revert to a backup of our site that we had. The backup however was also incomplete and from an earlier date, so we opted to wait and do our best to recover ALL the data, up to the point of failure. We are confident that this has now been done to the best of our ability and have decided to open AutoShopOwner.com back up. This is pretty much the worst case scenario for a website, which is why it is so important to back up data. Even with management systems in your shops, you most likely have a backup in place and are checking it periodically. Hard drive failures are unpredictable and can happen any time. You can only protect yourself by having backups of your data. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you missed the community while it was down. AutoShopOwner Team
