16.07 million unique visitors checked out AutoTrader.com in March, a record for the vehicle search site. Traffic was up 2 million from just two months prior, suggesting a shift in the way people are searching and shopping for cars.
Of course, increased eyeballs are only good news if they translate into conversions or action of some sort. Fortunately, for AutoTrader.com, they are seeing good news indeed. Contacts between shoppers and sellers (both dealers and private) were up 18% in March compared to the same month last year.
“The current state of the economy is accelerating the trend we’ve seen developing for some time,” said AutoTrader.com President and CEO Chip Perry. “Now more than ever people want to make every dollar count and they want to know they’re getting the right car at the right price from a dealer they can count on. And the Internet is the best way for buyers to find the information they are looking for.”
What’s your interpretation of AutoTrader.com’s good fortune? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

While some newspapers have finally embraced the inevitable, the AP still seems to be dragging its feet. This week, they announced a cut in rates to newspapers and also a more aggressive stance on sites that are aggregating their news feeds without permission.
AP has two major problems with this strategy:
Sure, it can be frustrating for a business to have to adjust to changing times and come up with a new business model, but AP wouldn’t be the first one to do so. Companies who wish to exist in any industry for the long haul must be prepared to adapt to new technologies and the winds of change.
What do YOU think of AP’s aggressive strategy? Tell us how it is in the comments.
