How did you find PriusChat.com?

**Danny** · 03-22-2005, 08:46 AM

With the influx of new members and our ever-increasing membership, I'm interested to find out how most people have found out about PriusChat.

Please take a minute to answer the poll and if you found us via a search engine like Google, please let us know what you were searching for (what you queried). If you found out about PriusChat via another website, please let us know what that website is.

We'll be moving to a new server in under a month, so hopefully that will help with speed issues as we continue to have 50-70 people online at one time.

Didn't you post on a Yahoo group?...

**Danny** · 03-22-2005, 08:51 AM

Yep, that would be "Other Website"

rflagg · 03-22-2005, 09:18 AM

uh, where's "I don't remember"?

-m.

I'm in the 'can't remember' group, but I think I was doing basic research and trying to find tech info on the Prius after renting one for a 300 mile trip. Google, then whatever other websites that provided info, John's site, Mr Kash's site, Toyota's site. I never did frequent the Yahoo sites, they are just too hard to read in that format. Why make it so hard, when the Prius is so easy on everything else!

Can you change it to say "search engine, IE:Google, yahoo"? Google only accounts for about half of search engine traffic. Yahoo, and to some extent MSN, account for most of the rest. I found this site on a search I ran on Yahoo. I think it was "Prius extended warranty" as I had just bought my Prius a few days before and was upset with the stealerships extended warranty ($1650) offer and they fear mongering they use to push it.

The first time I talked to a Toytota salesman he told me about Priusonline.com which led me here.

Awesome!
A bit nitpicky, I know. But I manage a website (www.dcs-is-edi.com) and work with both google and yahoo on pay for inclusion ads and I despise Google's methods compared to that of Overture, who manages the Yahoo method. Traffic between the two is almost identicle at 45% each, yet I spend twice as much on Google and get less management capability as well.

First I found PriusOnline through a Yahoo search. PriusChat was mentioned frequently in messages so I gave it a look and liked it.

.....Still waiting for salsa AM, turned down a lot of other packages/colors..........
