I tried and tried to leave the comment section of this page open to any and all wanting to place a comment on any article. Unfortunately there are too many users that will and did take advantage of this feature. You see, there are individuals and companies that sell computer robotic services. What are these robotic services you ask? These computer robots, search all over the web for open web pages, to ply their services. They really like unrestricted comment areas on a web page. They are able to fill in bogus names and email addresses, but a real URL address. When the comment is posted the URL is real and the customer who is paying for this service is banking on you the reader to click on this website. In other words, it’s like an advertisement for their web page and they are using a free medium to advertise. It’s SPAM! The same stuff we all deal with every time we open our emails. I hope you don’t have the 200 or so spam emails like I do each and every day!! I’m so tired of this and all I know to do is hit delete all. These companies or should I refer to them as criminals, spend money to obtain our email addresses and then turnaround and sell them to spammers. I know because, I have been approached by these criminals, attempting to purchase my bank of email address. I probably have 2000 to 3000 email addresses and will NEVER sell or give these to anyone.

 But, there is hope for those of us with web pages and blog pages and it is a simple word press plug in. If you spend any time on the internet, you’ll recognize the name of this plug in. It’s called CAPTCHA. The CAPTCHA is a box that uses a background design with letters and numbers that have to be entered by a user to access certain items on a web page. They range in difficulty from simple to very difficult in design. Remember the web-bots? Well, at the moment they are unable to configure these CAPTCHA codes and are not granted access to certain areas of a web page. I’m sure the internet criminals are working on hacking this as soon as they can, but for now we are safe with this CAPTCHA system and it works very well.

 I apologize to all my readers for the inconvenience of the CAPTCHA code. Allow me to give you some idea of what this has done to help me and this blog page. I was receiving 200 to 350 comments everyday and I reviewed each and every one to determine if real and publish worthy. After installing the CAPTCHA code, I receive 10 to 20 comments per day. This one fix has given me at least 3 free hours daily, that I can actually work on new articles.  I’ve had several people ask how I keep the spam from my page. I now let CAPTCHA code do it for me and life has gotten easier! So, HAIL CAPTCHA Code!!!

 The truth about car buying is something of a misnomer. I’m so glad you found my web blog. Trust me when I say, “ I don’t have the monetary resources to hit page one of the search engines!” So, thank you for finding my page! I do my best to give up to date information to my readers. So many pages on the web are completely outdated to say the least! My belief is if buying a car in 2010 or whatever year, you should have up to date info assisting you with your purchase.

 I continue to see these pages that rank higher than my page. What you don’t realize is the pages are composed and published by car dealerships or someone affiliated with multiple dealerships. These people have lots of money to put thier pages in the number one slot of each search engine. PERIOD! It really upsets me to no end when I log onto a page and I see affiliation with multiple dealerships in the United States. These number one pages offer no real information to you the consumer. They are used as capture pages only.  Get your best quote here! Well, you will receive a quote from an internet department of a dealership . Each time you get this quote, the web page receives $10 to $20 dollars for your Name, Email address and phone number!  Once you sign up with these people they will hammer you with emails and phone calls. You actually open the door to a can of worms! When you logged on to that page, all you wanted was helpful information. You walk away with no information what so ever!  You should never subscribe to these dealership internet ploys! I offer my readers the ability to get car price quotes only if the reader wants to participate! To get helpful information on this page cost nothing.  I have nothing imbedded within the page to capture the reader.

 Askthecarbuyguy will never affiliate with a dealership! All the information contained on this page is free for you the consumer. Even if you comment on an article on this page, I will not save your email address. I will send you a personal thank you for your comments. That’s all I will ever do. Of course, if you would like to discuss indepth an article that has been published, then we would communicate with each other. To have this one on one, you must contact me through my contact page offered on the home page of the blog.

 My sole purpose is to help people with their car buying decisions and help everyone keep the vehicle they have running and well maintained.  I put years of experience into each article, with up to date material and pertinent information, to help YOU the consumer! To be informed before the purchase of a large item, can save you the consumer, $1000’s of dollars and several hours of your time!!

 If this page has benefitted you in anyway, please share this with me and other readers. Your comments are valuable to me and the longevity of this page!  Be smart and BUY INFORMED!
