How come

Ok Im not complaining but how come I do not see one Ford truck ad on this site. All I see is ads for Chevy trucks. Nothing against Chevy but there taking my money an putting ads on this site. i wouldnt think they could afford anything at all at this point in time. But I never see a Ford truck ad. That would interest more people on this site I would believe. Anybody know.

This topic has been covered many times...

It is out of the control of FTE.. They sell ad space and what you see are ads by google..

I am with you.. They are just throwing their money away advertizing chevy's to Ford people...

I am just kind off surprised that Ford doesnt advertise on here, Looks like somebody is missing the boat here.

Why would you spend money advertising to people who already own your product??

They are trying to get others to switch... Ford probably advertises on the Chevy sites..

One thing we don't ever think about is all the hundreds of people who are just browsing the forum researching and comparing new or late model trucks to purchase. They havn't registered an FTE account and they aren't necessarily Ford owners. Future Ford owners, maybe. They havn't made a truck buying decision yet, still making up their mind. They see an ad for the competitor's equivalent of the Ford they were checking out here, click the link and follow it. It must pay off frequently enough, or they wouldn't do it. And if FTE gets paid by Google per click, then why should we care? Click on a Chevy ad once in a while and help pull your weight around here.
