This is but some of the representative sample of the many emails I receive continually from ACF advertisers/users/members:

Hi Bill,

You are right......

BTW If I had known how positive the response would be from running the ad, I would have done it a LONG time ago. We are now hiring and training people as fast as we can.

Hi Bill, (03/24/06)

I just wanted to say thank you for hosting this great forum, I inherited a 4 bay self-service wash from my uncle about a year ago now & I can't tell you how much I have learned from reading past & current post here!

A Testimonial for your website:

I can tell you in the last six months I have spent thousands of dollars revamping my new to me (old) wash using vendors & I learned about from advertisement on the autocareforum.  Kleen-Rite, Ginsan & Dultimer to name just a few.

When looking for answers, I always start here.

Thanks again,
glenn

"... Help-- I'm turning into a "AutoCareForum Junkie!

Seriously, I wish I had known about your site before I built my 7/1 some 18 months ago. I've been visiting the forum for about 3 months now and recently asked a question and made a reply. I had no idea there was anything like this site out there. Best thing since sliced bread.

I hope you are making a living with the forum because I really enjoy reading everyday that I am at home & I don't want to lose it. I tried your competition a couple of times and there is no comparison.

Keep up the great work!"

Of course the Auto Care Forum also has many enthusiastic advertisers. Here are a few representative comments...

02/02/03 "... Thanks Bill. The above average CTR is obviously due to the great banner design. All kidding aside, it has more than paid for it self. Thanks again for having a great site."

02/05/01 "... I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how amazed we are with the traffic we have been receiving from your site. I have been tracking our visitors to see which sites they are visiting us from and over and over, I see carwashforum.com on the list. I counted the number of hits we received from your site in January alone and the total was 190! I just wanted to send you email and say thanks. We appreciate your help and the business of all the hard-working men and women that visit both our sites. Keep up the good work!"

1/03/00 "... I have been doing some research and am quite amazed at the traffic that comes to ginsan.com from the forum. Of course, its hard to measure how many of those hits become customers, but at least they're looking at us; you can't ask for more than that. Keep up the good work."
Marv Richardson, GinSan

This was sent to me by an advertiser when I inquired about his results on PC&D, as they use both sites. They asked that I not display their name:

6/24/03 "... Here is a summary of pertinent statistics. Auto Care Forum seems to do rather well for us. PC&D doesn't show up on the radar, which means that they are probably lumped into the "no referral" group. So, I cannot give you comparison numbers."
