In my quest to generate more interest in this forum, I've created a cardomain page for my Granada ( www.cardomain.com/ride/3046992 ) with a link to this forum. I encourage all of our members to join cardomain and post a link to this forum. Setting up a page is super simple with step by step instructions, and once you've visited my yet to be fully completed page, you'll see that it doesn't take much to promote the GMV Registry! |

I've had a cardomain page for a year or so. I'm not a real big fan of that site as it is all focused on performance and mods. There is not much to fill out if your car is pretty stock. Prior to switching to the new Registry site, I never had a link referral to my GMV-Registry link there. Also, I contacted every Granada & Monarch owner on Cardomain about a year ago about the Registry and Forums and I don't think I got any responses.

Jeff, I've visited quite a few pages on Granadas and very few of the owners leave the car untouched/unmodified. Everything from drive train mods, engine swaps, suspension tweeking/lowering, bigger wheels and paint jobs and even interiors. More and more people, myself included, are restomoding them much in the same fashion that the Mustang and Maverick crowd are doing. Many in the younger crowd are using these Grandma cars as perfect sleepers.
I've also noticed that Cardomain members just show off their unmodified cars as well. The crowd is quite diverse.
In my humble opinion, the more people form this forum that join and post a link to the forum, the more attention we shall get!

Just to share with y'all some of the stats from my www.lincolnversailles.com website... In March there were a total of 17,759 pages views. Of these: - 45.7% of the page views were for Versailles
- 25.0% of the page views were for Mark III
- 19.7% of the page views were for Granada
- 9.6% of the page views were for Monarch
While I do have links for the registry and this board on my site, unfortunately the stats don't tell me how often they are accessed. And, I probably average only one email a week from the site. Most just come to my site to look at the pages, brochures and docs. |

I have a cardomain and it gets quite a few hits I'll post a link to the forum. There aren't many Granadas and especially Monarchs on there at all. The cars could get a lot more attention if there were more nice ones on a popular site like that.

sixty9santa - you're right - all publicity is good publicty. I also have the Registry on the Hemmings site and quite a few other automotive sites.

I'll second that. Thanks for letting us and our Fords and Mercs occupy some of your site's bandwidth, James.  James K= I often hit your site for specific information on GMV's. I'm actually impressed by the quantity of visits you have. We all benefit from your fine efforts. Thanks, Ralph |
