- Cash for Clunkers Program Rules

I have received hundreds of email with questions about the Cash for Clunkers Bill, and so I have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help calm anxious consumers. If you have additional questions, send them to info@cashforclunkersfacts.com
Q: Does the Cash for Clunkers bill apply to used car purchases?
A: Currently, the language of the proposed bill is only for new car purchases. If you are looking for a used car, click here.
Q: If I already purchased a new car, in the last few months, can the voucher apply to my past purchase?
A: We can not answer that question until the final bill is signed into law. This is a very popular issue so stay tuned and make sure you sign-up for our email alert list.
Q: If my car is worth more than $4,500, how would the Cash for Clunker voucher work?
A: The program would not provide any benefit if a car dealer would give you more than $4,500 for your trade-in. If you want to purchase a new car, do not wait on this bill if your trade is worth more than $4,500 since it will not provide any upside relief.
Q: I have two old clunkers, can I trade-in both cars for a $9,000 voucher toward a new car purchase?
A: The current wording of the bill would seem to indicate that only ONE voucher can be applied to a new car purchase.
Q: How do I know if I qualify for a $3,500 voucher or a $4,500 voucher?
A: We need to wait on the final wording of the bill. Since there are various versions of the measure in play, we will notify everyone on our email list when the final bill language is signed into law? The amount will depend on the car you purchase and the increase in average MPG.
Q: How do I find a local Cash for Clunkers Participating Dealer?
A: If you will be purchasing a new car if the bill is signed into law, complete the form on the left. We will have a local dealer in your state contact you and get all your trade-in information now. This will allow you to be prepared when the bill is signed into law and be at the head of the line for the car you want.
Q: Can I go to the junkyard a buy an old car and use it for a trade?
A: The final language of the bill is still to be decided but it seems that you will have to show that the car is operational and that you have owned the car for a period of time. Right now, that may be a one-year period.
Q: What will happen to the car I trade in?
A: Once again, we have to wait for the final language but it would seem that the car would be recycled so cars that are worth more than $4,500 on a trade would not be viable for this program.
Q: My car is old and originally got more than 18 mpg, but now it gets 14 mpg. Will it qualify?
A: That is another popular question. We will have to wait and see if the bill provides a reasonable assessment of current MPG versus original manufacturer EPA MPG.
Q: How long will the program last?
A: That is still unknown. Some insiders were hoping to get funding that would keep the program running for one year. However, if funding is reduced, the program may only last a few months. That is why we encourage all consumers to connect with a Cash for Clunkers Participating Dealer now, so your paperwork can be lined up when the bill is signed into law.
Q: Are there restriction on the year of my trade-in?
A: The car can not be any older than a 1984 model year vehicle?
Q: Why would some trades qualify for $3,500 and other trades get $4,500?
A: The difference in vouchers depends on the improved gas mileage as compared to your trade. For example, if your new car purchase gets 4 mpg more than your trade you get $3,500. If the new car gets 10 mpg better than your trade you get $4,500.
Q: What if my trade-in is worth more than $4,500?
A: This program does not apply to you because you will be better off trading the car in through traditional channels. All cars that are part of the Cash for Clunkers bill we be sent to the scrapyard.
Q: I have an old clunker truck that gets under 18 mpg. Can I trade that in for a car that gets over 22 MPG?
A: It would seem that you will be able to trade it in. We will wait on the final wording on the bill since this is a very popular question.

- Google Adds Icons To Press Releases and Profiles
-
- brianpasch
- April 26th, 2009
If you have every thought that Google search engine displays a boring list of search results, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Google organic search results are getting more interesting to read as Google is adding icons to different classes of search result links. One trend that I observed are very encouraging to business owners who are using press releases to promote their business.
Google must be in the process of creating categories of Internet posts and deciding if the category warrants a graphical icon, sort of like a universal sign. This week I posted a press release for an upcoming SEO Briefing that I am conducting in Red Bank New Jersey.
Three hours later, when I was doing a Google search on my name, I noticed that Google had a special graphic to call attention to my press release since it included my name.
The graphic was a newspaper icon which not only called attention to my article but made it easier to visually categorize on the screen. Over time, this will allow web surfers to recognize certain posts based on where the article was posted. So it would seem that recognized press release websites are getting the newspaper icon.
Check Out The Newspaper Icon
You can see this icon for yourself by going into Google and typing “brian pasch free seo red bank“. You will see the press release I created on Webwire.com. I like the idea that companies who are utilizing respected press release websites get this added callout since Google’s display pages lack excitement.
If you are not publishing out a press release every month, you are missing a great opportunity to gain Google page one placement for local targeted search phrases. If you create press releases with titles that are targeting you top keyword list you can be a big winner in drawing extra traffic to your website. If your target marketing area is not the whole county but a few counties, press releases are even more effective.
In my previous articles I listed a number of free press releases websites that can help your Internet visibility immediately. Now, with these icons highlighting press releases, it makes even greater sense to start writing.
Google Profile Icons Started Appearing
Another new icon on Google Page one for searches on your name is something called a Google Profile. When you do a search on my name, “Brian Pasch” Google shows my free profile listing and a graphic at the bottom of the search results. I don’t know if Google has decided to go after profile websites but it is giving priority to its free service.
Once again, anyone doing business today will have their name Googled. So why not have a free iconic listing showing up in Google search results. Your profile can have all your contact information as well as a link to your website. This free personal branding is something that should not be ignored.

- Is a Rip Off Report Posting Hurting Your Business?
-
- brianpasch
- April 6th, 2009
If you have been a target of a negative posting on sites like www.ripoffreport.com or www.complaintsboard.com and are losing business as a result of the posting, give us a call. The majority of these posts cannot be removed from the websites and there is no motivation from the website owners to take them down.
There are cases where our firm has been able to negotiate a post to be removed. This is the exception and not the rule. It depends on the website and the circumstances of your case.
If an Internet Reputation Management consulting firm claim they can remove most negataive posts from these websites, they are misleading you so beware. The owners of these sites are numb to threats of lawsuits so not get too worked up if they refuse to take down a post.Most websites have the ability for a business to respond or refute the claim. There are times when you will want to respond and other times you will be better off ignoring the post. What you don’t want to do is to generate any unnecessary traffic to the negative page.
Removing Negative Posts from Google Page One
The Pasch Consulting Group has effective strategies to deal with negative posts on the Internet that are affecting your business or your reputation.
- Do you want to push posts on RipOffReport.com or ComplaintsBoard.com off Google Page One?
