No borrowed interest
DPI sites have no ‘model shots’ or even editorial. They exist to assist parts and accessories shoppers in finding the stuff they are looking for. No distractions. The sites are for research leading to purchases.
Research leading to purchase
Because there is no other reason to visit the DPI directory sites, the visitor is researching companies or seeking the latest parts and accessories for his/her vehicle.
As they navigate through the directory sites, ads expose users to brands that will come up in the categories they are searching. This brand reinforcement is timely as the site user progresses to the recommended parts, and increases the likelihood that the user will click on that advertiser's product. This is brand advertising at the moment that it has the most impact.
