Have you been looking for a way to increase your web traffic? Have you been looking for a way to add content to your website such as daily news posts, mortgage rates, calculators, or polls? I have recently come across several free ways to increase traffic and content without having to manage the day to day content.
Keep in mind that these are absolutely free and can be used with a lot of different websites, blogs and social networking websites such as blogger, and facebook. When you try them out the widget will have a list of all compatible blog software making it easy to add to your site.
What's Widgetbox?:
I have come across several great widgets to add to my website that allows great tools such as:
The home front widget- allows you to add a free home valuation tool into your website. The person can type in their address and click to find an automated value based on Home Values search criteria. It's not 100% accurate but allows users to interact with your site and allows you to track the address searches. It could help create enough curiosity to obtain a CMA from you or open doors to a listing.
Live Mortgage rates- allows you to place a widget of rates on mortgages, car loans, etc... This definitely looks great and is updated without you having to do anything. Your customers could use the free on-line calculator and average rates to determine payments. This is a great ways for people to approximate their payments on-line. They will want to speak with a qualified loan officer such as myself to determine rates and programs they will be able to obtain.
V Flyer mortgage calculator- allows you to add a mortgage calculator widget. It works great to calculate the principle and interest payment on your website without opening another link keeping your viewers interested in your listings or content. It also could help them determine what their monthly budget and have an accurate view of what they can afford monthly.
Blidget- Allows you to turn your blog/ website into a widget. Now you may have your friends, family, colleagues place your widget of scrolling articles onto social networking sites such as; Myspace, Facebook or they can add your blog to their own website to add content. This could be used as a great marketing tool. You could even use it for scrolling listings on your site and could be replicated to other people's websites to help increase your traffic.
Google's Blogger Newsreel (for Google's free blogger users):
You may integrate the Newsreel function if you currently use blogger for your Real Estate website. The newsreel function is easy to add as a click of the button. You just list the key words and Google find s relevant daily news articles and posts them on your site. Check an example by visiting my site. The newsreel is located down the left side of my site.
Google Blogger Polls- Ask your readers questions to interact and gain feedback from them. My new poll is located on the left side of my site.
All of the mentioned tools are free and are located on my website. Check them out and click on the mini icon to get your own through the web based tool provider:
