Thank You Matt for the great news.

Happy New Year!

Active Rain is the neatest thing since sliced bread!

Quite honestly, I can't remember how I found it on the internet in July, but it's been a total pleasure ever since.

Just wish I had more hours in the day to read more..... AR does everything else in Real Estate, can you make the days longer too?  :)

Yeah I could use more hours in the day to, I think I've probably averaged 80 hour weeks for the last 6 months. 

Matt, don't stop. This is good stuff. Well worth your effort.

Great information. 2007 is going to blow these stats out of the water.

Matt-  Happy New Year !!

 Thank you for the feedback !!

Thanks for the update Matt.  I'm very excited about localism. 

Matt - still looking to buy you guys lunch sometime soon. Just let me know when's a good time, and Marky Mark and I will hook-up with you all. Very impressive stats! Absolutely astounding! A great testament to a lot of hard work on your part and frenzied, overachieving compulsion on ours!

That's great news, Matt.  It was interesting to read what the top referring sites were.

80 hours/week?  You're going to burn out!!!

Matt, that's great data. Your baby is taking off like a guided missile. Well done!

Very good news Matt.  Thank you for the update.

There is nothing I love more than reviewing positive web traffic activity on ga-agent.com...Most of my referrals are also from search engines, but guess who's #2?

ActiveRain baby :)

• THE CONSUMERS ARE COMING!
• THE CONSUMERS ARE COMING!
• THE CONSUMERS ARE COMING!

Time to welcome them with open arms. Oh! Yes! SVW.

It is also time for Matt to stock up on Red Bull. :)

TLW...ROAR!

Bingo. Cool. :) That's a very good sign. I just rolled the PASSION. :)

The stat about the customers staying 30 mins or more is the interesting one to me.

That's pretty sticky. 

The "Google, Yahoo, MSN" stats are about what Homefinders.com gets over time. 

This growth is amazing.  Congratulation and "job well done".

Lenn 

Impressive, most impressive........

You are strong, just as the Emperor told me......

=-D

[    ad libbed Star Wars character sentences by Me.......;-)    ]

I am sincerely grateful to be a part of it......... This has helped my real estate website in it's Google rankings BTW....

Everything has been great so far - and always improving.

Congrats!

So... what are the predictions for 12/31/2007?

Wow! those are great stats.  Thanks for sharing.  Just one more bit of proof that blogging matters.

Matt,

Wow!  And yet I'm not surprised....I get Google Alerts about Home Staging e-mailed to me and the majority of the information comes from AR! 

Thank you for creating such a wonderful 'tool' - not only does it help us to market, but the support and information that is shared here has helped me to grow, both as a business and a businessperson.

Matt,

I try to stay up on everything web and real estate related, but this one I had a question about:

Why does http://timothyclinerealty.com/ realty refer so many through their site here?

Good stuff.  Keep it up.

Wow...nearly exponential increases....

Thanks for sharing the numbers, Matt. Very impressive. Is there any info as to how many of these are members vs. not? We have alot of members but I wonder how many are really active. Just curious...

Wow... that is a lot of traffic.  I am curious if localism.com will get the same kind of traffic within its first 6 months of life.  Thanks for keeping us informed.

What great stats!  I'm sure that Localism.com will only boost that more!

I am getting alot of calls from prospects and other professionals this webiste is getting better by the day.

Wow - this is great news and getting greater every day!  Very happy to be part of the launch of localism.com!

Consumers are coming hurrah hurrah Consumers are coming hurrah hurrah - I anticipate a deluge from Active Rain and Localism!

Very Very Cool!!!

You did mean Jan 07 right???

Hi Matt

I recently signed up for Activerain, I would have to say it is a very user friendly website, with a great feed back as point system.

Thanks

Matt,

That's the best news I've heard all year!  Thanks for all that you do!!!

Excellent Matt, That is a very impressive chart.

Thank "You" Matt!  That's great news and we all totally appreciate your efforts!

Lisa & Bob

Matt - this is really great news and just what I suspected was bound to happen.  I know I've had the public visit my blog here on AR because of the comments I've found on some of them.  NICE JOB!!!!

Thanks for all you and others do!

Ann

I took at look at TimothyClineRealty.com  and have the same question as Craig Bartels... I understand Inman and Realtor.org but the volumen of referrals coming from this site confused me...???   Can you shed some light on that for us?

I also was curious like Craig was.

What's the story with www.timothyclinerealty.com ?  I didn't see a link any where on the site during my quick visit.  I also didn't see a link on www.Realtor.org

Thank you for providing such a good site.

Not sure about the TimothyClineRealty.com but it's showing high in our referral logs.  Realtor.org has written about us or mentioned us a couple times:

http://www.realtor.org/webintell.nsf/Featured?OpenView
http://www.realtor.org/rmomag.NSF/pages/AskMrInternet200701?OpenDocument

I've seen one or two other articles in the past but can't find those.

Awesome stats, the future looks great for this site and thank you for being here.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity Matt!

Now I'm wondering how many hits TimothyClineRealty.com  is going to get...

OBVIOUSLY WE ALREADY GET A LOT OF HITS,  THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

 Now maybe some of you will understand my gripe about 400 points for home page link.  Not all homepages are equal.

My personal web site has been rising up in the Google searches.  Matt, is this a side effect of AR?  Just curious.

That's pretty sticky. <<snip

I think they stay because there is something to READ here -- profound stuff along with fun stuff.  I am so impressed with the writing from busy people.  It is not all about points!  It is about thinking, challenging, taking time to write it the first time, then taking time to read it and add more.   Many times, THEY is us!

Holy Moly Matt!! The network is really starting to grow some ground (pun intended)! This network has become an asset for me and I'm many others!!

I LOVE ACTIVERAIN! You guys are the best for making all this possible!

Thanks Matt, what incredible growth.  It is a full blown storm.  And localism hasn't even begun.  The clouds are just forming.  Thanks for all your efforts.

I have been playing around with Localism.com and I like it.  Looks good!  The stats look great and something that you can write home to mom about.. Or heck - just bring it to Inman.

That is great news, Thanks for the update and great site

Maybe I'm overanalyzing, but I'm curious how long the 70% from search engines and other sites stay on the site versus the 30% who are returns/members. Are new visitors able to find their way around the site easily and find useful info, or are the visit times skewed by some who spend hours at a time reading and commenting?

John: I don't think I have a way to readily pull that stat from the webstats tool that we use, but I'll play around with it to see what I can come up with.

Matt Thank you for giving us a voice in the cyberworld! You are nothing short of Brillant! The stats are impressive and growing at an astonishing rate.  I for ine am grateful to be able to be a part of this wonderful forum! 

Matt,

Thanks for the post and giving us a snapshot of AR's traffic. The data is impressive, no doubt a great inducement for more participation on the part of Rainers!

Matt that is incredible, I know that a client of mine has checked out AR and now loves going onto that site.

Phyllis Pafumi

This is great information.  One, it shows that people don't just use "Google" these days though the term has been added to the dictionary.  Two is shows that even though most markets are down, people are still buying and selling and looking for help!

This Is great info Matt And please keep us informed with any more changes.

IMPRESSIVE!

Active rain sure is getting some good hits to the site, I hope localism gets the same attention

Thank you for the usefull info..It is nice to see the growth the network has and will continue to go through Hope to keep a close eye on the numbers..Thanks again...

Gary Urich

Absolutely mind boggling.....just hope that your servers don't go into overload!
