I got an email from a client today (Julia Fishel from The Suncoast Partners in Palm Harbor) asking if she should add her listings to a site. Now I know that she is VERY proactive about marketing her listings and does the best for her clients, BUT how can you tell if she will actually get any traffic for the effort of adding her many listings?
The easiest way I have found is to go to www.alexa.com and check the traffic of the site. You can add real estate sites that you know get traffic (I used Trulia and Zillow but you could use MSN Real Estate, Yahoo Real Estate, Realtor.com or any other site that is known to have good traffic).
Now don't get me wrong, most sites do not generate enough traffic to even make a blip on the radar, BUT if I am going to enter all my listings onto ONE MORE site I want to know that it will get seen! Here are the results from my search:
Zillow had .06 per month as an average
Trulia had .04 per month as an average
classifiedflyerads.com barely registered
Based on the level of traffic this site gets, I would think that Julia could find other places to spend her valuable time and listings on that might get her more exposure!
