Big Question- How Much Traffic Comes From Other AR Members VS. Consumers

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Talk 2 Midori, LLC BK645709

Everyday I get something in my email or in my comment thread that ends up turning into a blog post. This is for those who are not convinced that Activerain is one of the best real estate marketing tools around...For you non-believers..... you may want to take note....

The big question:  How much traffic comes from other ActiveRain members vs. Consumers?  "Truthfully I can't answer that but I can show you a visual that might let you know that people around the globe read our blogs..and hey if Activerain went international I must have missed the memo!"

Here is a screenshot of my most recent map...from my favorite clustrmaps...if you want to know where your traffic is coming from...you might want to get your own....

It's simple...sign up for a map embed in your sidebar and watch as your visitors hit your site!  If you click the pic....you will see that traffic comes from all over. 

Now tell me....did I miss the memo?  Thank You to All of My Readers!

It is amazing where our visitors come from.  I just recently changed my map and I am starting all over tracking my visitors.  I am thinking about putting a map on my website too.

Midori, I have this also and I love to look at it and see those little red dots growing! I does make you realize that we are being read on a global scale. Non-believers....no way!

Cluster maps have always made me nervous for some reason, I would rather not see dots someplaces... geographically speaking.  I like lotsa dots centered in my market.  There is a Cluster map on my whosamungus widget.

Midori - I don't seem to be getting much traffic for some reason. Perhaps I need to revamp what I write about and gear it more to consumers, or just write better, more exciting and entertaining posts.

I've been using cluster maps for awhile and it is amazing where our traffic comes from.  Even better is when you see a dot on the map from an international location and then you get a contact email, not spam, from one of those spots!

You are right on target, ClustrMap is excellent tool for bloggers.
