Here is the thing about websites.
Most people think because they put up a website that they will get traffic. We'll this is true, it's not the
traffic that you want. This would be equivalent to building a store in the middle of the desert. It doesn't
matter how big or beautiful it is, or what features it has, very few people will see it.
I'm going to give some website to promote your Real Estate business and if done right you should see a significant
flow of traffic.
This is VERY important! when promoting to these sites make sure to come up with a unique title. A good title will
get you lookers a great title will get you traffic. Read through the section you want to promote and do just the
opposite of what everyone else is doing. One of my best was
"Little pink houses can make you $$$". It had over 2800 page views in the first 2 days. If you can't come up
with a title, send me an email and I'll help you out.
Tracking - Tracking is important to see what is working and what is not. To accomplish this is pretty simple.
Just include a 1 x 1 pixel image with your ad linked to your site. (**note - you can only do this with sites
that have HTML submissions). Then you can look in your backend office Cpanel->AWStats to see how
many times that image has been viewed.
USFreeads - You can find it here www.usfreeads.com. This site won't get you a lot of traffic but it's good
for PR(Page Rank) with the search engines. You can check your on site here http://www.prchecker.info.
Backpage - This site is a hit & miss. I haven't figured out why but sometime it will get a lot of traffic
and sometimes none at all. Again post here it still good for you PR.
OODLE - Investors Classifieds is partnered with oodle.com and get daily traffic from them. If you post your
Wholesale properties with Investors Classifieds they will also show up on oodle along with 80+ other sites.
It shouldn't be a problem if you want to post again.
KIJIJI - Kind of new kid on the block that was bought out by Ebay. I haven't seen much if any changes to the
site since that happened. The down side to the site is you can only place text ads.
Highland Classifieds - Like Kijiji the free version offers limit posting to text and uploading of a photo. But like
they always say in Real Estate business "it only takes one buyer to sell a house".
Craigslist - This is the best for inbound traffic. Your ads will be seen by hundreds in a matter of hours. Again here is where
you want to stand out with your headline and be really different. Don't use the old "for sale 3/2 1500 sgft. It will be like
a penny on the ground everyone will just pass it by. You want to be the $100 bill on the ground! 9 of 10 will stop to pick
that up and 9 of 10 should stop to see your ad.
Always try to use flyers when posting ads. They look more professional and will attract more buyers. If you don't have a
flyer, you can create one with a click of the mouse at Investors Classifieds after you upload your property. Another option is
to search google for "real estate flyers" and it will give you a ton of options.
You may have been a little confused by the title and the content that was mentioned. I used the examples of posting properties
to give you ideas how to promote your website. You can apply these principals to any type of marketing for your website.
Best of Luck!
