Pop Quiz! How do you compare to your peers?

Quizzes. I remember the good ol' days when a soda pop cost a nickel and the thought of taking a quiz was most unwelcome. Now? Now a soda pop hovers somewhere around $2 and quizzes are everywhere. And heck, people like quizzes almost as much as they like soda pop! What's going on?!

It seems that Internet surfers are hooked on quizzes. IQ quizzes. Personality quizzes. Career quizzes. “Which superhero are you?” quizzes. Impossible quizzes. Love quizzes. Music quizzes. Sports quizzes. All sorts of quizzes!

Why are people hooked on quizzes? No, that's not a quiz, just a rhetorical question. There are a ton of reasons why someone might want to take a quiz, but what's important is that people DO like taking online quizzes. Sometimes they even seek them out. And you can take advantage of that.

Offering a real estate related quiz on your site is a great way to attract visitors and get them to interact with your site. Think of a quiz as an icebreaker. The more time a visitor spends on your site, likes the content they find, and interacts with it, the more likely they are to remember you and give you their contact information.

There are a ton of real estate quizzes out there. You can create your own quiz using a site like www.quibblo.com or you can find quiz widgets from sites like Zillow. I have to admit, I'm a fan of Zillow's "What Kind of Neighbor Are You?" quiz. (I'm an enforcer!) It's fun, it's short, and it's relevant to a real estate website visitor. Other quiz options include mortgage IQs, green real estate IQs, home values, and the list goes on.

Just make sure that you can add HTML code to your website or blog. If you can't, think about taking a free test drive of an ELITE Website. You can easily add widgets and any other HTML code you want!
