As my close followers know...I study my website hits constantly. Oh, I am ridiculously addicted to wanting 
to know who's looking at what page and how they're finding my site, what keywords they're using, which search engines, and how long they're surfing around. I think it is so interesting. It also helps me understand what's on prospective buyers' minds.
What's even more interesting is the bits of information I've been able to pick up along the road. I have a few people I know who are watching the market closely, and I can tell when they've been checking stuff out because they've told me where they live, and I'll either see the hit from that city or sometimes I can tell by the fact that they use the same keyword over and over again.
Then there are those people I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, but again, they give me a tiny bit of information or frequent my site often enough for me to see the trend.
Lately, I've noticed a lot of personal search terms are being used. When I mean personal, I mean specific terms used that tell me that they are not only looking for Naples real estate but also for me.
It's not that hard. Here's a list:
- Shannon Lefevre
- Shannon Lefevre Naples Condos
- Lefevre Naples
- Pelican Marsh Smart Girl... whoever came up with that one was BRILLIANT...I LOVE IT!
- Shannon Lefevre Blog...isn't that cool???
- Smart Girl Naples
I can't help but smile wide when I see terms like those...it's almost like a pat on the back...or a hey, you're doing a good job.
Anyway, I've noticed lately that when a few of those people type those kinds of search terms in, they're not staying very long. Sometimes 20 seconds or less.... :(
HEY! What's going on here? 
- Did you get busy?
- Sidetracked?
- Bored?
- Tired?
- Did your power go out?
What happened? Don't you like me more than that...am I not supplying you with the Naples, Florida, information you came for???
or
Are you just checking in to see if I'm still in the business?
Well....dang it, I AM still in the business, and if you're going to go through all of the trouble to pull up my Naples, Florida real estate website, you might as well hang out for a while and check out some homes, or I don't know read up on some community information. Those extra pages you look at sure bring a smile to my face. It makes me think there are people out there who still want Naples, even though this is the time of year when Naples isn't at the top of many people's lists of things they probably think about. So show some love! Show me those page views! :)
Oh, and if by chance you're not seeing what you want to see, hey...just let me know. I've been known to add stuff to my site within minutes of requests, and sometimes it's the only way I know you're looking for whatever it is you're looking for.
And for the rest of you who are checking out my site and allowing me to assist you with your Naples real estate, THANK YOU! Because of you, I can keep making improvements to it!
Best Regards,
Your Naples Smart Girl!
