Diverse Solutions IDXpress – The Results Are In!

April 29, 2010 By PREM 1 Comment

Above is the traffic for the lowest performing wordpress site that I am working with that the Diverse Solutions IDXpress was installed.

The result? Over 400% increase in traffic in one month. (One site had over 700% growth in one month!)

You can see the notation of when it was installed and that is when the traffic started picking up and up and up!

This plugin is great! Not only does it provide you a search widget for your site but it will also create a page for every listing in the area you specify. EXAMPLE: If the neighborhood “Rolling Hills” has 125 listings available – the plugin builds….125 pages for your site! That’s right – - – indexable content for the search engines.

There are many other functions offered that make your site more robust for a nominal monthly fee.

Call them to set yours up today!

Where Does Your Website Traffic Come From?

February 20, 2010 By PREM 1 Comment

Google may bring this business over 80% of their traffic today, but …

What if the next change Google algorithm update hits them hard?
What is going to happen to this business if their ability to rank well with Google goes away?
Does the majority of your traffic come from organic searches?
How much of your traffic is from a referral source?

Businesses today concentrate so much of their efforts based around Google that they sometimes forget about what the other source potential can be. Yes, Google is here and isn’t going away but take Google out of the picture…now what? What do you have?

Suggestions to drive referral traffic to your site:

Video marketing (TubeMogul, YouTube, etc.)
Emails and newsletters to your personal database (sphere of influence, past & current clients) – send them a short email with teaser links to your site or include a short video with links to items discussed in the video
Newsletters and other subscriber-based content to your list building database.
Blogging
Listing Syndication
Twitter
Real estate forums (ActiveRain Localism, Trulia and Zillow are some of the best)
Social networking (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
Local business locators with Google, Bing and Yahoo (let me know if you have questions to submit your business properly)
