I think your prediction will come true.

Is NARPM raising sponsorship prices? I wonder why?

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.

I will make it a full time gig once both my girls are in school. I am having too much fun with them right now being a stay-at-home dad two days a week.

That is what you call “marketing” Craigslist.org is one of the largest vertical websites in the world! Why would anyone not want to post ads on there website?

And Yes, My website will dynamically list my database of listings to oodle,vast,google base,hotpads…And that is only to mention a few.
And the greatest part about that is…I don’t charge my customers “extra” like some websites do!

At the end of the day….Here are my numbers in traffic percent:
70% Google search (I rock in search engines, Just in case you did not already know that)
20% Yahoo, Msn search
And the last 20% of traffic to my website is from….drum roll….
Craigslist, and the others I listed above.

So as you can see a large portion of my traffic comes from Google. The #1 search engine in the world! It has taken me years to take the spots I have in google. As a matter of fact I will even take that statement one step further.

I drive more traffic from google and craigslist and the others I listed above more than “any” other website in my market.

So, Anyone in my “regional” market that runs a business model like mine would be a blind fool not to post 20,30,40 ads a week to craigslist.

You should see the look on my property managers face when I tell them. “No problem, You don’t have to sit in your office and post ads to craigslist anymore, We do it for you”

That is what you call “closing the sale” Why do you think 90% of my customers use to list with “other” websites but now only use me for advertising there homes?

I will tell you…..Because I know how to drive targeted renters to my website…I don’t pay bloggers to write a post about my website, I don’t use “backdoor” pages in search, I use “nofollow” tags on craigslist, I don’t “buy” backlinks to my website, I don’t fool search engines with subdomains, I use what you call good marketing skills and ethical search engine tactics so my site ranks well in search.

Oh, I forgot to mention the HUGE word of mouth my company gets in my market. About 25-35 searches a day for the term “first coast rental ads”

That means people have heard about my company from other “renters”

Any questions?

Happy New year!
