How much traffic does your Real Estate website get?
Do you even have a website?
What percentage of visitors are opting in or calling you based on what they see on your site?
Any idea at all on the numbers there?
Are you even monitoring the number of visitors you get to your website?
For the past four years I have been using websites in my REI biz. This truly set me apart in the early days as most investors did not have a website for their properties. These days, it is less common for someone NOT to have a website and your customers expect it.
Regarding traffic, initially, I just went by what my internal website stats were telling me about visitors. While that was OK at the time, it did not tell me enough about WHERE the site visitors were coming from.
When I needed more information, I turned to using Google Analytics. This shows me how many visitors are coming directly to my site by typing it in or clicking a link in an e-mail, vs search engine visitors, and other sites they may find a link on. To be sure, there are a number of other programs you can use to monitor website traffic, however, start with Google Analytics. It’s free and pretty easy to setup.
Over the past couple of years I have been studying a great deal about Search Engine Optimization and Traffic generation techniques. Yes, that probably does make me a bit of a tech geek. I have a natural tendency to go in that direction though because my background has always been in IT work.
Recently, I have taken on a few clients locally to help them with their websites.
Here are some of the ways I may be able to help you.
1) If you have a website but need more traffic.
2) If you don’t have a website at all and just want something easy to call your own.
3) If you need help getting setup with an AutoResponder series to help retain visitors and keep them coming back to your site and eventually become customers.
4) Even if you just want to post your properties to a site to get them more exposure. The more sites you have your properties on the better. I have a couple of free sites you can post your properties to.
My personal consulting will be a limited opening though as I only have so many hours in the day. 
Also, if you just want some great Search Engine Optimization techniques, go grab this free interview on my other website.

You can do much of this work yourself, or you can hire it out. Be careful who you hire though and make sure they understand exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish.
Shoot me a message and let me know what you need help with.
