Active Rain Stats - What is your 2007 total?

[Dallas Broker]

Curious to know what year end stats are for other Active Rain users.

I ended up at 8021 visitors +-100 for 2007

I also only posted app. 1 entry every 2 weeks.

Is that 8021 total referrals TO your website FROM Active Rain? Or is that just what you stats read at Active Rain.

that is total referrals to buyandselldallas.com from activerain taken from site statistics

1,970 total referred visits from Active Rain, I don't post every 2 weeks, in fact I don't post at all any more, I spent a long time promoting AR to everyone, and I ended up looking into their stats (What they report there) and realizing they were grossly inflated, which upset me a bit I must say: You can read about the stats thing here http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...rey/3613/show/

I see what you mean, seems very misleading on activerain's part. I have yet to check out stats on activerain and won't bother at this point after reading your blog. Only reason I post is bec. they tend to rank good on specific keywords in google and yahoo and helps fill in gaps which brings a little more specific targeted traffic to site

Ex. Dallas New Home Incentives - yahoo i have 4/10 positions with activerain blog in position 6

Dallas New Home Inventives - Google I have 5/10 positions with activerain in position 7

For the time I put into earning "points" in 2007 I wish I would of been earning dollars.

I saw little referral traffic to my sites from AR.

I don't really pay attention to points either, I just watch SERPS and check stats on my website every once in awhile to see if AR has increased. Can't say AR is worthless by any means, I just sent a referral to one of my agents yesterday from out of state agent who needed help placing her brother in Mckinney.

I certainly agree, that for long tail targeting, it is effective - but so are so many other sites, that aren't going to attempt to sell your information to realtor.com

They track views the same way rcom does.
