It's been 1 month since our LEC went live

Great job keeping the records. Are you comparing the LEC against a template REW site?

Yes.

Now that the busy season is just about over, I have to go back to last years numbers and compare.

I'll probably run those numbers in a few weeks.

Kevin, that's with 99% organic search. We have a PPC ad, but it's minimal, about $1 per day LOL

Dang Jessie - don't be such a spendthrift - my G budget is $0.00.

I have been up with my custom since April 1 2008 and the bounce for the entire period to date is 58%.

The only number I see dropping is percent new visitors and I can attribute that to the great success of the Mitch Riback follow up plan and the huge number of new listing notifications we have going out. So that drop is not a negative thing.

I have a LEC4 going live in about a month, we'll compare notes.

Be sure to go into G analytics and look for the "Benchmark" reports. You will see just how awesome you are performing compared to industry peers.

Sorry, I mistyped on bounce rate. It is actually only 37.91 percent.

58% is what the % new visits has declined to (remember, on the first day that number is 100% new vists - like Morgan was pointing out the decline in that number is actually good).

LOL Cal, I have the $1 for a reason

Which url is getting the new lec4?

We still need to do lunch

Which url is getting the new lec4?

It will be for the GA site.
I'll be giving you a call for lunch in Destin hopefully later this fall. Maybe Wayne Long can drive down and join us.

Sounds like you are getting great results from the REW site! When we got our REW site the bounce rate went down to 30%, which continues the same till this day.

Jessie, any update as to how those numbers are holding up after close to a year since being launched?

[jessiesc]

MauiRealtor,

I've not calculated the statistics lately, but have been monitoring the bounce rate closely which stabilized very quickly and is still representative of the original post.

Also, due to the economic climate I'm not sure the numbers would reflect accuracy as to the sites performance.

I will say however, the LEC was a good investment and I'm looking forward to getting another for our other business.

Thanks for the update, Jessie. I look forward to getting an LEC by the end of the year and it seems like a very worthwhile investment.
