    Default LEC 6 - Finally Up - Huge improvements in Bounce Rate &

    I just launched my LEC 6 on www.JustinHavre.com replacing a custom LEC 4. I am pretty sure we have most of the bugs out but we are still doing a little tweaking on the site. Let me know what you think

    So far I am pretty impressed with the performance of the LEC 6. We have seen a bit of a drop in traffic since we launched it last week but it is slowly coming back. IDX Registrations are up immensely - getting almost 3x more registrations.

    After one week bounce rate is down to 25% where is was 48% the previous 30 days with the LEC 4. Now the LEC 4 on this domain did get very high traffic and I probably should have paid more attention to the bounce rate as it was very high. On my other LEC 4 www.CalgaryRealEstateBroker.com it is sitting at 29% bounce rate.

    New site looks great Justin. I'm a big fan of the look and feel of LEC6. That bounce rate is pretty impressive!

    I agree. It looks great. 25% is out of this world. It probably will trend a little higher than that, but even at 30% you have achieved your goal.

    That is a very low rate and I do hope it stays down there. I will report in about 30 days to see where the #'s are.

    Justin, great looking site. I have a question. When I view a listing, I get prompted to register. If I don't want to register, I can't close this prompt. I have to click on the Back button to get out of the page. I wish there was a "Close" button or an "X" that I can click and go back to a previous page or get some kind of message that unless I register, I can't view listings. Just something a little more user friendly. Was this done on purpose to force more registrations?

    Overall, fantastic site!

    I can answer that - we actually have both settings in the REW IDX builder "forced registration" or optional registration" - we set it to forced for our SEO customers as we find it has the highest volume of leads, but it is something a customer can play with themselves to see what works best (you can also force it after x views etc as well)
    Starting LEC 7 soon but it won't be called LEC 7 - LEC 2012 coming soon!

    I like the site, looks good.

    One thing I did notice is that your use of the term Justin Havre on the homepage is pretty limited. Although this may work well as it helps boost your other key word terms. The downside of this is that a google search for "Jusin Havre and associates" comes up with links for about 6 of your pages, but none of them are your homepage.

    I often find that a large number of my good traffic is coming from people searching my company name, after they see my office, or physical advertising. It is unlikely to cause any issues but might be one to note when you are looking at your google stats to see where traffic is landing. It is likely it will land on your Agents or About us page rather than your homepage, when they search your name.

    Otherwise I like it, clean and simple. I also like how the first top section loads pretty quick and then the content rich section below appears after. You get a good content rich page without the load time.

    Simon.
