Default Who Has The Most Closed Sales From Internet Leads?

I was curious to hear from everybody on how many sales were actually closed so far this year from their internet leads? From this we can see the websites that are actually converting the most leads and I think we can actually learn from other people.

While I appreciate the jest of your question as far as converting leads into sales, I think the more important question is how much have you made from your site this year? I'll start the answers with over $115,000.

I haven't made $115K ....but alot from the site. Also, its hard to quantify because many times times I get the listing because I show them my site and some of the things it can do.

Thanks Mark. The most successful tool on my site is that I require registrations for visitors to search for homes. I know that this can also generate a topic of discussion, but I find it works best for me.

The leads that came from the net, from some net lead gen source, mine or others, has been a whopping total of 2.5 transactions for about a total of about $73,000 this year.

Still working on ways to improve site performance( now have REW site and REW IDX) so that should start helping to get better organic placement and hopefully lower the cost to get them. The wave will be google as the general agents figure the print media isn't the place to spend money and PPC is. The cost will go up as they have to figure how to buy adwords and price will be the first thing they think of. So the the place for us to be is organic and some lesser amount of PPC, IMHO.

I agree with Susan. It is hard to measure exactly for me. I hardly lose a listing appointment as a result of my placement in search engines. I didn't get the appointment from my sites, but I got the listings because I have the tools to get my client's properties the most exposure. One of my plans is to track these buyer leads a little more closely starting now.

Susan and Darren let me ask a question, How many listing appointments have been generated from your site? By your participation in this forum and your obvious concern with your site there is no doubt in my mind that you would not lose a listing because of your site ranking. However, knowing that a listing appointment was obtained directly from your site makes it possible to track that portion of the income from the site.
