Real Estate Forums

Laid Back Chat We are all friends here and sometimes we just want to chat. It doesn't have to be real estate web development all the time, some times we have a new baby in the family, sometimes we have a beef or boquet. Sit back and relax here.

i had to end the call short and was lucky enough to receive this enticing email following the call.

Yeah, they called me today, too. He told me they were working the REW client sites. When I told him my site ranked better than theirs on all my key terms, his only comeback was that they had good rankings "nationally"(like what good does that do for me?)

I get these calls quite a bit. The poor sales reps! They have no clue most of the time.

I did a search for daytona beach on their site I got 260 homes, I do the same search on your site, I get 1756 hmmmm I wonder which one the customer will appreciate more.

Also on their site, before they showed me anything they flashed me with an add for your competitor. NICE!

I get calls from time to time by companies that promise to improve my site traffic. The latest was from the yellow pages and they wanted to sell me a link to my site. I asked how it would help, last I check my site appears 1st for Cape Giraradeau Real Estate. The yellow pages was on the middle of the second page.

But I was nice, I offered to sell them a nice ad on my site in trade for a listing in the local yellow pages book. I have not heard a reply back on that offer.
