I have posted several updated on my latest word press real estate site, recently I added the code for Google analytic which was a total of five minutes, but the amount of information is priceless. This is a minor but huge advantage to having control over your site.
It was January 20th that I added the code, what was interesting is from Google webmaster you can see how Google see your site and how your terms are ranking, with Google Analytic you can see all traffic as well as Pay for click, In total I had 554 visitors , with a 46% bounce rate. Other interesting stats are
- 86 percent Unique visitors
- 5 Minute and 19 seconds spend on the site
- 5.92 Pages per visit
- 111 Yahoo organic visitors
- 81 Bing organic visitors
- 75 Google organic and 68 CPC or paid visitors
Based on this, I will have a site that will have over 1000 Visitors per month, which based on my other site should equal 10 leads per month, more then enough leads to average 1 sale per month and based on my growth I believe I will be over 2000 visitors per month by April 2011.
Based on 20 leads a Month, that would cost from $800 to over $1200 a month and if you had to pay for clicks target in real estate that would cost over $1000 and up to $2000 a month so it easy to see my what I am offering is such a value.
Now for Google Searches , I how have over 250 queries displaying in Google Webmaster tools, that is over 100 New terms in less then 2 weeks. Since this is a new site and the WWW is one huge place it will take several weeks or even months for all of Google servers to be updated and indexed correctly.
As Real Estate agents , we must look forward 2011 is here , web 2.0 is here, it time to update or better just add a WordPress site and you will see for yourself the benefits
