Are You Reaching Potential Buyers?
If you are a real estate agent or agency do a search on Google, Yahoo and MSN to see where your website is ranked. In determining whether or not you are reaching these potential customers (after all, they are searching for exactly what you offer) remember that if you aren't near the top, you probably are not getting much benefit out of your website. Most people scroll through the first few pages and do not go further. So if your site is listed on the sixth page of the search " vermont real estate" then you are not likely to get the attention of those who search for that phrase.
