What's a click worth?

What's a click worth? If you don't have a system in place to capture clients, it's worth a little more than nothing. But if you have the bait to keep the potential customer on your web site or blog, using your tools, and searching for homes, maybe a lot.

What do I mean by a lot? I mean that in November I had 153 unique visitors to Nashvillerealestatelink.com (I was not happy with that number). 2 of those visitors (both strangers to me) closed on a home in December (I was very happy with that). 

Make sure that your web site has the ability to search the MLS and send the potential clients back to you. Your Blog posts should have search buttons also. Take every opportunity you can to capture potential buyers and sellers

According to Google, If you paid for your clicks for Nashville real estate, it would cost you an average of $2.01 per click for each new visitor. Capture 1 percent of these clicks, and you can make some serious money, but you can spend some serious cash also. Maybe as much as $400 per day on a click campaign.

I don't know about you, but my budget isn't ready for that. In the meantime, I'm going to continue writing blog post with effective keywords and good links to hopefully move my sites up to the front page of Google for  Nashville real estate.

One effective tool that google provides to estimate the cost of a click campaign for keywords is the Google Adword traffic estimator. It's very useful for all types of SEO planning.

Keller Williams Blog class number 3 update

Blog class number 3 at Keller Williams Franklin is in the books, and once again we didn't make it through everything I was hoping for. The energy of the class and the questions about technology usually sends us off on a different course that I had originally planned. My intention was to cover SEO, and why it's important for blogging. I believe we did a good enough job of that, and then we went through several of the blogs written by the class members. 

The biggest point i was trying to make is the call to action. The best use of a real estate blog is to draw people into your website to search for homes or real estate information.

We had a special guest today, and Micheal Thornton gave us some additional information that I had not talked about yet, but was very helpful. Windows Live Writer is the best editor we have found for blogging. It's free, and seems to have very few drawbacks.

We talked about pictures and the use of Picasa and youtube in Blogs.

Take a look at some of these blogs by new members.
