The California realtor association made a survey that shows that 90% of Agents are not providing what the consumer wants. Consumers number one consideration in choosing an Agent was its lowest commission and the last reason was the most knowledgeable.

The survey show s that most of the participants considered the Internet as a better source of information than the information provided by the agent. Despite 95% of the sellers still used an agent. Ray Logan Century 21 "Elite" says that "In the near future the Agent that properly utilizes technology will replace the Agent that doesn't use it."

The number of sellers choosing not to use an agent increased from 46% to 74% in only three years. On the other hand 84% of prospects start their search online and at the same time 96% Agents use print advertising.

Lizette Fitzpatrick - Broker-Realtor® Lizette.US - Kentucky Residential Homes says, "I have to laugh to myself when I see all the ones that still waste all their advertising money on Homes Magazine ads or newspapers.", it is very important to understand that the Internet is the most economical a sure way of advertising your listings. 

Only a little more than 50% of the Agents  are using multiple photos or a virtual tour as part of an online home listing, and most of the ones that use photographs not hire a professional photographer. The agents need to participate in doing a nice blogsite.

You need to understand that your possible prospects are following  your blog, seeing your page on FaceBook, etc. and observing the quality of your multi-media marketing solutions.

You cannot sell an overpriced property, and I will recommend to stop throwing your money in Newspaper advertisement. Price is the most important way to sell a listing. Price your listings correctly and you will have agents fighting like sharks over your listing.

For all you Internet marketing needs in Miami Dade and Florida counties contact Virtual Florida Tours at 305 331 8960 or at our web page at:www.virtualfloridaraltours.com. Servicing the cities of Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Hallandale, Fort Lauderdale.

Different authors are giving a lot of advice on what can be done in this tough market, from the use of email newsletters¹, to subscriptions and long tail phrases² to try to catch the traffic from the Internet to suggestion to customers ages 62 and over to use the special options available for this citizens to buy new houses before they sell their house³.

All of them make emphasis on the importance of quality service from the part of the realtors, and I will recommend that this has to be the case with any company whose main product is service.

Realtors are always concerned with their return on investment ROI and how you are going to measure your return on investment without carrying an appropriate statistics of how many leads you obtain from the different adds you place on the market.

If you decide to use a newspaper add or a magazine you are betting on 2% of the total number of subscriptions to that particular kind of advertisement product. It also reaches a limited area where that particular edition is distributed and has a life span between two days and a month.

On the other hand the National realtors association reports that more than 80% of prospects beginning their search on the Internet. So you need to associate with a marketing provider that can provide you with the highest level of presence in the Internet. From a virtual tour that can be reached from all over the world placed not only on the MLS and raltor.com but in another web page that has a rank of at least three. If you add to that a panorider with a webaddress associated with the business you are advertising the possibilities of getting your customers attention increase notably since you will be catching those customers that just pass in front of the house. Of course if you have an Internet marketing company that can also provide a full Internet syndication the possibilities of finding the right prospect for your listing increase notably.

The strategy of your web site traffic generation should not be left to search engine hits alone. You need to advertise your website to make it successful. Of course search engine hits definitely are important, but getting a page one search engine ranking takes some effort.

Placing some engine strings on a site will not make your page ranking to increase. The sites that come in page one have been around for some time, their traffic patterns are high, they have various external links pointing to them and they have very high content quality.

Your webpage  can come up with good content, and you can have your website age for a while. But most companies have difficulty with obtaining high traffic patterns and increasing the numbers of external links. This is what stops your  web sites from getting to page one.

The companies that offer local services get very little traffic from out of their area, and local traffic is simply not enough to obtain the links and traffic needed for a page one search engine ranking. Even with the best content the search engines are looking for information that a local company's site simply lacks. Therefore your solution as a small company owner is to advertise the traffic.

Your company's site was developed with certain market goals in mind. You wanted to educate your prospects as to which services you provide and why they should p[refer your services or products over your competition. So your website is an effort to become your sales force when you are not available to sell your products or services.

You can advertise your site in your own business cards, send mail outs, and use print advertising of your  company that includes information of your site. By doing this you are making it easier to your prospects to find you and increase your website traffic considerably. You can use your website and your campaign to capture email addresses offering a monthly web magazine from your web site. Then you can establish a flow up through email and this will help sell your products or services even more.

For more information on how to increase your SEO please contact Virtual Florida Tours at 305 331 8960 and we will gladly help you increase your website ranking. We also offer virtual tour services for properties and business in the areas of Miami Dade and Broward counties, covering the cities of Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Pine Crest, Hallandale and Fort Lauderdale.
