Hittail- A Must Have Tool For Every Real Estate Website
January 10, 2008 
If you are a real estate agent or a webmaster working for on a real estate website, you are probably concerned with the traffic generating strategies. You maybe working hard on optimizing your pay per click campaigns as well as trying to bring visitors through natural search results from across search engines. You know how expensive pay per click campaign can become on Google if your landing pages are not optimized well. But you also may know that the traffic resulting from neutral results in the search engines is the best, not only because it’s free but because internet users seem to trust natural results more. You have probably used countless tools to analyze your traffic and its sources. But if you have not tried Hittail yet, it is probably time to give this service another look.
Hittail, developed by a team at Connors Communications, is a peace of software that analyzes the source of the traffic to your website as well as keywords used by the internet users to find your website. In the process Hittial filters out the keywords and offers your suggestions (keywords or key phrases) that if acted upon can bring your website to the top of the natural search results. You can also use the information provided by Hittail to improve your existing pay per click campaigns.
At this time Hittail offers two different membership levels: Basic and Plus. If you are not sure which plan suits you the best, I would recommend to subscribe to Free Basic plan first. This plan will allow you to track and analyze up to 100,000 visits per month. If you think your website receives more than 100,000 visitors a month or you would like to use other advanced feature available with paid plans, you can always update your account at the later time.
Hittail is probably one of the easiest to use solution out there. All you need to do after registering your website is to place one piece of javscript code on each page of your website or in the common file (preferably footer) of your website if the pages your website generated dynamically but every page uses this common file. This will save you time if you have a website with hundreds of pages. After you install the code your job is done (well almost- stay tuned to learn more) and the rest is done by Hittail.
I will be writing more article in the future to show you have you can use Hittail and other marketing tools such as PRWeb, to maximize your results. So please subscribe to this blog. For now I leave you with the following YouTube presentation by Mike Levin:

Erm… still requires money? The features work exactly the same as Google Analytics and Webmasters Tools. However, i think Google is far better because it allows us to set goals to track our landing page conversions, shows the query terms that your website appears in, search terms that get you visitors and much more. It is free and has no limits on the number of visitors. Isn’t it better? I don’t know, it is up to our friends here and i am just sharing. Cheerz

I really think you should introduce yourself first before leaving a comment with such a juicy anchor text.
I am not against people doing so, but they we first need to come to know each other by first name.
