Google is by no means the only game in town, and there are lots of other lower-cost clicks out there for the taking.

Granted, I am always going to work on my natural search engine optimization, because I think, over time, the cost per lead will be less than those generated on a PPC basis, but you have to like the fact that PPC allows you to get traffic *today* and *now*.

When the costs per click is high, one has to worry that the curious webmasters and non qualified buyers are making up the highest percentage of those clicking the ads. When the rates get high the total cost per campaign starts to get to the point where other types of commercial advertising may be more cost effective. marketing through click advertising is an ever changing thing as well, so it is a constant time consuming learning process email to qualified opt in potential customers sounds better I’ve had bad luck with pay for click advertising.

Contact with prospects is very important especially with the Internet user - real estate agents need to have a better understanding of the Internet empowered consumer.

I think it is one of those indispensable tools every real estate agents has to have. But yet again, not every real estate agent owns it's own website. That is the reason crooks like ePerks continue to take advantage of real estate agents. Thanks for stopping by. I always appreciate your input! Glen,

Recently, I discovered that a service I use for keeping people updated on new listings had incorrect statistics stating the number of opened e-mails. By using Constant Contact - I got a much higher number of opened e-mails. It gives one a great handle on the effectiveness of a campaign. I truly wonder if real estate agents track this information about the success of their drip e-mail campaigns and if they realize that the stat's maybe incorrect.

The other thing to consider is that the side and top ads receive about a quarter of the traffic that the natural results do. Organic rankings are still king.
