Have you ever wondered how much traffic the sites you use in your home builder marketing program really get?  Well stop wondering and research instead! Lots of sites make claims they can’t support. Lots of blogs and websites are built improperly and the search engines can’t even see them. Make sure to do your homework and check them out yourself.

Atlanta’s favorite real estate blog is proud to show off its data. As the top Atlanta new homes blog in the market this site shares real estate news, trends, incentives and more. Here is today’s Quantcast chart for Atlanta Real Estate Forum. As you can see the site has more than 24,000 unique visitors a month. This is a lot of traffic. Some of the site’s “competitors” receive less than 3,000 unique visitors a month. It is important to determine why you are using the sites you are using. If getting more traffic (especially reaching potential home buyers) to your website is key, a site like Atlanta Real Estate Forum is the way to go.

Every third party data collection site measures traffic a bit differently, so make sure to check all of your advertising sources in the same rank checkers.  Another good one is Alexa – http://www.alexa.com/ and a fun one where you can go to find out what your domain is worth is called DNScoop – http://www.dnscoop.com, so get the full scoop on the sites where you are spending money!
