DOES YOUR WEBSITE STINK?

Take our survey to see if you need an emergency evacuation plan for your real estate website.

Stench Test

Take our survey to see if you need an emergency evacuation plan for your real estate website.


Was your website custom designed by Web 2.0 graphic artists to have a ‘fresh’  modern look that sets it apart from stale template sites? 

Does your site generate more than 10,000 hits per day and can it be found on major search engines? 

Can you easily add new content and categories through a self-managed blog system? 

Does your site feature your listings while offering unlimited MLS searches to visitors? 

Do you give visitors a reason to come back with high-end tools like podcasts, v-casts, virtual tours, listing alerts, daily mortgage rates and calculators?
 
Does your site automatically build fresh content from Zillow™, Yahoo!® Maps/Neighborhood, local news, weather, sports and an interactive award winning Web 2.0 mashup?  

Does your web company offer ‘Blog for You’ services where professional Real Estate writers blog for you when you dont have the time? 

Can your site generate quality leads with CMA, Open House and Newsletter modules? 

Does your site use high-end marketing services like email, RSS syndication and newsletter marketing to keep you in touch with visitors? 

Can it automatically market itself to social networks and search engines through ping services and Search Engine Optimization

Does your site make you money with an Amazon® affiliate shop and AdSense® ? 

Can you track your traffic, lead generation and visitors through an easy to manage reporting tool? 

Is your web company offering online help and live support? 

Calculate the stench rating for your real estate website?

0-2: milk 2 weeks past its expiration date

Hahahaha!!! I think I am a "3 day old baby diaper"!

I laugh...but the answers that were no's just went on my to-do list for gearing up for '07.

Good Work :)

I WISH I had 10,000 hits/day. I agree with all except the adsense. This blog was featured in an article showing how adsense can be a bad thing. I'll try to find it and post a link. Funny stuff. It had a very strange ad, unrelated to real estate.

I saw that article and found it extremely funny and completely unresearched. Many of the most popular blogs out there run AdSense and have success with it, as RSS Pieces does.  Within the first 3 months of running AdSense, we reached a respectable $600/mo off the service and those numbers have only continued to grow.  I wouldn't remove it based on one unresearched article. 


Theories abound that sites that run AdSense (with some authority- meaning a respectable # of backlinks) do better in the search engine results than sites that don't.  Just take that site with the article and this site and search for "real estate blog."  We are a newer site that comes up higher in the SERPs than that site.  For a well respected blogger's take on AdSense, read ProBlogger.
