With more real estate professionals turning their attention to online advertising, ListingDomains.com, innovator of the single listing website, announced a company record of over 1,000,000 website visits in June and July 2007. Properties Online's "ListingDomains.com" is the market leader for individual property websites. With the wealth of information the property sites offer, the typical Internet buyer stays on average 4 minutes and 56 seconds.

So what is driving traffic to these websites? Turns out, there are several ways to drive traffic. The websites come with a unique Domain Rider sign that funnels busy internet surfers directly to the property they are interested in. The sites are also syndicated to Google Base, Trulia and other top property portals. The agents and homeowners drive a lot of traffic simply by telling their colleagues, friends and family to check out their property website. With over 80% of homebuyers now using the Internet to search for a home, Amanda Cornelius, co-founder of Properties Online, LLC is projecting a bright future for the Northern California based company. "We are posed for rapid growth," says Amanda. "We have just undergone a major revamp of our servers, adding more redundancy and bandwidth as well as co-locating our servers to a new State-of-the-Art Data Center."

"Our listing websites are a phenomenal tool for real estate professionals seeking to edge out their competition," says Walter Cleveland of ListingDomains.com. "Each web site has it own custom property address domain name (e.g. www.555AnySt.com) that buyers can type directly into their browser and obtain vital information about the home listed for sale. What's more, sellers absolutely love having a complete web site devoted entirely to selling their home."

Properties Online, LLC holds a U.S. patent protecting their property domain name concept and program. "Because our product was developed by real estate agents and brokers, we were able to create a platform that is both user friendly and extremely effective at showcasing property listings for a fraction of the cost of print ads," continues Amanda, "We are just so pleased that sales associates have had so much success using our product."

Can your Real Estate website use a little sound?

Many homebuyers in today's online world are shopping from the comfort of their own home. As they visit your virtual open house, wouldn’t it be nice to greet them the same way you would had they come to your actual open house? A web site doesn't normally do this, but ListingDomain’s individual property websites can, and do. Their interface allows agents to record an audio tour of the property directly from their administration panel. All that is required is a microphone and a voice. Using audio on your website gives you the ability to guide your visitor through your site and point out all the important features of your listing. Not only are you getting personal with your prospects, you are also pointing them in the direction of your product.
A study conducted by DoubleClick found that by adding audio to your website, you can increase brand awareness by 10.1%, and data recall by 59.9%. You only have 30 seconds to capture a person's attention and adding audio to your on-line advertising significantly increases your chance of grabbing the attention of your audience. According to research by Hermann Ebbinghaus, people retain on average 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear and 50% of what they read and hear.
Audio is a powerful motivator and your voice can influence and persuade visitors to explore your website and therefore stay longer. Audio improves the “stickiness” of your website and creates a bond and rapport with your website visitor, which makes them feel more at ease with you and your offering. Also, it makes a great point of difference. No longer are you just another website amongst the hundreds or thousands that a prospective client may visit, but your website has a human dimension -  a voice - and this assists in making your website visitor feel comfortable and your website appear more professional and trustworthy.
At ListingDomains.com we love innovation and we are always looking for ways to improve our websites. Audio is just one of the many feature additions ListingDomains.com users have enjoyed lately.
