Does this take into account paid ad placement on sites like Zillow or is this simply referring to unpaid? I ask, because all things being equal, sites like Realtor.com, Zillow, Yahoo!, and Trulia rank higher than HomesDatabase in traffic and search.
Hi Chris, what a great question! The leads shown above are being tracked by the number of website visitors clicking on agent/broker phone numbers, email addresses and websites. This isn’t tracking individual advertising Agents purchase on Zillow, Trulia, Move.com, etc.
While the traffic on the national home search sites is larger, visitors on HomesDatabase.com are more qualified to purchase a home:
- HomesDatabase visitors is comprised of a more affluent group with 60% having a household income of $100K+, vs it’s competitors: Yahoo Real Estate sites 27%, Trulia 25%, Move 27%, MSN Real Estate 28% and AOL Real Estate 29%
- Visitors return to HomesDatabase 3x more than they return to the other home search sites
- HomesDatabase visitors are averaging 8 minutes a visit, compared to Yahoo! RE 4.5 minutes, Move, Inc. 3.5 minutes, Trulia 6.9 minutes, MSN RE 2 minutes, AOL RE 2.7 minutes
