    Hi All! As always, we appreciate everyone’s valuable feedback and I hope that readers of this post go to Trulia Blog to read our full response. If you were to do an in depth comparison between Trulia and all the other real estate listings sites, you would see how the rest of the industry compares. Having done so ourselves, we are confident that we provide our partners with a tremendous amount of value. For example, Realtor.com, Craigslist, Yahoo Real Estate, Dothomes, etc have nofollows on all links. Make no mistake, we value all our personal relationships with all our partners, talk to them often, and go out of our way to provide them with a superior experience. From our testing, we found that individual listing pages have 0-1 pagerank at the most which means that if we changed our linking structure, the results would be negligible to our partners sites. But, individual agents can create free detailed profiles on Trulia. By doing so, agents are creating a frequently updated page with valuable content that search engines like google love. We have seen some agents profile pages rank as high 4-5, much higher than any individual listing page ever can. We believe this is quite valuable to an agent. In addition, we give the agent the choice to decide which links they want to insert on their profile which means they get to choose which website, blog or listing they would like to send the link juice to. Transparency is important to us. Conversations like this from the community help us grow as a company. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us. Regards, Rudy Social Media Guru at Trulia.com
