Former real estate agent. Full time Internet Marketer.
I am fascinated to see how technology is changing real estate industry.
I blog at www.go-beyond-mls.com
As I mentioned before, Google Analytics is a great free tool that any one can use. In many other industries number of subscribers determines how popular and influential blogs are. In fact the price of some blogs where determined by factoring in the number of RSS and e-mail subscribers. I just recently wrote an article how I track "subscription" goals with Google Analytics on my own blog. I thought you may find it interesting: http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/track-feed-subscribers-with-google-analytics/ Vlad Zablotskyy
It is absolutely ridiculous that a company with with bulletproof product should worry about some blogger whose website receives less than 100 daily visitors. Most of these paid reviews where written by bloggers that even do not write about real estate related issues. When the debate on my blog at it's peak, I questioned several times why the company did not attempt to get attention of websites like Inman News. If Inman News had interviewed me, I am sure that would have been happy to cover the startup of what was acclaimed as multi million dollars project. What better exposure to the right audience could it be? You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that majority of about 5000 members here are real estate agents and brokers. As to comments by "phony people". There are many real estate agents who left links to their websites. Those are real people. But I can not blame those who did not leave their real names. As to their claim that I have authored all the comments, in order for me to accomplish that, I needed to be in more than 100 locations across of the United States in a span of days. They claim to have lost tens of thousands of dollars because of my stupid blog. Are you kidding me??? As Steve Taggart had pointed out, roughly 1 in 9 agents had any success with their system, that is where they are loosing tens of thousands of dollars.
I think the best way to keep track on your ROI is through Google Analytics... I think I had written about it on my blog... I have to dig it up.
