RISMEDIA, August 11, 2010—Are you looking for new ways to use the Internet to get more listings and homes sales? Here are four free and low-cost Internet marketing tips to help you genrate more leads and closed transactions from the Internet.
1. Pay-per-click Advertising in Google, Yahoo! and Bing
Pay-per-click advertising has gotten a bad rap over the years, not because it doesn’t work, but because a large majority of websites do a poor job capturing contact information. If you have a website that does a good job of capturing leads, then pay-per-click advertising in Google, Yahoo and MSN can start delivering leads and home sales immediately. Pay-per-click marketing works best when you target more than one area and spread your marketing budget over two or three different places. Google is an obvious first choice but Yahoo and Bing can also deliver some excellent results and sometimes the traffic is a little cheaper.
One of the most common and costly mistakes made by sellers is setting an unrealistically high asking price. Every seller wants to receive the highest closing price possible for their house, but losing sight of fair market value can have serious repercussions.
In some cases a lack of objectivity results in overpricing the home, other sellers may subscribe to the theory that pricing high initially leaves room to negotiate lower later. Overpricing from the outset could actually force you to end up settling for a lower price than you would have received by setting a realistic asking price based on market research.
Tweeting your listings? Does that sound right?
Well, there is a a service called TweetLister that allows you to do so! Imagine your listings exposed 20 million Twitter users. Sound right?
Here is another tool that let's Realtors leverage on Craigslist.
Have a look and see if it would work for you.

So, now you have a Facebook fan page, but somehow, you're wishing there is way to add or create a custom tab in your page.. We'll the good news is, there is a way!
I found a cool Facebook application called Static FBML. It allows you to create a custom page with a custom content. Now, how great is that? Ready to try it out?
In a previous post, we tackled about how you can post your NAR listings to Facebook. But it's just one of the things that you can do to get your business profile in Facebook up and running!
I found an article that cites 6 Facebook applications that will really be useful for real estate agents. I got excited to share this to you all! I think this is a great idea to try for all of us!
So here is the list!
Display your listings from REALTOR.com® on your Facebook wall! If you are a real estate agent, your listings are already displayed on REALTOR.com® for FREE.

Isn't it neat? Now why don't you try it!
For now, it's just available for your profile page, but I checked their facebook fan page and looks like the application will be available for fan/business page next week!
I recently stumbled upon a blog called Mr Internet, Michael Russer - Online Dominance. In it are a lot of tips, techniques, and secrets on how one can fully utilize the internet for business, among others. I will be featuring some of his posts here as I know that it would definitely help Realtors like us grow and expand our business.
So for a start, let's talking abuot Facebook. I know everyone has a Facebook account, but do you know that you can use it to help you improve your search rankings, as well as in lead generation?
Do you have a Facebook fan page? If not, then I suggest making one. But how does a profile page differ from a fan page? Mr Internet explains this:
Personal Profile vs. Fan Page
There are two primary ways you can represent yourself on FaceBook:
Personal Profile – everyone who has a FaceBook account has a profile page. This is your “home base” for all your friends and family to connect with you in a personal way on personal (i.e. not business) matters. While how you grow and manage your “friend base” is a topic for another post, suffice it to say it doesn’t even come close to helping your business as the next way.
Fan Page – sometimes also referred to as your business page. This is where you try to attract and interact with people who are part of your target market or at least connected to it in some way. Now this next part is very important: The more targeted fans you have, the more Google will see you as being relevant and important in your field of real estate expertise. And this translates to significant gains for your search engine rankings. For example, Douglas Newby is essentially a one-man shop in Dallas, yet his site consistently out-ranks those of companies in his area with 1,000 or more agents.
So now how do you make this fan page work??
Here is the link to Mr Internet's blog post titled "Explode Your Facebook Fan Page Base For no Cost" and learn the secret. Goodluck!

Lately, as national home values have continued to rise, area homeowners have had reason to feel a lot more comfortable with the part of their portfolio that local home values represent. You didn’t have to be thinking of buying or selling to welcome the turnaround.
