Where
will the National
Realtor®
& Mortgage Broker
Registry Advertised?
Our Registry will advertised
on the Google Network (Google, MSN, Yahoo, Alta Vista) and other
search engines to increase site traffic. As traffic increases, your
listing will have the opportunity of being viewed by more potential
clients. Search results vary
with keywords, day of week, time of day, and various other criteria.
One of our sales reps can give
you more information about this, if desired.

Why
should I advertise on the National
Realtor®
& Mortgage
Broker Registry
in addition to other directories & search engines?
Registering your firm with the National
Realtor®
& Mortgage Broker Registry allows you to take advantage of our
online advertising and other marketing directed to people and companies
seeking the services of Realtors, Agents and Mortgage Brokers. Advertising
on our registry is not a replacement for other advertising you may
wish to conduct, just a sensible, supplemental, low cost investment
in attracting new business without having to pay monthly advertising
rates.
As you are aware, search engine advertising can be effective, and
the cost is determined by the number of people who actually "click"
on your listing. Advertising on other directories
can also assist you in developing new business, and our advice would
be to advertise anywhere that you can to increase business leads,
provided that the costs are not prohibitive. Some
directories charge flat rates, some charge monthly fees that can
exceed $150 a month. You can do the math to see
how many leads you have gotten as a result of this advertising,
and if it's worth the investment. The bottom line is
"keep doing what works".
As stated above, our Registry is advertised on the Google Network
(MSN, Yahoo, Alta Vista) and other search engines to increase site
traffic. As traffic increases, your listing will have the
opportunity of being viewed by more potential clients each year.
Additionally, "real estate agents"
are also welcome to post a listing on our site. This will enable
agents to generate new business.
Our future marketing programs, including
direct mailings to consumers, corporations, realtors, mortgage brokers
and others, will drive significant traffic to our National Realtor®
& Mortgage Broker Registry and promote return visitors, who
will be able to visit the site for purposes of accessing entertainment
and other content, and locating Realtors and Mortgage Brokers throughout
the USA and overseas.

How
many business leads do your project I'll receive each month by
advertising on the National
Realtor®
& Mortgage
Broker Registry?
The number of leads you will receive will
depend on various things, such as how many cities you are listed
in and/or whether or not you are listed in just one city, Statewide
or Countrywide. The more exposure you have, the more leads
you can potentially generate. The choice for broadening
your listing exposure is yours to make, and whatever you elect to
do, the cost is "fixed" and "low", as you can
see by the costs shown above. Also, keep in mind that
when site visitors review listings, they might tend to "select"
a company that has a web site detailing all services provided.
Thus, if you do not have a web site, it would be beneficial if you
would either have one created, or detail all services you provide
in the "Description" area of your listing, where you should
list information such as the length of time you have been in business,
all services you provide, and professional memberships. Other
factors that can contribute to the ultimate selection process can
be "how professional your web site is", so if it is "homespun"
you might want to consider investing a small amount of money to
have it upgraded.

Where
will my listing be positioned when a site visitor conducts a search
for a Realtor®,
Agent or Mortgage Broker in my city/region, state or country?
If there are numerous listings on a page when
a search is submitted, how can I be sure that someone will select
my listing to view?
When a visitor to the registry conducts a
search by "State, City, Country, Zip Code etc., a list of Realtors®,
Agents and/or Mortgage Brokers in the geographic search area appear.
In our database the search results include the display
of three distinct sections on the same listings page: Companies
and individuals who provide Statewide and/or Countrywide service,
Companies and individuals
who provide service limited to a specific city, and "Preferred
Companies and Individuals
(Agents)".
All of the listings in these sections "rotate" as the
number of listings in any geographic area increases to the point
where searching on added pages is necessary. This rotation
also applies to the "Preferred
Companies and Individuals
(Agents)" section, where all listings
have the opportunity of being displayed as visitors refresh the
page and as new visitors arrive at the page. This insures that all
listings will have good visibility during the 12 month listing period.
We recognize that many searches will result in numerous listings
appearing on a single page, but we ask you to keep this in mind....our
log files reveal that when a site visitor searches for a service
provider for a particular area, they do not simply click on ONE
listing....they click on many, and sometimes all of them. The reason
for this is that they came to the registry to find what they consider
to be a company or agent who is established, reliable, and who provide
the services required. They cannot determine this unless they
click on many listings and compare companies and agents.
IMPORTANT:
If you only register for a FREE listing in your own city,
or if you register for a listing in your own city plus a few other
cities in your state or foreign country (available by quote), be
aware that a majority of visitors to the site simply conduct a search
by choosing a State or Country, and very often they do not enter
a city. In this case, only the listings of those companies that
purchased a STATEWIDE listing at a rate of $75 (per year), or COUNTRYWIDE
LISTING would appear when the search was conducted, and companies
or individuals (Agents) that only paid for a listing in their own
city or additional cities, would not appear.
Thus, we recommend that if you
provide services in various different cities within your state or
country, you should register for a STATEWIDE OR COUNTRYWIDE LISTING
to insure that your listing appears whenever a search is conducted
by your State or Country.

How
can I increase my ability to generate more leads?
Simply stated, if your listing
appears only in a single city, region, state or country, you would
be wise to list yourself or your firm in additional cities, regions,
states or countries so that there are more opportunities for visitors
to view your listing and select your firm. The cost for
multiple listings is "low" and at a fixed "annual
cost", with no monthly fees to pay. If you
need help in making listing decisions, send us an email and we'll
be happy to discuss your goals and the nominal costs involved.
Back To Top
Why
we charge low "annual rates" instead of monthly fees?
We do not charge monthly fees for any type of listings,
as we recognize that the more listings that are added to a particular
city, state or country would tend to reduce the number of leads
that any Agent or Company might achieve.
By maintaining a low annual rate for
all listings, realtors, mortgage brokers and real estate agents
can develop leads at a very modest average cost per lead. For instance,
if you purchase a Basic Statewide Registration for $75 per year
and only received 20 leads during a 12 month period), your cost
per lead would only be $3.75 ($75 divided by 20 leads).
Naturally, if your listings are placed
in multiple Cities, States and/or Countries, the greater your potential
exposure and ability to generate more leads at a very low fixed
annual cost.
Back To Top
Why
is our annual rate so cheap?
Like all young projects, we would like to enroll a large number
of agents and brokers in a short period of time
and the best way to do this is to offer a very low price. In
the future, as the site becomes more popular through our advertising,
we will raise prices considerably...but at that time the investment
will be well worth it, as site users will incesae dramatically.
NOW is the time to get on board at a very low rate. This offer is
for a very limited period of time.
