The metrics for conversion are becoming more reliable as more companies report their stats. We have processed over 10,000 leads through a call center that responded within 3 minutes and 4 times within 24 hours. The stats: For a real estate site registration, 10% indicate that they want to speak to an agent, are free to work with them and want to purchase withing 6 months. After that, the conversion rate runs between 10%-30% because of the quality of the agent, the ability of the consumer to qualify and find what they want that meets their criteria.

Yes, that is a provocative statement. I have had the constant feeling that my back is against the wall for the past 7 months now. At the present time I find myself losing ground again in the Google rankings battle, So I have turned for now to the only thing I know will help. Are there things I could be doing that I am not doing, I am sure there are, but some of them I may be in the dark about.

Good points, Eric.

All too often, people decide they want to do a blog because………….

EVERYONE ELSE IS.

And they figure they better give it a go. They don’t have a clear expectation or goal that they are wanting to achieve, so they end up with exactly what you’d expect: a half hearted attempt that really ends up going nowhere.

Developing a clear expectation/goal – and working with others to achieve the goal is really is what its about. Its as simple as that.

Is it a “silver bullet”? Nope. It takes work. But the payoffs can be HUGE.
