Listingware

[jennsellsfast]

Listingware is the best. I will admit, there customer service is horrible, but the suite is amazing! I receive many leads a day!

[AgentServer]

Listingware?

Do you have a link to it? I went to your site and clicked on the "Featured Listings" section. Is that what you're talking about?

Thanks.

[jennsellsfast]

The website is www.listingware.com (http://www.listingware.com) It is my IDX. Go to the search for homes button on my website, or the map search on my city pages. Let them know I referred you! Good luck!

Hey Jen,

I just pulled it up it looks good, I've actually seen their IDX before. I just forgot about their name.

Your site would benefit a lot more if you had a custom mls solution.

I hope you don't mind, but I'd love to make another comment about your site :). It is "REALLY" hard to maneuver through the content you have.

You have a LOT of content and when it's displayed the way you have it, it's just really hard to find anything. I know that you probably don't have many options with AA's software but do look into some other solutions ;).

Take a look at one of the new sites we're doing for a client that has a tone of info.

dev.agentserver.net

It's nicely organized and not all over the place.

[jennsellsfast]

That site has very little content, no city pages, and almost no regional info. Websites must conform to their markets. Look at the top 50 sites in Atlanta, they all have similiar layouts as mine. The ones like yours dont rank well. And if my website wasnt generating 6-8 closings a month for my team & I, a change might have to be made. But since it is, I think I'll stick with what works! I like to make money!

Hey are you guys out of Mississaga? My husband was born there, but left when he was a kid. I bet it has changed a lot since he left. How is the weather there today!

[AgentServer]

Jenn,

We are in Mississauga, the weather is a little crappy today. We had a little rain in the AM

I'm sorry if this offends you in any way shape or form. But you have absolutely no clue about what it takes to rank well on the internet.

Now that I got that off my chest, why would you think that a site like dev.agentserver.net doesn't rank well?

Also, the owner of the site is still loading the site with information so there will be a lot more.

I wouldn't be telling you any of these if I didn't know what I'm talking about. Tell ya what, let me analyze your site (free) just to show you that your site's conversion can be improved by at least 50%.

Do you have any stats on your site? what kind of traffic do you have on it, also what are some of the search terms you're ranking well for?

I'll take a look at all of it, compare it to one of our high traffic sites and see what the difference in the conversion ratio is.

I just did some more research on your site :)

Your Domain Name: www.JennSellsFast.com (http://www.JennSellsFast.com)
Date Registered: 02-Aug-2005

Since Registration: It's been Over a Year

Number Of Pages Cached In Google: 15
Number Of Pages Cached In Yahoo: 54
Number Of Pages Cached in MSN: 156

Problems With Cached Pages:

Every single cached page on your website has the same Title. (Very UN-SEO)

MSN has a hard time picking up the title of most of your pages. It doesn't have a title for them at all.

Problem With AdvancedAccess

I'm sure you've heard of people saying framed websites are no good, they will not be cached. Part of that is true, Search Engines can and do cache framed pages but you make it that much harder for them to get information from your site as they do have problems with them.

That's not to say that you can't get a framed website to rank well. You can but it's harder then a regular non framed site.

Some Of Your Cached Pages
Take a look at where some of your cached pages take a user:

The perfect example of Search Engines Having problems with framed pages. They sometimes don't know which frame to cache.

Your Websites Pages
Take a quick look at your website URL's.
E.g: www.jennsellsfast.com/PageManager/Default.aspx/ (http://www.jennsellsfast.com/PageManager/Default.aspx/) PageID=1661737

Take a look at our solutions URL's.
E.g: http://dev.agentserver.net/cat-50-toronto.html

The difference between these two is that we actually place some keywords within our URL and also make it look static. While your URL has numbers in it.



The list of things above is just a few things I noticed on your website, I should actually do a report on why AA sites are no good. There are a some of their sites that do rank well, that's mostly because those sites are really old as AA has been around for a while.

[jennsellsfast]

LOL...that was a long response. I hope you werent thinking about this all day! My sites only been up for 4 months. I just got out of the sandbox.

[AgentServer]

The part about you saying "those kind of sites don't rank well" bothered me because these are the types of sites that actually do rank well :)

It actually took me only 20 minutes to put that together so don't worry, I didn't spend the whole day thinking about you.

[jennsellsfast]

Thanks so much for reminding me to do the titles. I have been meaning to do that for a while, and just forgot. I have a few #1 rankings on MSN. "Canton GA real estate" is one of them. It has been a huge money maker for me, due to that fact that is one of the fastest growing counties in GA. I have a lot of work to do on this site, like I said its brand new. How is the market in Toronto. Buyers? Sellers? Is it directly tied to the US market? or not at all? If this is your site, Its a nice one. I prefer it to Agents Online. Nicer people in here!

[AgentServer]

The market in Toronto is pretty good, it hasn't slowed down at all.

I'm actually not an agent, I'm the President/CEO of AdoSoft INC a software development company. We developed the AgentServer platform. That's why I'm defending it well that and also for the fact that it's a good product.

When a product is good, i'll go out of my way even for the competitors such as REW (RealEstateWebmasters.com), their product is amazing. The product that SiteTutor has is yet another good product. When I say good I actually mean SEO friendly.

[jennsellsfast]

About 6 months ago I was searching every city in and around atlanta. AA sites had a #1 ranking for almost every city on google & yahoo. I figured there SEO dept was pretty good. Do titles really matter with frame sites? Ive heard opinions from both sides. What do you think?

[AgentServer]

Those are the types of problems you will get into with framed sites. It will depend on which frame the title is set to. If the title is set to the initial page of the site then the se's will pick it up.

Try changing one of the titles and let me know which page you've changed it on. I'll check it out and let you know if it's worth changing them for all of your pages.

We just put out another design for our RE/MAX clients take a look at http://dev.agentserver.net one more. Give me your thoughts on that design.

I do have another question for ya, do you actually prefer having the type of design over the ones we're putting out?

[jennsellsfast]

I just changed a bunch of titles on my city pages. Let me know if it matters. Thanks. And yes I like your second design much better. It looks more proffessional.

[AgentServer]

If you browse through your website you'll notice that the title doesn't change.

The title of the content frame seems to change but it's not visible to the user.

[jennsellsfast]

yeah, you have to hit refresh!

[AgentServer]

The search engine will have to figure out which Title to pick off your page, since there are multiple titles it may pick up the right one and it may not.

Just one reason why framed solutions are not good.
