Thread: Realtors: Are you using technology to increase your sales?

Technology is here and it's not going anywhere... So if your not using technology to increase sales and drive more traffic to your websites.. You might want to start thinking about it.

One way you can drive traffic to your website and increase your exposure is by submitting your properties to websites such as Home-Flip, oodle, Trulia, etc. I know what your thinking. I don't have time to list each property manually... And I definitely don't have enough time to do it on multiple sites...

Well my solution for this is by using a Data Feed.

Have you ever heard of a data feed? If not, a Data feed is a mechanism for users to receive updated data from data sources. It is commonly used by real-time applications in point-to-point settings as well as on the world-wide web.

What this means to you: A data Feed allows you to upload multiple items at a time to websites. While users with a small number of items may find it easier to post each item individually, feeds give you the ability to quickly create or update many items using a single file. In addition, you can submit any type of content. From Real Estate listings to movie reviews, feeds are an easy way to share your information with the world.

At Home-Flip we allow our users to upload their listings via Data Feed. And is in turn syndicated with more than 40 different classified sites. Many of our users found that automating this process has given them opportunities they wouldn't normally of had.



How many of you have a data feed?

Do you feel that it has increased your websites traffic? Maybe even your income?
