Subject: United Country Sets All Time New Records for Web Traffic in October and September
Entire United Country Family -
I wanted to share some news that you can utilize in your local efforts to secure listings and recruit the best agents...
As most of you know, earlier this year, United Country deployed a number of advanced SEO strategies (that will remain confidential to the outside market) that have dramatically increased our "footprint" on the web. These efforts are now fully implemented and are driving record results.
We (all of us) set new, all time record performance benchmarks for web site traffic with new records in visitors for the months of September and October...even exceeding traffic results achieved at the peak of the market for those months.
Our traffic for the full portfolio of UC Home Office web sites is nearing 3 million visitors a month and more importantly 125 MILLION page views and 300 MILLION hits.
Our strategy is resulting in a more targeted and localized traffic with more visitors, page views and hits coming on the localized and property type web sites. Our primary home page is also seeing strong performance with just under a million visitors to that site alone (we are pushing visitors to the local web sites so this number intentionally will be flat for the foreseeable future).
We are posting updated web traffic collateral for your use locally on the web site with a new format to capture the full view into our traffic.
WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE WEB SITE FOR NON-URBAN REAL ESTATE IN NORTH AMERICA! Others claim it but in their defense, they are not aware of all of our nearly 1,000 sites and the traffic those sites drive. Either way, we are not in the pay to play lead aggregation business. We do all of this for no additional fee as part of your affiliation with UC. Only UC Offices, Agents and Clients can access the UC portfolio of sites. This is competitive advantage for you.
