For Sale By Owner Homes

Wow!

We have had a pretty big week at LakePlace.com. LakePlace.com usually receives about 10,000 visitors (actual people) per day…this week we have been hovering in the 15,000-20,000 visitor per day (19,000+ visitors/day for the past 3 days!) mark and well over 100,000 page views per day.

Now if you are familiar with internet statistic packages, you will know that the numbers can vary quite a bit, depending on the program. The numbers we use are the lowest numbers of all the various statistical packages we have installed on our server. In other words, our actual server logs tell us that the numbers are much, much higher…but we feel it is in everyone’s best interests to go with the lower numbers (as reported by webalizer).

To put it into perspective - LakePlace.com, although specializing in one small niche of the real estate market, is the 2nd most visited real estate website in the two states we serve. That includes all of the “big” metro companys. Big Red’s corporate website has us beat by a pretty good margin, but…we gave them a 50 year head start on brand awareness, and we are gaining fast.

I remember the day LakePlace.com first hit 1,000 page views in a single 24 hour cycle. And I remember the first time we had more than 100 people visit our site in a single day. Those were exciting times for us - we knew we were on to something.

If you are reading this blog post, you have probably read the LakePlace.com about us page (which we should/will update). LakePlace.com was born out of necessity. When my business partner and I were looking for our own cabins - it was obvious that something like LakePlace.com was needed. Turns out, almost 20,000 people (per day and growing) agree!

Have a Great Weekend!

Im going to put the Whitefish Chain in the spotlight today and link you to the Whitefish Chain property page of LakePlace.com.  This is one of the most exclusive areas in Minnesota cabin country - with several properties at $3-$5M.  Why the high price tag? The Whitefish chain of lakes is beautiful - and not too bad of a drive from the Twin Cities…actually, just far enough.  Take a look around and be sure to browse all of the Crosslake,MN lakeshore properties as well.

You may have noticed these little icons on LakePlace.com. These icons (that we added today) allow visitors to save, bookmark & share any LakePlace.com page on del.icio.us, google bookmarks, yahoo myweb, or stumble upon.

My guess is that we will see some of our friends who run other real estate websites add these icons and options in the next week or two - we might even see some of the “big guys” add them in the coming weeks. I just wanted to call it before it happens.

It is always better to lead…always.

Anyway, if you haven’t used any of these services - you may want to give them (or at least one) a try…it is a great way to organize your bookmarks and you do not have to worry about which computer your favorites are saved on. If you try it, we think you’ll like it.

Happy Lake Home Hunting!
