In reference to the Gary Ashton's Page Views graphic, do you still have access to that Google Analytics account? I am interested in the increase in Search Traffic specifically, as well as the jump in Landing Page count before and after the changeover. The page view jump is impressive, but really I'm curious about the search engine data specifically. Thanks! An interesting topic!

I am fully aware that framed pages will not get you as much traffic from the search engines, but was not aware that they would affect the number of pages viewed once the visitor arrived. Hell unless you know where to look there is no way to tell a framed page from a nonframed page...  but of course they won't index as well as google knows its not your content on the page.  But the visitior normally does not know that. whereas before when he had an iframed solution, people were only visiting about 2 pages on the site.

The developer's search interface isn't as pretty or as customizable as Real Estate Webmasters, but the cost is quite low in comparison to REW and all the same SEO benefits are included.

We (Realtors) that own our own business were hats of many trades when we open up the doors to our clients. I think companies like Zillow and Trulia should not even be legal. As Realtors we need to have programmers stomp these national companies out that are charging Realtors for advertising next to data that is not even as good as a direct MLS feed which a Realtor can pay a developer to run. These companies (Zillow and Trulia) should not be able to beat a local experts. Half their customer support cannot even pronounce the cities in my market but they are on the first page of Google. Lets take them out! As for REW or WordPress Plug in, I tried to go the WordPress route and ended up paying for a hosting account for a year to find out that Diverse Solutions will not serve my MLS board. Then I called REW and I am getting ready to work with them. Also, please keep in mind that I would rather pay somebody to get me good results with a proven formula rather that compete against a tried and true method! There are a lot of WordPress companies popping up butit all comes back to results!
