There’s been a poll in the left column on this blog for quite a while. The question related to the amount of business people are getting from their websites. The answers came out like this:
- 60% got Very Little or No Business from their website
- 30% got the Majority or Almost All of their business from their website
- 10% got about Half of their business from their website
Based on a suggestion from Jennifer Malok, who sells Kentucky Horse Farms, there’s a new poll in the left column right now. Jennifer thought it would be interesting to find out what people do to make their website turn into a lead generator. I thought that was a great idea.
So, if you have a real estate website, please take a few seconds to answer the poll. I wish there were a way to link the answers to the previous poll with the answers to this new one. I’d bet that most of the 60% who got little or no business from their website will, if they’re honest, have to choose the last alternative in the current poll.
But, even if we won’t be able to make that correlation, it will still be interesting to see where the most effort is spent on Internet Marketing. I tried to include as many possible responses as I could think of. If you notice a category that really should be included, let me know.

Thanks for the kind words!
If people are honest in their responses, I can’t wait to see the results. The distribution for persons getting business vs. not, should be quite similar to those that are working at it or not.
It takes a heck of a lot of effort to create interesting and useful information on your site – and to get it promoted out there.
Course, you would know nothing about that, right Kathleen? (just teasing ya a bit – this is one of my favorite places to come visit)

No problem, it was a good idea!
And, from even the early responses, it’s interesting to see where folks focus their energy and resources.
