When a visitor gets to your site, especially if s/he comes through the search engines, you have about a nanosecond to capture their interest.

But I've done *nothing* with it since a few days after launch. I mean absolutely nothing.Virtually all visits come from terms around "Phoenix MLS search" and 95% of those come from MSN / Live search. It is a nice complement to the main site as I get almost no traffic there from MSN.Stupidly, I didn't set up the IDX search to differentiate between the "minimal" site and the main site, so I can't tell how many searches there turn to prospects. In hindsight I should have set up a separate email and IDX page so I could have tracked that. But with 150sh a week, 600/month of visitors doing nothing but searching, I have to think some prospects have come from there.What's cool about it is there are search terms out there that will return the minimalist site, my main site and this blog all on Page 1. Owning 30% of page 1 can never hurt... Jim – traffic is low, only about 20 uniques a day. But I’ve done *nothing* with it since a few days after launch. I mean absolutely nothing.

Virtually all visits come from terms around “Phoenix MLS search” and 95% of those come from MSN / Live search. It is a nice complement to the main site as I get almost no traffic there from MSN.

What’s cool about it is there are search terms out there that will return the minimalist site, my main site and this blog all on Page 1. Owning 30% of page 1 can never hurt…
