Website Traffic


We invest in one of America's premier networks for online listing management with respect to real estate and receive a monthly online marketing report from them. It gives us some pretty interesting data that hopefully helps us target buyers as well as trends. The tracking for this is done by GIS coding; a technology used to geographically locate online consumers. Interestingly the highest online traffic ranking by state is as follows:
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Illinois
Texas
Iowa
Colorado
Arizona
California
North Dakota (yes, my home state)
Florida

Far and away Wisconsin is number one and then Minnesota and Illinois are a close second. The North Dakota one kind of has me puzzled – me thinks my family must be checking out my web site a great deal and tracking my work – yikes. As the months roll along we intend to track this and see what changes there are if any.
Here’s the list in terms of City rankings:
Hayward (no surprise)
Minneapolis
Saint Paul
Bloomington, IL
Beloit
Eau Claire
Rice Lake
Waukesha County
Baraboo
Savage, MN
Cable
Champlin, MN

Hmmm, no North Dakota cities in this bunch. Obviously there is a jungle of data available but I thought this was rather interesting although it doesn’t keep me up at night thinking about it…thank goodness!!

C’mon spring!!!

Life Is A Gift…Live It!
