Postlets Pro Now Free for Everyone!

News from Zillow What changes have taken place since Zillow acquired Postlets in April? For one, last month we developed the ability for real estate agents, sellers, property managers, and landlords to post for-sale and for-rent listings directly from Zillow to Craigslist — for free! Today, we're thrilled to announce that the Postlets Pro program is now free. That's right — we are opening up this program, which was previously a paid, subscription-only program, to everyone, for free! That means that starting today, all new for-rent and for-sale listings on Postlets are free and will include:    

up to 18 large photos a rich listings template with multiple tabs the ability to embed community information (i.e. Walk Score, school data) video capabilities Previously, these enhanced listing features were only available to paying Postlets Pro subscribers. And, of course, Postlets is still committed to listing syndication, which distributes your listings across 13 real estate and social media websites.

What is the best way to drive traffic to my website? I am often asked ―what is the best way to drive traffic to my website‖. There are so many ways to market your website and get results some take a lot of time to cultivate and some can produce traffic right off the bat. In order to drive traffic you need to know the options available – and then plan your strategy. There are free ways – you don’t have to pay money but you do have to spend time to get where you want to go. Those of you on a shoe string budget may not have the cash to advertise or use Pay-PerClick methods. Remember even the best designed websites will not produce income unless there is traffic directed to it... Free traffic, as the term suggests, implies that you drive traffic to your website free of charge. The most common method of obtaining this involves usingSearch Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. When you optimize your website, search engines view your site as being useful and relevant. This in turn, leads to increase in rankings for your keywords, key phrases. One thing you must be aware of SEO methods are great for obtaining free traffic in the long term, but it might take as long as six months to a year to see full results.
