Just a quick followup - something I have been saying for years is that the most important thing about a Realtor's website is its search engine positioning. As long as it has good positioning and a Home Search form you will make money. You don't even need listings on the site. All the content and the design is meaningless if the site can't be found.

I agree one hundred percent with you Doug. I rememeber when I first came to you, young and dumb about real estate and the internet..lol you tired to tell me haha

Well I have personally seen it to many times now. SOME UGLY websites ranked number 1 making a ton of money. Goes to show you # 1 doesnt always mean the best.

Your thirst for knowledge has served you well

froggiam - you show a thirst for knowledge also so I am sure you will do well in your future internet endeavors too. Just remember that you can't cross the bridges until you come to them - don't research forever. Sometimes you just have to do it and learn from your mistakes!

That is so true about mistakes. I have made a few and will admit it, but as long as you can learn from your mistakes and you will make some, you will do very well. The internet is just like anything else you get out of it what you put into it. Best Of Luck

Don't use frames! Frame-based websites are disliked by search engines and users alike. We recommend http://www.gridsix.com

And on the note of Flash: many search engines now index Flash content. If done right, Flash can be a pleasant addition to any web site.
