   I noticed that you are using Google Adsense as a skyscraper on the side. I suggest you rethink your implementation of the program and consider a layout that could potentially increase your revenues. Check Google’s heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f

   To reach realtors, you can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for the type of information you provide. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

   Or you can do a direct marketing campaign starting with realtors in your area. Send them a letter informing them of your website and how it can benefit them.

   Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

   1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

   2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

   CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
   Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

   3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

   If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

   4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

   Add a new topic to wikipedia.com about real estate or something and add this link in there somewhere. This will increase your google ranking quite a bit.

   Add a page to MySpace.com as well and do the same thing.
