Promotion Closed Tuesday October 28th, 2008 - thank you everyone for your orders

Promo hours available 25% bonus - take advantage of your dollar

It's promotion time again at Real Estate Webmasters, and this one's timeframe is quite unpredictable so you will want to act quickly.

As many of you know, Real Estate Webmasters is a Canadian company that (due to 99.5% of our clients being US based) charges in US dollars. Also for those of you who watch the markets, you will know that the Canadian dollar (compared to US) has been doing very well this year (which is bad for us) so much so, that we seriously considered increasing our rates - I however decided that I would keep prices fixed and ride out our unusually high dollar trend.

Great news - Our dollar…

THIS PROMOTION SOLD OUT IN 3 DAYS - Thanks for all who purchased

Real Estate Webmasters is offering the most significant discounted price ever on our most popular product - the REW CORE IDX (yes it's the one that is built into your REW website, has snippet & lead management integration and is search engine spiderable.)

So what's the deal - how do I save $2000?

Normally REW CORE IDX is $2500 for install and $360 USD per year for IDX data hosting.

For these 2 weeks (and only these 2 weeks) we will be offering our CORE IDX install for 20% of it's normal cost (You read that right, not a 20% discount, but 20% of it's price) basically you save $2000 USD if you buy now.

To our valued REW customers.

By now many have already noticed and commented on an increase in both response times and efficiency during business hours at our REW customer support forums. This is no accident - Recently we have increased our team of daytime CSR reps responsible for non billable support of our technologies.

The most significant addition to our CSR program this year - is the addition of 3 full time programmers for providing tier 2 and tier 3 support for REW technology (CMS, Lead manager, IDX, Listings Manager, Hosted Blogs, Email & Server) Support.

The tiered concept (Sometimes referred to as escalation) is one that is new to REW, but one that has proven very effective in similar corporate envirements - Hosting companies being the best…

I have been getting a few inquiries from those that have paid thier setup fees for either their iframe IDX, or iFrame IDX + REW Template site on how to go about setting up the iFrame - I thought I would post a quick tutorial. (Note we have not billed out the iframes yet as we were waiting for more to come in to try to get you guys a discount on the setup fee, but we will need to bill them in short order)

So here's how you do it (Or rather the URL and code to give to your developer)

The URL for your iframe:

You will see /your-name-frame/ replace your-name with your name for instance mine would read /morgan-carey-frame/ and the full URL would be  http://www.nwhomes.net/iframe/morgan-carey-frame/

It is…

Every month we convert current users of the Advanced Access website platform to the Real Estate Webmasters platform and I find myself confronted with the same questions each time - so I figured I would write this blog post to provide a convenient way for those converting or thinking of converting to get the answers they need before making the switch.

I am going to adopt the FAQ format for this post so that as more questions come in, I can update this post with those answers as well for the benefit of future readers - So let's begin.

Leaving Advanced Access frequently asked questions

Q: My Advanced Access website ranks well in search engines, if I switch to Real Estate Webmasters will I loose my rankings?

A: This is probably the biggest concern / most…

Or maybe just a little bit of fun :)

My buddy Eric Bramlett who has been really firing it up doing his own SEO lately (He is first and foremost a Realtor - or at least he used to be heh) came up with an idea for a fun contest - the "Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World Contest" (He gets a link because it was his idea - this is NOT my idea and I take no responsibility for the great relationships you may build or the learning you may experience. Also as with any attempts at experimenting with your site to try to rank it - please be sure you are familiar and adhere to Google's Guidelines For Webmasters.

Anyways - what this is, is a good old fashioned SEO contest - We pick a phrase that is not very competitive (So everyone can compete on a reletively…

One of the first things you will want to do when starting to use version 2.0 REW lead management is create groups.

What are groups?

Groups are ways to organize your leads into specific types of leads such as "registered IDX users" or "relocating next year". Groups are tied directly to the drip email system, so creating and organizing your groups is the first step in creating a successful drip email campaign, which is the key to success in processing online leads.

The new REW Leads system allows you to create and manage unlimited amounts of groups, and assign any particular lead to as many groups as you like or you feel they fit into.

Creating a group

Ironically as important as groups are to laying the groundwork for your lead management, they are…
