I monitor use of my site closely. Part of it is out of interest to know what lakes are being searched the most for homes and lots for sale but I also want to make sure my site is useful to buyers and sellers so I am interested in what features are the most popular. A statistic that I am disappointed in is how often the Google Custom Search Engine that I have deployed is being used. In can be found on the right sidebar of most pages of my site as well as at the bottom of the home page and the pages dedicated to lake homes for sale, residential homes for sale and lake lots for sale.
What is useful about it is that you can search all real estate listings for words that are of interest to you. You can ofcourse search for Multiple Listing Numbers, street names, etc. but what is cool is that you can find listings that mention, for example, the word ‘sandy’ (probably referring to lakeshore..) or for a product name such as ‘Wolf’ if you like the ranges the company produces. Check it out and test it. You might find a home that you hadn’t previously discovered.
