I actually have a very strong opinion about Virtual Tours and their use in real estate marketing in particular. Coming from an SEO Marketing background, I understand the importance of proper presentation and how a well done virtual tour not only may help you sell an individual listing but with regards to marketing, places your contact information, you company branding and markets you to the rest of world better than most other avenues. I am particularly fond of the new layout that justsnooping.com has. They did a very good job of displaying large images in flash but the coolest part of this new layout is the html hidden underneath the flash tour! The reason it is so important, is that with very little effort on my part, I can get it listed and placed very high int he search engines because the html is search engine friendly and includes all the listing information and the contact information about yourself that you also want to market. I am not saying that justsnooping is the only virtual tour company I recommend, but for the purpose of search engine optimization, it is the one that I prefer. My point is simply that you can't just not say "I'm not doing virtual tours because they don't look good" or "they have never helped me get or sell listing ". In my opinion, Virtual Tours are a very desirable complement to your existing Internet marketing strategy and I wonder how you compete in today's market without that. So that I am not marketing myself here, I will put a link to justsnooping.com below as I did reference and recommend them in my post. - Fri Mar 14 2008, 11:04
