Wow!

We have had a pretty big week at LakePlace.com. LakePlace.com usually receives about 10,000 visitors (actual people) per day…this week we have been hovering in the 15,000-20,000 visitor per day (19,000+ visitors/day for the past 3 days!) mark and well over 100,000 page views per day.

Now if you are familiar with internet statistic packages, you will know that the numbers can vary quite a bit, depending on the program. The numbers we use are the lowest numbers of all the various statistical packages we have installed on our server. In other words, our actual server logs tell us that the numbers are much, much higher…but we feel it is in everyone’s best interests to go with the lower numbers (as reported by webalizer).

To put it into perspective - LakePlace.com, although specializing in one small niche of the real estate market, is the 2nd most visited real estate website in the two states we serve. That includes all of the “big” metro companys. Big Red’s corporate website has us beat by a pretty good margin, but…we gave them a 50 year head start on brand awareness, and we are gaining fast.

I remember the day LakePlace.com first hit 1,000 page views in a single 24 hour cycle. And I remember the first time we had more than 100 people visit our site in a single day. Those were exciting times for us - we knew we were on to something.

If you are reading this blog post, you have probably read the LakePlace.com about us page (which we should/will update). LakePlace.com was born out of necessity. When my business partner and I were looking for our own cabins - it was obvious that something like LakePlace.com was needed. Turns out, almost 20,000 people (per day and growing) agree!

Have a Great Weekend!
