When we launched our land website - LandBin.com - we were able to build in some functions not yet available on LakePlace.com. The daily feed on Land Bin is a list of all new minnesota land and wisconsin land listings put on the market in the past 24 hours. You can visit the homepage every day to see the new listings - or you can subscribe to the daily feed via rss or email. If you are not yet familiar with rss feeds - you may want to check out this article on wikipedia…and I highly recommend playing around with rss feeds for awhile to get comfortable (try playing with Google’s feed reader - it’s simple and powerful) - they can change the way you receive information. We will be introducing this function on LakePlace.com as well - but we still have some other issues we need to tighten up before we get to work on that.

As it stands, LandBin.com is kind of the read-headed step child. 99.95% of our time is dedicated to LakePlace.com - with 0.05% allocated to LandBin.com. Our job is to help our clients buy and sell real estate. LandBin.com is still too new to get any real props from the big search engines - so it gets about 1/10th of the traffic of LakePlace.com. It works well enough (although it does need some attention) to be a valuable tool…if you can find it. Some engines (Y!) rank it highly for terms like MN land for sale & WI land for sale - and it is even on the 2nd page for the generic land for sale phrase - so we think it is just a matter of time before LandBin.com traffic catches up, and maybe even surpasses LakePlace.com traffic…when we see that happening, we will go to a 50/50 time allocation.

Anyway, Im just ranting…I will try to post something more interesting soon. Happy lake home and land hunting!
