So it has been about 2 months since we officially launched LandBin.com. For those of you who are not familiar with it - LandBin.com features the internets largest database of Minnesota land for sale and Wisconsin land for sale. Currently the site is displaying 49,000+ land, acreage, lots and farms for sale - with 246 new listings today!

Since the launch - over 100,000 people have visited LandBin.com and they have viewed 788,000+ pages. The record day so far is 6,367 visitors and 15,326 page views. So far, this month (as of 04/23/08) LandBin.com has had 58,017 visitors and 245,316 page views.

While the site is currently #1 on Y! for a couple of key phrases like mn land for sale & wi land for sale - we have not been seeing great results in The Big G…that is…until yesterday. Cameron and I were pleasantly surprised when we caught a glimpse of what could be the future. LandBin.com was ranked very highly on the Big G yesterday for some very competitive keywords and phrases. Although these rankings have disappeared for the time-being - we think we somehow ended up connecting to an updated G server and we are hoping (and keeping our fingers crossed) that those results are currently propagating through the massive system. Time will tell. If the results we found yesterday do happen to stick - it will be one of our greatest accomplishments since getting into the internet marketing business 10 years ago. It took years and years to get LakePlace.com to its current position - and if we cut out 4 years of heavy lifting with LandBin.com - we will be very pleased.

Land prices are going crazy right now - the demand is super high. The big players in the online land market (currently) are LandsofAmerica.com, LandandFarm.com & LandWatch.com - they are all great websites..but down the road, LandBin.com will display more land listings than all of these websites combined - which we believe will drive traffic and offer buyers and sellers the same advantage LakePlace.com currently offers.

If you plan to buy or sell land in the near future - we hope you will consider LandBin.com. Have a great day!

How’s LandBin Doing?

Well, it has been about 30 days since we announced the launch of LandBin.com and she’s holding pretty steady in terms of visitors and page views. LandBin.com features the Internet’s largest selection of Minnesota land for sale & Wisconsin land for sale - with more than 45,000 land, acreage, and lots for sale. I am going to go ahead and insert our daily numbers directly from the LandBin.com server below. I would not normally do something like this, especially when they are not all that impressive (yet), but we think they are looking pretty good for a 30 day old website.

LandBin.com is currently in what is called “the sandbox.” It takes a while for the major engines to recognize a new website as an authority on a specific subject - this is one of the downfalls of launching a new website with a newly registered domain name. However, LandBin.com runs on a highly tuned engine - which will eventually drive it to the top of all the major searches…it is really just a waiting game. If you are looking to buy or sell land - you will want to use LandBin.com…eventually!

Below are the stats for February 2008 - the 1st through the 26th - as reported by Webalizer.

To put it into perspective…LakePlace.com does about 10-15x these numbers…so we are pretty excited to see this since we are still in the sandbox and it has only been 30 days since launch.

Also, don’t forget to checkout the great articles we have recently posted on LandBin.com. If you are thinking about purchasing a hobby farm, hunting land or farm land - these are great reads and very informative!

I used this title (and image) in the past to describe LakePlace.com traffic. LakePlace.com has doubled (at least) in traffic every year since launch and is delivering millions of page views every month.

We are happy to report that our new website - LandBin.com - which features land for sale is already gaining a lot of traffic. The site is showing up great in some on some of the major portals for phrases like Minnesota land for sale & Wisconsin land for sale. After just launching a couple of short weeks ago, LandBin.com is now delivering about 10,000 page views per day (around 1/10th of LakePlace.com).

Although our infastructure is setup to handle it (and much more), we were not expecting to see this kind of traffic so quickly. It seems there are a lot of people looking for hobby farms & hunting land - and we are happy we can help!

If you have a minute - checkout LandBin.com and let us know what you think. Thanks!

Reading Material

Dave G. — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:23:40 +0000

We just posted two new articles at LandBin.com. The first covers hunting land and some things to think about, including game management, when considering a land purchase. The second article covers hobby farms and gives you some insight into everything from angora goats to alpacas. Both are pretty good articles that you might want to take a look at.
