Here's a piece from the realtor deal re- clipstream. This is from their web site. This company has a great feature , when a buyer uses an agent's website the LISTING agent is blank so the buyer has to go back to their own agent for a showing, agents will very pleased with that feature. phototours.net 3D home tours- amazing!

Phototours generate a lot of Web site traffic At Phototours.net, we have taken the time to measure the effectiveness of adding an interface page to our exclusive multiple picture Phototours database to scores of real estate Web sites. And do you know what we found out in EVERY case? Web sites that have an interface page to our database get AT LEAST 10 to 20 times more hits than those that don't have one! What's more, they get way more repeat visitors as well.NOTE: When your Web site has an interface page to our Phototours database, all Phototours that aren't yours can be viewed at your site WITHOUT seller agent contact information. This way, buyers looking at these properties must refer back to you if they want additional information. More people are using the Internet on a regular basis than ever before If you're one of those people who thought that only computer geeks, students and scientists use the Internet on a regular basis, think again. According to Statscan, 35.9% of all Canadian households browsed the Internet on a regular basis in 1998! What's more, in four provinces, the figure was even higher, with Alberta coming out in front at 45.1% and B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia taking 2nd to 4th places at 42%, 39% and 37.9% respectively. And the numbers just keep on growing. When you compare the above nationwide figure that of 1997, the annual rate of increase is 22.1%. Also, in large metropolitan centres such as Toronto and Vancouver, where Internet access is inexpensive and easy to come by, user ratios are now closer to the 50% mark. Translated, this means that more people are using the Internet as their primary source of real estate information than ever before. It also means that, if you don't have your own personal real estate Web site and you're not showcasing listings using multiple picture on-line Phototours, you're sending the wrong message to your clients and prospects.
