      <description>I am in the process of developing a large tract of lake view (Dale Hollow Lake) land.&lt;br /&gt;
In total I will never have more than 50 lots for sale. I would like to send my brochure (in the works) to a very limited amount of carefully choosen addresses in the larger cities within no more than 250 miles from the development. I was thinking of people with a certain level of income, job description, age etc living in what could be called an 'upscale' zip code area.&lt;br /&gt;
I plan to price the lots at a very reasonable price (reasonable for the area but especially reasonable in view of a typical lake view lot )&lt;br /&gt;
Any suggestions?</description>

      <description>Hello,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have worked with a company very similar to yours and they did a huge online advertisement schedule. They also did some print but not much.  When you notice the decrease, were you making any changes? (Site layout, information change and so on). I have a proven record of increase business for companies. If you can send me more information (1creativeservices@gmail.com) I can tell you what you can do to increase your business.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Expert,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you say the number of "hits" has decreased by 10%, do you really mean the number of "visits"?  Those two terms are not synonymous.  All images and media embedded on a page can have their own hits, so a Web page will average almost 25 hits on a server, when in fact only one visit was actually made.  You're almost always better off measuring visits over hits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A good way to keep track of your Web traffic is Google Analytics.  It's free and it will help you track interesting statistics such as most common pages viewed, number of visits, number of unique visitors, common keywords, average time spent on site, number of pages viewed, etc.  You can generate reports on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.  This can be very helpful when trying to assess the impact of any promotions you've made regarding your Web site.  Regular monitoring from these reports will also help you pinpoint specific periods when your traffic has gone down, helping you to diagnose the cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have this Web analytics tool in place, you can try different ways to promote your site, and if you notice a lift in your traffic shortly after, you will get a good idea for which promotional tactics are most effective for building and/or restoring your web traffic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me know if I can provide further information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Hey&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I went to your site to check it out and went ahead and joined so that I could write a review about a local winery, but my reveiw got kicked out for some reason.  You need to talk to your IT guys to get some of these problems resolved.  Other than that the site looks pretty good.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Why ask someone when you could find the answer yourself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
www.google.com/analytics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A google analytics account will help.</description>

      <description>Thank you for the update on the error notices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have info about the cities. The links are relevant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does Google look down upon relevant links too ?</description>

      <description>If you're just in a local market, I'd suggest issuing a few simple press releases. Most areas have a few business or social websites/ services that will let you post a press release for free. It will at least get you some more exposure, and it will take just a short time to do the research and write something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the technical side, my guess is in line with one of your other responses, in that your site is probably been identified as a directory by search engines and your ranking has gone down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck.</description>

      <description>I did a quick review of your site to see if there were any blatent SEO issues.  In short, I found link after link that delivered 404 errors. Even central navigational links like your Malls link at the top is 404.  Check your web stats to see if your 404 errors have gone up by 10%.  If not then it still could be your issue b/c 404 pages will be dropping out or have dropped out of the index.  I have not connection to this company but they have a great little link checker that I recommend. Xenu Link Sleuth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from that - it appears that your site is basically one big affliate link farm.  Over time without more original content the engines will come to realize that - and will de-position your rankings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best of Luck - &lt;br /&gt;
