Greetings Real Estate Gurus

I've been approached by a company called Clicksmart. Yes, I've heard hundreds of these spiels before, and one thing I have learned is to never plunk down my money until I've asked the real estate communities for feedback - same-day signup discounts notwithstanding.

They have a better than average spiel and seem to offer a decent package. They buy a sponsored link in your market for the top search engines (top of the page in the yellow area on Google, for instance - check out Flagstaff real estate agent or Dallas real estate agent) and you buy a position on their page, which they limit to a certain number of total agents, say 20 or 10 depending on your market. The first top 5 positions are the premium positions and you pay on a graduated scale from #1 to #5. The other positions are more economical but rotate daily, so you would on any given day be from number 6-10, for instance.

They do the keyword research but will allow you input, and adjust it on a regular basis. You have an info page with links to your website, e-mail and a click-to-call service that will dial you and connect the customer to your phone. They offer full tracking for all contacts. They say it also improves SEO for your website due to traffic to your website link (they have a minimum monthly unique visitor guarantee).

They do ask for a one-year contract up front with monthly payments or a discount for prepaying six months up front, and the contract goes to month-to-month after the first year. They claim they have a high retention rate.

So....has anybody done business with these folks? Do they deliver what they promise?

Thumbs Up...or Thumbs Down?!?

Thanks in advance for any feedback you may have.
