This report follows the launch of the company’s new website, www.anneerwin.com, the establishment of a positive real estate news twitter, and the installation of a new photo gallery on the company’s website.
Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty launched a new website in December 2008, and has since seen traffic increase by over 130% during the period of February 1, 2009 – April 1, 2009 in comparison with November 01, 2008 – January 1, 2009.

The Maine real estate agency has recently started a real estate Twitter, “tweeting” positive real estate news to real estate professionals, buyers, sellers, and anyone else who follows the updates. Twitter, a social networking and microblogging service that has been gaining popularity, allows users to broadcast “tweets”, or messages, of up to 140 characters in length, to everyone following them.

Recently, the Maine real estate agency installed a new photo gallery, replacing the new website’s initial one. The new gallery offers larger photos, and a more appealing thumbnail photo layout, allowing users to see a grid of all photos at one time, as opposed to scrolling through a photo filmstrip.
“Our increase in traffic is a result of many things, including improved search engine optimization tactics, and the participation in social networks like twitter, and youtube,” says Marketing Director, Emily King. “Photos have the potential to create an emotional connection with the viewer and can generate serious leads, we decided to improve the gallery by making the photos larger, clearer, and the gallery’s navigation more intuitive.”
