When Elmarie and I started our Simon's Town Real Estate Agency we were experts at internet marketing. Many years ago I started my first internet business. Unfortunately South Africans were slower to adapt to the internet because of excessive cost and slow connections.
Many of these negative connectivity issues have now been addressed and many of us can afford faster internet connections. And more of us will connect because of even faster connections due to significantly lower fees….A report by consultancy World Wide Worx, Internet Access in South Africa 2008, revealed the number of Internet users in South Africa hit 4.6-million last year and is set to nearly double to 9-million over the next five years.
According to Arthur Goldstuck, managing director of World Wide Worx, this explosion in growth will be due in part to the new undersea cables, although these cables represent only one of four major drivers of growth in the Internet user base.
When we started our real estate business in Simon's Town, our goal was to capture most of the real estate internet traffic, while we were creating relationships with the local community.
Although the South Africans were behind, research indicated that 3 out of 4 Americans were using the internet to search for real estate. And this was our aim. We knew that internet access was only a question of time and we wanted to capture this market. Within the Simon's Town niche, we wanted to make our skills available, to buyers and sellers across the world.
When we started, South Africa was not part of the 3 out of 4 scenario.
But I read some great news to today. Mr. Chris Wiid, manager of Property24.com said that during July 2009 they had 523 838 online single page views for individual homes, this is 60 0000 more than in January 2009.
We don't know yet, how many South Africans are using the internet to search for properties. What we do know is that it's increasing. In the same article one of the largest real estate companies in South Africa said that, of their non South African buyers, 55% of the sales were from enquiries via there website.
What are the benefits of an effective real estate website like SimonsTownRealty.Info?

The image below, shows you that we are number two, three, four and five, for the search term "simon's town real estate for sale". This means that when people search, using this term, they have a 5 out of 10 chance of landing on our website. Can you show me any world renown real estate agency can replicate this?
- But you may say, that people are not only searching for simon's town real estate for sale. Yes, you are correct. We have identified more than 1000 different keyword phrases, that people use, to search for property in Simon's Town.
Let me conclude with a headline I once read:
