I just started running my ez ads a couple weeks ago, no response yet, but I think that the towns I market to seeing my face in 1 more place could make a difference.

I've run about a dozen EZ ads, for our company (just branding) and also for specific for sale listings in Seattle. For the listings, I've typically bought $50 worth of ads (5k impressions) in zips surrounding the listing. These have had the best results as far as click through rate -- close to 1% (i.e. for $50, I get 50/5000 people clicking through the EZ ad to my site).

It's hard to quantify if this is getting me paid as we get calls and emails from a variety of sources. But for sure 1/our sellers love it; 2/it's getting us brand exposure for our company and 3/it's way cheaper than our Sunday Seattle Times ad for the same property, which runs about $90 and rarely nets us a call.

I ran an E-Z ad for a couple of weeks and had 20 clicks which went to my website, 11 inquiries about me as an agent, and 0 calls or direct emails. For the cost of $10/1000 showings I'm going to try it again on another property and see what comes of it.

Just a heads up that you can find some further information about what has worked with EZ Ads on the Zillow Blog - http://www.zillowblog.com/category/ez-ads/

For example, using EZ Ads to publicize open houses has proved quite successful for some agents - http://www.zillowblog.com/ez-ads-spread-the-word-about-open-houses/2007/07/

I've had a few contacts, but no transactions--yet. There's one hanging out (family situation needs to be resolved first).

I like the idea of the "Just Sold" ad.

In our first trial runs, (1000 views x 2) we received about 12 clicks, 2 inquiries, and one listing. Not bad for just two rounds. I think we need to try it at different times and be more consistent in order to gauge the results.

I like them and I think that for the cost, it is a great idea to have the ads at a site like this where both buyers and sellers go to check out real estate.

No, but I've only tried it on one listing, and only started about 2 weeks ago. It's a listing about $200,000 over our median, so it's worth the expense.

Michele -

We only serve the Zillow ads when there is unsold ad inventory available in an area. To ensure that your EZ Ads are shows more often, you could either purchase more of the available page views in your Zips or run the same ad over a shorter duration (we pace out your ad views over the duration you select.)

David, Thanks for the explanation. And thanks to your support desk also!

Zillow is doing a wonderful job in the Lake Conroe area!

I'm looking forward to Zillow providing the same high level of coverage to the Lake Livingston area. I've just added a Lake Livingston waterfront listing and I'm anxious to see how the ad performs.

We added that link to professionals' accounts because we received feedback that it needed to be easier to buy EZ Ads. If you don't have ads running and don't currently plan to by EZ Ads please ignore it.

Michele -

It's a pleasure. Thank you for your support and let us know how it goes.

Chas -

Sorry to hear that. We do monitor and control access to the site to prevent automated harvesting of any contact details. I recommend adding your number to the do not call registry: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
