Free Property Advertising
A look at some of the sites out to grab advertising fees. Some like Rightmove, only accept ads from estate agents, some want a fee for a listing, others have a free offer. We have tried to build up a picture of how much use these are likely to be to sellers. It can be very difficult to get a good picture of how many people are really visiting these sites but to give some kind of comparison basis, we have checked out the Alexa rank of all the sites listed. Alexa, which is owned by Amazon tracks visitors to pretty much every web site, and our rule of thumb would be that if a site is in the top 100,000 Alexa rank, then it might be worth a look. If a site is down in the millions, it is pretty certain to be a waste of time, the only person going there much is the person who built it.

Fantastic list there! Very useful.
Do you know if there’s been any new ones since you created it?

problem with website agents is the public have no face to face contact so it creates a mistrust.
bluenest has qualified CRB checked assessors to change that, just hope on line agents use them.

This is a very useful resource – in the 3 years since it was published there have been a few developments – noteably Google Maps allowing private sellers and estate agents to advertise their properties to rent or for sale on google Maps UK.
Also uk portal The Big Property List (http://www.thebigpropertylist.co.uk) is free to list and free to recieve enquiries if you put your advert on google maps.
