I think it's always best if you do something that no one else does, make your own path... I agree, we really need to step up our game, so to speak, and start thinking of new ways to market via email.

In addition to being prohibited at AWeber (see our <a title="AWeber Service Agreement" href="http://www.aweber.com/service-agreement.htm" rel="nofollow">Service Agreement</a> and <a title="Can I Use Purchased Leads?" href="http://www.aweber.com/faq/questions/163/Can+I+Import+and+Use+Purchased+Leads%3F" rel="nofollow">Knowledge Base</a>), buying email addresses is spamming and simply not a good idea (see <a title="The Ugly Truth About Buying Email Lists" href="http://www.aweber.com/blog/email-deliverability/buying-email-lists-the-ugly-truth.htm" rel="nofollow">this post</a> on our blog). CAN-SPAM compliant or not, buying email lists will bring you nothing but headache. Joan,

I see others doing this to promote listings, open houses, etc. I looked into doing this on my own and found some services that wanted upwards of $100 to send out 1 email to brokers around me but this isn't a longterm, ongoing solution that the email medium offers. I found a database/ list of over 1,000,000 USA real estate agents & brokers for $47, which is the same one used by the companies that charge hundreds of dollars to send out a couple of messages. If I purchase it then I own it and can send to it as I see fit. Has anyone else had success with this? I looked it over and it is Can Spam compliant: http://brokerbroadcast.com/cf/agentlist.htm Any thoughts? Thanks! Justin,

Should Realtors or Agents ask for the site visitors name and email address prior to allowing them to view any real estate or should they be allowed to view x number of properties before having to register? Collecting visitors email addresses via newsletter signup or waiting for inquiries doesn't always produce such great results. If you "open it all up" you end up having a ton of visitors (even real estate brokers) using your MLS data web site as a research tool. I am in favor of allowing 5-7 clicks before prompting them to sign-in.
