    Of the 20,000,000 claimed, unique, portals snoopers each month only 61,000 buy a property. Even if one credits every single sale as being down to the internet only 1 in every 327 portal watchers ever buys a property.

    Back in the spirit duplicator days keeping the register down below 1:30 was an absolute necessity, so much for progress.

    Rubbish in- Rubbish out!

    i think Hitwise got a little better at picking up and recording traffic visits in the last year. i doubt any of these sites' in house figures woud also show such growth.

    is that the zoopla market share has flat-lined in recent months whilst rightmove continues to grow. zoopla has rolled in traffic from other sites, such as findaproperty, so unlikely to repeat such growth figures.
