A few months ago I wrote a blog post on the dramatic shift in real estate classified ad revenues away from newspapers. We all knew it was coming and getting worse for print media. Last week the Q2 figures were published, which shows an even more challenging view; I thought I’d take a look at [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ouch!

Thursday, May 1, 2008
Search engines are where most people start their web search and being ranked highly in search engines is a big deal. For any website, it is important to be highly ranked in search engines as this helps to drive more users. Recently, there has been some confusion or misunderstanding about Trulia in the blogosphere in [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Search Engines, Trulia and Googlygook", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2008/05/01/search-engines-trulia-and-googlygook/" });

Thursday, April 3, 2008
The Newspaper Association of America released some data last week on the decline in advertising revenue in Newspapers. At Trulia we monitor these trends closely as our business model is in a large part based on capturing a portion of the advertising dollars as they shift from less efficient offline media to online media, which [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Is the housing market the final nail in the coffin for newspapers?", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2008/04/03/is-the-housing-market-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-for-newspapers/" });

Monday, November 26, 2007
According to an article in today’s New York Times, 2007 marks the year that “CyberMonday” — the promotion initiated in 2005 by online retail trade organization Shop.org to create an online counterpart to the brick-and-mortar “Black Friday” — moves from gimmick to genuine trend. The phrase “genuine trend” immediately got me thinking about online real estate [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Cyber Monday, Christmas Trees, homes for sale and other shopping trends", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/11/26/cyber-monday-christmas-trees-homes-for-sales-and-other-shopping-trends/" });

Friday, November 2, 2007
When everyone turns back their clocks for daylight savings time this Sunday, I’m sure many home buyers will be wishing they could turn their clocks back a little further – perhaps to 2005 or 2006 when the housing boom was still in full swing, interest rates were at an all-time low and every purchase seemed [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "National Open House Day is November 4", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/11/02/national-open-house-day-is-november-4/" });
