CAMPBELL, Calif., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Move, Inc. (Nasdaq:
MOVE), the leader in online real estate, today announced it has
renewed its content distribution agreement with online leader MSN,
thereby continuing to deliver unmatched reach and value to
advertisers interested in targeting the 18.6 million(1) consumers
searching the first and fifth most visited real estate websites(2)
each month.
Move's Chief Executive Officer, Steve
Berkowitz, said, "By increasing our online presence through
distribution agreements with leaders like MSN, Move creates
unparalleled opportunities for advertisers to reach beyond our
network to an even greater audience searching for reliable and
fresh real estate listings and homeownership information."
Berkowitz continues by explaining that Move's content
distribution partners, including MSN, understand the value of
displaying the largest and most accurate collection of property
listing content available on their sites, and trust Move to ensure
their visitors' online property search experience includes the
freshest and most accurate property details available on the
Internet.
"One of the reasons Move remains the leader in online real
estate is because of our valued relationships with the 933+
Multiple Listing Services nationwide," says Berkowitz.
"Because of these relationships, Move is in the unique
position to update approximately 75 percent of the property
listings on our network every 15 minutes. By delivering the largest
and most accurate real estate content search experience, Move
remains an efficient and effective online marketing solution for
our content distribution partners and our advertisers."
Berkowitz goes on to say that while reach, traffic and content
search experience are vital for advertisers to consider, audience
quality is an equally important consideration for advertisers.
"Move continually attracts the largest audience of consumers as
compared to other real estate websites, which is important to
advertisers," Berkowitz says. "At the same time, data shows a
significant portion of our traffic is considered to be of the
highest quality because they are part of the top 20 percent that
regularly search the real estate category(3). By increasing
our online footprint through content distribution agreements with
partners like MSN, and by delivering the best online search
experience to consumers, Move's advertisers will continue to reach
the right consumers at the right time."
With the recently renewed agreement, MSN visitors interested in
searching for real estate can continue to access millions of
property listings and relevant information from the Move Network by
going to the Money tab located on the MSN homepage, and selecting
Real Estate & Rentals. In addition to finding properties
and reliable information on area schools, community features, sold
prices, home values and more, MSN visitors clicking to the Move
Network can also connect directly with Realtors®, mortgage
services, and professional movers to help make the process of
buying and selling a home easier.
Move has served as a provider of real estate listing content to
MSN since 2003.
