Is that 10,000,000 VISITORS, or 10,000,000 page hits? Each time a picture, or graphic, or button, loads, that’s a hit. Most places inaccurately state the latter as the former.
Just wondering, thanks,
Sam

I went to the Luxury Property section of Raveis.com and put in al my criteria in detail.
I clicked to submit and got an instruction that I needed to select a county, apparently because the site was not equipped to do the entire state of CT.
I selected Litchfield County and all my other data was erased, meaning I had to start the process all over again.
Award winning web site? Maybe for you, but not for me. With prudentialct.com, I can put in all my desired details and not be limited to a county. That site does the entire state for me.

I had to come here to submit an issue. There is no webmaster link on your site to submit problems? When I am in results and toggle ascending criteria on price, when I’m at the bottom of each page and I click on the next arrow, the ascending criteria I selected is not remembered and it loads the following page as if I was looking at homes priced in the millions. The only way for me to get around this is to go to the top of the page (after having browsed to the bottom of the page) and utilize the “go to page X” link.
Not very intuitive or handy to have to figure a way around this glitch. Nor was it helpful to have to click my way around to try and find a way to report the issue.
