Have you ever considered posting your available listings on Craigslist?
If Craigslist is available in your area, this could be a great free tool to use. It is not very time consuming and Craigslist has quite a large audience. Just remember, in addition to any photos or property details that you include directly in your post, you will certainly want to be sure to include a link directing the prospective buyer or investor back to your website.
Not only will this increase the traffic and reach of your site, but once they are there, your new visitor can continue browsing all available listings that you have to offer on your website. Hopefully, they can also access all available listings in your MLS if you offer a home search option on your site. And best of all, ANY listing they want more information for now is your new lead.

Don't give it all away! Remember, Craigslist can be a great tool to not only get the word out about your new listing, but also to bring in new visitors to your website. Chances are, this first home they clicked on through Craigslist may not end up being their dream home, but if they can click through to your website and continue with a customized search for all listings in your MLS based on what they're looking for, then you just might have found your next buyer!
