Meanwhile the websites for Ibiza (www.ibiza-sothebysrealty.com) and Mallorca (www.mallorca-sothebysrealty.com) are making even greater strides, up 81% and 35% respectively for year-on-year traffic.

Daniel de Chavarra Waschke, Managing Director of Sotheby's International Realty in Spain's Balearics, says, "Traffic to the parent website, http://www.sir.com, has been steadily trending upwards for the last six years, with most growth taking place over the past two. This is attributable to strategic marketing by head office, continual investment into SEO and online advertising, and the Company's overall growth with 720 Sotheby's International Realty offices now open across 52 countries."

However, Mallorca and Ibiza's traffic surges are even more impressive. Daniel continues, "We have placed great importance on generating traffic to our two websites. We retain specialist Search Engine Marketing experts and Public Relations professionals, and the result is 81% more traffic for Ibiza in one year and 35% more for Mallorca. Of course, there is a spin-off benefit from the success of http://www.sir.com, for which we are very grateful, as well as a general heightened media interest in these exquisite Mediterranean islands which helps our overall visibility."
