Well Matt, we technically met on the phone once though not face to face. I agree with you on the competition chewing the small guy up in terms of Redfin (but man does Redfin create a great map or what) and simple budget power. On the other hand just like real estate SEO, I have seen local agents claiming a small area for themselves kicking out homes.com and such. When the service is the same you are right, price will beat everything. As far as the KSGMAC, they might be limiting the cities on that IDX (in terms of 3K) but my current IDX's search results are also quiet similar.

By the way, I am done with my IDX just going over the graphics now. (don't worry I don't have half your cool options). I am aiming smaller more targeted searches which probably means, I am history when it comes to it. P.S. Before real estate I used to deal with Internet start ups as a automation technology consultant (I am a nurde but not a computer whiz). My biggest mistake was to ask for one better and one better and one better. Now I am done (at least for now).

I also totally understand your point of view. I actually would not mind to show PMP as an advertising partner because I do believe in your service but I doubt you have any other programs other than free VOW, which currently is not that valuable to me.
