  • Daft.ie's record new audience figures

    We are thrilled to announce the results of the latest report from online measurement company ABC, which shows that the Daft.ie audience has grown to an incredible 1.9 million monthly unique browsers.

    This not only makes us the biggest property website in Ireland by far, but also one of the most popular Irish sites.

    ABC are independent auditors who measure the audiences of Ireland's largest sites. Their report was taken from September 2011 data and a further breakdown of the report can be found here.

    Along with the 1.9 million monthly unique browsers who visit the site, the report shows that Daft.ie also publishes a staggering 137 million page impressions per month.

    The result is a great achievement for the team here at Daft.ie who work tirelessly to produce an easy to use site that is full of premium, up to date content.

  • The Time Is Right - When Should I Renew My Ad?

    When a rental ad is listed on Daft, it can be "renewed" once per day. Renewing an ad is effectively confirming that the property is still available, so the ad behaves like a new listing and is pushed back to the top of the search results.

    Over the course of the day other advertisers will also place new ads and renew their existing ones. This constant churn means that the ad which was renewed at 9am to go top of the listings is very unlikely to still be there come 9pm.

    Ads at the top of the search results will generally get a much higher response rate than those further down the listings, so the longer an ad remains towards the top of the listings, the better it performs in terms of views, phonecalls and ad replies. As a result of this, one question we often get asked is "what's the best time of day to renew my ad?".
