Hi Don, my GL site went "live" yesterday.  So far, no traffic, but I will heed your advice when it picks up.

Hi Donald, good recap for anyone working with incoming web leads.  I'm not all that familiar with ML - does the contact database program allow you to set up some kind of automated follow up process's?  I use ours to send useful info about homes in our area, different issues to what for etc.  #6 & 7 are so true as is your #1 - be patient.  We just closed on a home few weeks back with a client that's been in our system for over a year and a half!
