Since Redfin was able to <a href="http://blog.redfin.com/blog/2008/10/new_website_new_boston_mls_rules_unleash_the_hounds.html" rel="nofollow">drop our registration wall for Boston listings</a> (Boston was our only market with forced registration) Boston traffic has been growing at a double digit pace week or week when previously it was flat. I highly recommend not having forcing registration. I agree with Derek.

I think if you provide valuable and comprehensive information coupled with a great user interface, the consumers will come back to use you until they are ready to move on a home.
