And if the site portrays security, cleanliness, and the ease of which to reserve or rent a unit - this trumps having the prime location on the main road with a high traffic count. 

It can be a lot more time consuming but effective for someone on a tight budget looking to increase site traffic

Always keep an eye of leads/conversions as that'll give you a frame work to eliminate or down bid on keywords that aren't bringing in the relevant traffic/leads to maximize your ROI.

Hello I'm new to BP from the beautiful Bay Area...thought I would confirm Richmond is 20 minutes to SF downtown WITH NO traffic, that may be only Saturday early morning or Sunday while everyone is at church in the morning or sleeping in. 

The private road has an access point complete with a city traffic light.

I buy traffic from Google Adwords and find distressed homeowners looking to sell fast.  

I think that this may draw attention and traffic to my website or advertisements during vacancies.

My potential job prospects are in Nampa or Meridian so the commute could work out to not be that, like you mentioned, anything is better than SD traffic.

There isn't much traffic over head but still.want to make it as peaceful as possible. 

But right now it's an hour drive in gridlock traffic from Long Beach and I'm kinda tired of living in a tiny flat where I eat and sleep in the same place.
