NEWTOWN, CT – Oct. 7, 2004 - The Golf Course Home Network of web sites, a home-buyers resource featuring master-planned, golf and waterview communities, surged to a record-setting 400,000 plus visitors over the six-month period ending last month, according to David Lott, Editor and Publisher.

The 400,000-visitor mark represents a 44-percent increase over the same period last year. In addition, newly added communities located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe pushed the total number of Featured Communities to more than 100. Total Network hits for the six-month period soared to more than 6.7 million.

"A key benefit of the increased traffic is that all our advertisers -- our Featured Communities -- have harvested more quality leads while seeing their cost-per-lead go down," notes Lott. "So a wonderful result of our visitor-traffic growth is that the Network becomes a much more efficient lead-generator for our advertisers."

http://www.GolfCourseHome.net and http://www.WaterViewHome.net are the core of the Golf Course Home™ Network which features a database of more than 500 master-planned communities, plus editorial features on more than 100 world-class golf and waterview communities in the U.S., including 39 communities in Florida, plus Canada, Mexico and Europe.

Major companies featuring properties on The Golf Course Home™ Network include Toll Brothers, Del Webb, Ginn Company, Worthington, St. Joe, Centex and LandMar.

GolfCourseHome.net has been featured in "Golf Digest," "Golf for Women" Magazine, "Senior Golfer" and Schwab's "On Investing" magazines and will be featured in the November 2004 issue of "Business 2.0."
