My web stats for ryanhomesnightmare using Web trend reports showed 7357 unique user sessions over the last 30 days. Hits are 69218. Much less than HOBB I guess, but not on the message boards. Nothing extraordinary by net standards but okay for what it is. 

The number 3 most frequent visitor to my site was  NVR/ SPRINTLINK at #3: IP traced: 204.96.165.72 195.  NVR is the corporate head of our builder, Ryan Homes. Also had 5 server slamming overloads, and one certain hack attempt, several suspects.  Not so unusual, well except the brief flooding overloads,  since I started running search based ads.

I've run 1.7 million ads online for Ryanhomesnightmare.com It will be at least 2.0 million by early February. Still there is the sad fact about getting your message out, even on a relatively open net. If you can't promote like the builders and their many affiliates with a solid budget to push others out,  people tend to miss the "nightmare builder sites and stories" until after they're in one, and stop using organic searches.

My story can't be missed by their buyers now, only ignored and lied away. Still there's more to do. Every buyer of any home should know all sides of the risks they are taking to make informed decisions. I dare say most are still being deceived on some level.

BRAVO!
RRJ, you are one of the RARE FEW who not only speaks out, but also is actually DOING something about shoddy construction. Only if there would be more like you! Then maybe things would change.

Thanks!
an e-mail I got today:

Good evening,


I just wanted to give my deepest sympathy to you and your family for the pain Ryan Homes has caused.  My fiance and i (even after being repeatedly told by my parents who have a 32 year old Ryan built home to NEVER by a Ryan), we still considered and after reading your website (along with many others!) have been quick to change our minds.  Their low prices and cheap incentives make you feel like 'it's worth a few building problems', however it's not, we will be paying a bit more for our custom built home but i will be walking away with much more assurance than a Ryan Home.  We live in the Western New York area where it feels like you can't drive 5 miles without seeing a brand new Ryan development, however the newest development has many unhappy customers with VERY LARGE sign on their house 'You'll be cryin if ya' buy a ryan!'... THANK YOU for your website and while your story is truly heart breaking please know you have saved many people the aggravation of buying a Ryan...


Kind Regards,
A and J
