How to link your real estate or business virtual tour

Blue Sky Virtual Tours can deliever your virtual tour links in several formats.  Our most common tour links are shown below and explained for you and your webmaster.

When your virtual tour is delivered to you,  you will recieve an e-mail with at least two (2) seperate and unique links to your online virtual tour. Of course, Blue Sky Virtual Tours can also provide MLS/IDX compiant tours if needed.  

Link #1

The first link will look like a snippet of code like this:

<br><a href="http://www.realtourvision.com/tour/RE/tour.view.new.php?utl=RE-2133-TOPEEA-01">
<img src="http://www.realtourvision.com/tour.gif" border="0"></a>

When this entire snippet of code is placed into a website the end result will display our default "Take a 360 Virtual Tour" icon to online shoppers.

Webmasters:  Please note the area highlighted in yellow above is pulling our default "Tour Icon" but that image may be replaced or swapped out with any icon of your choice. The icon can also be completely removed and replaced with a text only link.

When online shoppers click on this icon, the corresponding virtual tour will open in a new window and the visitor will not leave your website.


Link #2

The second link that you recieve is a direct link to your virtual tour such as this:

http://www.realtourvision.com/tour/RE//tour.view.new.php?utl=RE-2133-TOPEEA-01

This link will be used on MLS websites as well as sites that allow you to log in and copy and paste a link directly to your tour.



Which of these links is preferred?  This is dependant upon your unique site.  Link #1 will attract more attention to your virtual tour and the end result will be higher traffic.  Link #1 will not be available to all sites.  Many websites are pre-programmed to support virtual tours and will require you to use link #2.  Usually these sites will create their own button when the link is dropped.
