Industry Insider (cont) • April Industry News: – My. New. Place issued a press release April 10 th saying that they are the fastest apartment search website, based on Google paid speed rankings. If you are questioned about this, here a few facts you should know: 1. Apartments. com was listed last. This was due to the initial launch of the new site and we've already improved and will continue to improve. 2. AHL was not included. Had AHL been included they would have been #3. 3. Speed of site has no effect on the quality of listings. Apartments. com still is the leading apartment search solution. 25
