I think the main problem with the big portals is that a high percentage of their traffic comes from generic terms such as 'Spanish Property'.
Let's be honest, anyone typing Spanish Property is in the very first phases of research for a move to Spain. Once people know where they want to go, they'll be typing much more specific search phrases - and getting to the smaller portals and agents.
My portal site is very new, but im climbing steadily on the search engines, and all of my traffic is very targetted - they know exactly what they want and where they want it - so the enquiries should be of a much greater quality.
