Are Tech Stocks Getting Bubblicious?

Apple may be hitting new all-time highs and trading with a forward P/E of "just" 11.6, making it a value stock, but many other hot Internet and technology stocks don't look quite so cheap. Just the opposite. Many are trading at nosebleed levels.

Yet the justification has always been that you're paying for growth and that growth doesn't come cheaply. After all, investors must pay a premium to buy into the hottest technologies.

As the 2012 stock rally advances, however, many of these stocks have also seen big gains and that has pushed their P/E ratios even higher.

Take a look at the forward P/Es of some of the glamour companies and their expected growth rates:

1. Pandora (NYSE:P - News)
P/E of 1235
EPS growth: expected to lose a penny in fiscal 2012 and make a penny in fiscal 2013 for 172.4% growth

2. LinkedIn (:LNKD)
P/E of 356
EPS growth: 89.2%

3. Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM - News)
P/E of 324
EPS growth: an actual decline of 73% in fiscal 2012

4. Zillow (NasdaqGS:Z - News)
P/E of 133
EPS growth: 264%

5. Groupon (NasdaqGS:GRPN - News)
P/E of 73
EPS Growth: 127%

Has irrational exuberance again gripped some segments of the technology sector?

Will investors get burned?

Dynamic Page Solutions Combines Patent-Pending MLS IDX with PPC Management Strategies to Capture Real Estate Leads for …

Dynamic Page Solutions announces a new Lead Performer site, combining paid placement Internet advertising with a search engine optimized real estate IDX to gain search engine traffic and real estate leads from both paid and organic results for related keywords.

Mesa, Arizona (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Dynamic Page Solutions announces a brand new Lead Performer site for Prudential Americana Group, REALTORS®. The Lead Performer site uses the strategic combination of paid placement Internet advertising with a search engine optimized real estate IDX to gain search engine traffic and real estate leads from both paid and organic results for related keywords.

Early adopters of this new program gain exclusivity of a new template designed specifically to convert paid search traffic into real estate leads. The same template is powered by Dynamic Page Solutions proprietary content management system which automatically generates thousands of optimized pages of homes for sale in a client’s market. MLS listings are sorted and categorized based upon many inherent property features and the description uploaded to the MLS by the listing agent. Properties can be optimized for terms such as condo, gated community, golf community, foreclosure, short sale, affordable, luxury and many more terms. Each listing that is available on the MLS through broker reciprocity agreements can be used to bring traffic to a client’s personal website.

One of the core benefits of using our indexable IDX which is further enhanced by optimization of property types is the ability for branded web pages to be returned for a significant number of user queries. Internet marketing typically consists of targeting keywords. Creating many web pages that target a great variety of keywords broadens the chance of matching these keywords to user queries (homebuyers). Dynamic Page Solutions real estate technology creates these optimized web pages, (individual real estate listings) automatically and without the need for a real estate professional to understand web development or determine which keywords to go after.

Clients can have thousands of web pages working for them autonomously to gain new real estate business. Having a strong web presence is increasingly critical in real estate marketing since most homebuyers begin their search for real estate on the web and this trend will only grow as mobile Internet devices gain traction. Unlike competitor agreements, Dynamic Page Solutions Lead Performer websites come with custom keyword research, SEO’ed content, 28 buyer topics, a premium CRM and clients can retain possession of the site should they choose to cancel the PPC portion of the program and only continue with a monthly hosting fee. Prudential Americana Group, REALTORS® new website is http://www.LasVegasHomeReview.com.

Dynamic Page Solutions currently provides services in 60 MLS markets across the nation and is growing to include new markets each month.
