We also noticed that each article listing offers various social media buttons to share the article via email, Facebook and Twitter or to add it to ?one of their boards in Pinterest. There is also a keyword based search box to allow users to search for articles on any specific topic.

Sponsored Sections: Interestingly, we noticed that MagicBricks has signed on relevant brands to sponsor specific sections. For instance, the Paints section is sponsored by Berger Paints, while the Flooring section is sponsored by Somany and the Lights section sponsored by Havells. Besides that, the homepage sidebar also showcases links to dedicated microsites of these advertisers which offer additional information on the advertiser and their products.

Articles: When we checked, we noticed that the site is currently offering a mixture of in-house content and content?sourced from various editions of Times Property, the real estate supplement of the daily, Times Of India. In each article, MagicBricks surfaces article suggestions from that section on the side and related articles at the bottom?along with social media buttons to recommend and forward the content through email or share it on Facebook and Twitter. The site also allows readers to post comments by signing up through their Facebook or Twitter accounts or by providing details like Name, Email address and location as well as share their comments on Facebook and Twitter.
