What might help is if you buy traffic for your blog/website it doesnt matter if they are robots or humans then put a counter on your website so it will count every new person on your website. Then it will make your website/blog look popular. My friend has done and it worked for him give it a try it might cost 10-20$ though

Do you blog about the real estate market, specific properties, or what? What are some popular real estate topics?

Gas Prices and Sales

2008-04-17T16:42:27Z

Just curious to know if and how much gas prices are effecting anyones sales and the number of new clients they’re getting. Gas prices have a huge effect on everything in our area since we are very rural and more tourist oriented.

Choice of Vehicle?

2008-04-05T12:40:07Z

It seems to me that many real estate agents tend to drive higher end cars.

Do you think this is the case, and are you influenced by your career when choosing a vehicle?

Will renting help increase your credit score?

2008-07-14T08:41:07Z

Hi everyone!
I’m brand new here and have a few questions. My family would like to buy a new home soon. The only problem is that we’ve been struggling with trying to get our credit score back up from getting behind on some bills back in the Fall when my husband had surgery and was off work for 4 months. We are definitely going to be moving and possibly selling our current home before this Winter. So, we may have to rent for about a year before we can buy a home. I was just wondering if we had a whole year of renting, paid on time, everytime, will it help raise our credit score so that we might be better able to buy a home in the next year?

Is it time to sell?

With the state we are in with the economy I guess my frustration is right now not being able to sell my current home. We have endless homes in our neighborhood just sitting there and nothing taking place. Should we hold off until things get better or try renting out the house? Any thoughts we be great, I live in Michigan.

Effect of Foreclosures

2008-07-28T09:40:53Z

Foreclosures aren’t making the headlines here in Canada that I see on CNN referring to the US market, but I was wondering if people in those areas feel that the foreclosures have levelled off and done as much damage as they’ll do?

Washington State Market

2008-07-24T14:01:31Z

Is the market good enough in Washington State to justify getting a real estate license, now. (If you do not already have one?) My sister is considering this, and isn’t sure if she could break in. She lives in Vancouver, WA.

What NOT to write about

2008-06-13T04:55:44Z

These simple rules are given here “as is” and are based on my extensive experience on the matter. So you’ve got yourself a business blog, but don’t know what you should avoid writing and keep your clients still reading? Go no further, as you’ll find what you need right here:

1. Don’t make the text long - nobody likes to read novels online.

2. Don’t use complicated language - keep it simple, you want to reach the lowest common denominator.

3. Don’t share personal stories unless they’re related to what you do - nobody wants to read about the wild things you pet parrot has been up to.

4. Don’t forget to add a picture at every post - pictures make people want to read more.

5. Don’t use marketing text - it’s boring, and it’s fake. It also hurts your business if you use it on your blog.

6. Don’t be dismissive with your clients - your client, your god. Don’t forget that.

7. Don’t turn post moderation on. You want people to be able to comment, and if there are barriers, they won’t. Moderating is a big no no.

I’ll get back if I remember more, but so far, if you stick to these, you should have a fair ammount of success.
