cedar rapids: The Top Ten Reasons Why My Website Stands Apart From the Competition
- 12/07/06 02:13 AM
In it's infancy days, http://www.christophersmithrealtor.com/ was a struggling excuse for even a "static" website that merely provided information, so that 2.3 seconds later, you could switch to another, more "dynamic" website. I liken this website to the eyes of my baby boy, who just turned one in November. When you look at life through the eyes of a child, everything is new! Everything has possibilities! Everything has merit (potentially). So, as my website continues to "learn how to walk" and not fall "face first" into everything in it's path, I give you the top ten reasons why my website stands apart from … (8 comments)

It's Wednesday morning, not unlike any other Wednesday morning in the beautiful state of Iowa. I make sure my little boy has his bottle, gets dressed and off to daycare with my lovely wife.

I was visiting my old school today where I taught, Grant Wood Elementary, on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids.

The student looked at the cartoon and said,"Mr. Smith, this is so cooool! You must be the only person selling houses, that has been made into … (7 comments)

The farm was widely diversified with livestock and land. Joseph worked the land until his death in 1907, leaving the 400 acres of prime Iowa real estate to his family.

cedar rapids: Realtor Websites and "Web Presence" in Your Community
- 09/21/06 01:54 PM
Of the 900+ Realtors in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area, very few have any kind of "web presence" in the community. Their websites are static and only provide information. They are not geared towards immediate feedback, drip email campaigns, links to related blogs, etc... In my short time as a Realtor, I have worked hard on having a web presence in my community, and it's finally starting to pay off. My little fifteen page website ranks first page for two key search phrases and in the top ten for the third search phrase. I've done this all by myself, and no doubt, … (5 comments)
