blog: Today I passed 100,000 points! - 02/10/12 12:55 PM
Well today I passed 100,000 active rain points.  I was planning on making a blog post advertising with this post .... But the points were rewarded for a contest I entered on trust.    I have been very busy in many different directions... Even real estate has picked up... I have 4 really good leads.  One an old listing, one a potential new listing, one a zillow lead and last but not least one I picked up from my last listing.... This is pretty exciting because I have been busy with my dad's research project.  Some research for my state legislator.   I … (7 comments)

blog: Song about Bank of America's delay .... Very funny! But true! - 12/31/11 01:35 PM
this is really funny! Unfortunately it is a story that does happen....Read my blog post from yesterday http://activerain.com/blogsview/2675329/i-hate-dealing-with-big-banks. We have all had delayed closings and the bigger the bank the more likely the delay... I hope you enjoyed this song as much as I did. This loan finally closed on December 18, 2011. I hope these creative people enjoy their new home. Enjoy! … (2 comments)

blog: Help! Testing search buttons and searchs.....2011 December blog challange - 12/10/11 12:46 PM
 
Yesterday I attended a seminar on building effective links from my blog which was run by Bob Stewart.   It was very informative.  The most useful item I found out was that my website www.debbieholmes.net has some major search problems.  Turns out I can only direct them to the start of a search.  I need to do some more work and find a new way to drive leads... When I practiced I realized how clumsy my links were.... OUCH....As Bob Stewart said " they only will stay for one or 2 clicks"  So I am going to do some research and … (11 comments)

blog: With this post I hit 50,000 points! - 11/15/11 09:39 AM
Well I have been blogging off and on since January 2008.... Sometimes I am consistant.....Sometimes I took long breaks... Mostly I talk about real estate....Sometimes I talk about politics and heathcare.... Sometimes I talk about my family and important events... Others have better blogs but it is a record of what I do and it might help me with  my business.  I still don't know how to link blogs...While I have had this blog I ran for Congress and had a mastectomy.  My kids have left home....  I have learned to be a better agent.  I have asked questions... I have … (11 comments)

blog: Everyone is trying to sell me something.... - 03/04/08 09:27 AM
Last week I had three people call me to try out their new and different websites...  It didn't matter to them that I had two websites and a blog.  www.debbieholmes.net, www.homepages.com/debbieholmes1 and this blog. If I just try their product my business will boom and my webranking will skyrocket!!!!!! Sounds to good to be true.  Homes.com actually succeeded because they promised me a lot of exposure so my third webpage is.... drumroll........ http://debbieholmes.directhomes.com/  They gave me a great deal and had some cool features.  I don't know if this will be useful.  Plus I have 2 free featured listings.  Got to … (9 comments)

blog: Ever wonder what makes a good blog (or at least one that gets responses)? - 02/27/08 08:39 AM
Hi!  Its the start of hopefully my lightest day of the week.  I still have to get up my listing  and set up a short sale negotiation with the bank.  I have written many blogs.  Some get responses, while others get ignored.  It wouldn't bother me if  people ignored my less interesting topics. I have written a great informative  bang up article on short sales yesterday (to help me organize my thoughts).  I thought it was one of my best, but alas no one responded......  So my question to everybody is, What makes a good blog that gets responses?
