How you create these links and where you send the person clicking on them could make the difference in how your readers interact with you. The proper implementation of this strategy could be the difference between converting your blog readers into clients and ultimately business and simply being someone providing information out of the goodness of your heart.</p> <p><strong>Remember, you should be blogging for business!</strong></p> <p>It is no secret that consumers want the information they are after in the easiest, most direct fashion possible. One need only look at Google's insane traffic numbers to prove that point. Google does a great job of letting consumers search for exactly what they want and returning results that are relevant to the search they just did. Are you employing a similar technique when you create links on your blog posts? In most cases the answer is NO.</p> <p>Sometimes the answer is no because you don't know where you should actually be linking (or maybe even that you should be linking at all) and sometimes the answer is no because even if you wanted to, your site doesn't allow you to link to the right place. In a lot of the cases I come across on ActiveRain it's probably a combination of both.</p> <p>So first let's deal with where you want to be linking when you create links in your blog posts. You want to send the person to the exact information you just told them you were going to provide with the link you created. Does that make sense? Let's do an example:</p> <p><strong>The correct way:</strong></p> <p>(Click on the link below and see where it takes you. DO IT, I'll wait! Now once you are taken there, pay attention to the URL that we land on. It is specific to the exact link that we created, and more important takes to the results that we said we were going to deliver)</p> <p><a href="http://www.servingdowntownseattle.com/listings/area/seattle/propertytype/single/maxprice/300000/beds/3/" title="Homes for sale in Seattle under 300K with 3+ bedrooms" target="_blank">Affordable homes in Seattle under $300,000 with 3+ bedrooms</a></p> <ul> <li>sends us to: http://www.servingdowntownseattle.com/listings/area/seattle/propertytype/single/maxprice/300000/beds/3/&nbsp;&nbsp; See that URL? It's exactly what we just said we were going to send them to.<br /></li> </ul> <p>Maybe our blog post for this specific search was referring to affordable homes for new families in the Seattle area. New families need at least 3 bedrooms, and they generally can't afford much more than $300,000. So does it not make sense to send them to a SPECIFIC search on your website that delivers the information that your reader thinks they are about to find?</p> <p><strong>The way many people are doing it:</strong></p> <p>(In this example you can only mirror the wording for the above link if you can create a unique URL to a search of that nature. Otherwise, you are simply sending them to a page where they expect one thing, homes for sale in Seattle under $300,000 with 3+ bedrooms, and they get something else.........the home page of your website or a search page where they can then do that search on their own)</p> <p><a href="http://www.servingdowntownseattle.com/" title="Home page for servingdowtownseattle.com" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle</a></p> <ul> <li>sends us to: http://www.servingdowntownseattle.com/&nbsp;&nbsp; See that URL? It's the home page of her site. Now she has to depend that the person will actually perform the search once they reach the site. Her site makes it really easy to find that search function. It's right there, at the top left of the page, the place a person's eye naturally falls so she has a better chance of them performing the search then most people do.......but why even take the chance if the post they were reading was about affordable homes for families buying their first home?</li> </ul> <p><strong>Biggest Folly I see when people include a link: Linking to your home page</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/1/9/3/1/ar123869705113916.jpg" height="174" alt="" width="218" /></p> <p>What if, unlike our home page above, the home page of your website doesn't make it so obvious how someone actually searches for homes? Here are three completely random examples that I just pulled from ActiveRain members in Seattle:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.murphybrown.com/" title="Homes for sale in Seattle" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle</a> (http://www.murphybrown.com/)<br /></li> <li><a href="http://www.seattlecondohotline.com/" title="Homes for sale in Seattle" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle </a>(http://www.seattlecondohotline.com/)</li> <li><a href="http://mssold.net/" title="Homes for sale in Seattle" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle</a> (http://mssold.net/)<br /></li> </ul> <p>Please click on those sites and you tell me how long it takes you to actually get a list of homes for sale in Seattle? 5 seconds? 30 seconds? you couldn't figure it out? (I'm dead serious!! This is important!! Do it! Click on those links and figure out how long it takes the consumer to find homes for sale in Seattle) How about on your own website? It's going to be hard to judge your own website, hopefully you know how to quickly access your search feature. Have someone else try it then, your spouse maybe or a friend. Stand and watch them do it. How long did it take them?</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>"Remember, consumers have an average attention span of 3-5 seconds.&nbsp; When they&rsquo;re scanning your website for an answer to their question or problem, they want to find it quickly.&nbsp; An effective website doesn&rsquo;t force a customer to frantically search their website</em>."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.wisdomcreativegroup.com/news.php?action=detail&amp;id=12" target="_blank">Is your website consumer focused?</a></p> <p><strong>The better place would be to link them directly to the home search function on your site</strong>:</p> <p>Most of you have the ability to do this with your site. For the three examples above, here are the links to the home search portions of their site:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.murphybrown.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Listing.SearchPropertyNeighborhood&amp;st=wa" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle</a> (http://www.murphybrown.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Listing.SearchPropertyNeighborhood&amp;st=wa)</li> <li><a href="http://www.seattlecondohotline.com/Seattle_WA_listings/index.shtml" title="Homes for sale in Seattle" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle</a> (http://www.seattlecondohotline.com/Seattle_WA_listings/index.shtml) This one was actually tough. I still couldn't really figure out how to access a complete home search and I've seen way more real estate websites than any consumer</li> <li><a href="http://lakere.com/search/property_search.php?county=no_king" title="Homes for sale in Seattle" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle</a> (http://lakere.com/search/property_search.php?county=no_king) This one redirects away from her site to what appears to be the brokers site. I wonder if it tracks that traffic as having been sent from her and if that consumer registers does she get the contact?<br /></li> </ul> <p><img title="Hit the mark with your links" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/0/1/1/5/ar123869664451108.jpg" height="281" alt="Hit the mark with your links" style="margin: 6px; float: left;" width="281" /><strong>The best place to link them is directly to a specific search that best matches your blog post:</strong></p> <p>Of these three completely random sites, none of them have the ability for you to create custom URL's out of the search functionality. They all use database queries to pull up the results that you search for. Anytime you are searching on the murphybrown.com site, you remain on that same URL and the home search results load in a framed solution. There is nothing wrong with that per say, but if you are writing a blog post about Affordable homes in Seattle under $300,000 with 3+ bedrooms, the only options these sites provide for linking out of the post to the home search is to drop the consumer on the front of the home search page. And if that's the case, can you really make your link say '<a href="http://www.servingdowntownseattle.com/listings/area/seattle/propertytype/single/maxprice/300000/beds/3/" title="Homes in Seattle under 300,000 with 3+ bedrooms" target="_blank">Affordable homes for sale in Seattle under $300,000 with 3+ bedrooms</a>' if the link actually takes them to a default home search page?</p> <p><strong>What kind of options does your current home search solution give you? </strong></p> <p>If a consumer is reading your blog post, chances are they are already a highly targeted visitor. Does it make sense to take a highly targeted visitor that knows they want to look at affordable homes in Seattle under $300,000 with 3+ bedrooms and send them to a page that forces them to figure out how to actually navigate a search to obtain the information they desire? Remember above? You have 3-5 seconds.</p> <p>If you haven't heard, ActiveRain is offering an IDX solution, Vision, through a partnership with Market Leader. The site I was using above in the example is one of those sites, servingdowntownseattle.com.</p> <p>You can find out more <a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/988701/I-can-see-clearly-now-ActiveRain-and-Vision" title="ActiveRain offering IDX solution" target="_blank">information about it here</a> and you can get started with <a href="http://activerain.com/action/vision" title="Sign up for Vision" target="_blank">your own Vision site here</a>.</p> <p>(Disclaimer: I only used $50,000 in the title line to grab your attention.

No matter what, whether it's good or bad, people do talk.&nbsp; In the social media world, even more-so.&nbsp; Good news travels fast, and often times, bad news travels even faster.</p> <p><strong>How do you know when someone is talking about you, </strong>your company, or your business <span style="text-decoration: underline;">in the on-line world?</span>&nbsp; What are people saying or whispering on LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace or FaceBook?&nbsp; What about your past or current clients, your sphere of influence, or even your competitors?&nbsp; Would you even know?&nbsp; I think many of the Larger Companies and Businesses DO know the power of Social Media Marketing and the importance of Networking.&nbsp; I see it more and more, they are wanting to stay close and connected to what's being said about their products, their services, their company and business, or even them as individuals.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/6/9/1/2/ar125683578821969.png" height="71" alt="" width="501" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/8/6/8/8/ar125683582688684.png" height="19" alt="" width="501" /></p> <p><em>Managing and Protecting your online reputation isn't just for the Big Corporate Companies.... </em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/5/3/4/7/ar125644200574352.png" height="32" alt="" style="border: 1px solid black;" width="491" /></p> <p><em>...it should also be important to you.</em></p> <p><strong>Here's some ideas and suggestions</strong> that can help you in the new <span style="text-decoration: underline;">on-line</span> social media and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">off-line</span> networking world.&nbsp; Let's start with the simplest and basic of all tools.&nbsp; When was the last time you ran your name or Company using Google?&nbsp; <a href="http://google.com" title="Google Search" target="_blank">Google Search</a>.&nbsp; This is typically the first thing we learn and try to do regularly to see what shows up in the search engine results.&nbsp;<em> </em>This is a great and basic way to find out how about your online Internet presence.&nbsp; What shows up?&nbsp; I still do this on a weekly basis.</p> <p><strong>Next, there are some free and simple tools available</strong> to help you get a better handle on what's being said across the WEB.&nbsp; Start with <a href="http://www.google.com/alerts" title="Google Alerts" target="_blank">Google Alerts</a>, it's an easy way to setup specific keyword searches.&nbsp; Once those specific words or terms are found and indexed, notifications are emailed directly to you.&nbsp; Setup alerts for your name, your company, employees, your brand etc.&nbsp; Some even setup Google Alerts for their competition or other specific business topics or "interesting" terms and phrases.&nbsp; This is a good start to keeping yourself connected and informed.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Many of you will remember the "viral" video "United Breaks Guitars!?!"</strong>&nbsp; I wonder how long before United knew they were famous on Youtube?

The title of the presentation I'm going to be giving is:&nbsp; <strong>Using Social Networks to Build and Engage Your Community</strong>.</p> <p>I definitely don't want to give the "whole" thing away, <em>(at least not before I get a chance to present it to a live audience!)</em>, but I thought I'd give a taste for how I organized the presentation so that you can (hopefully) get a better idea of which social networking sites you should be using to build your business.</p> <p>First off, based on the title, I broke the presentation into three parts:</p> <ul> <li>Part 1: "Using Social Networks"</li> <li>Part 2: "Building and Engaging YOUR Community"</li> <li>Part 3: "To"</li> </ul> <p>The insight I thought I'd share is from <strong>Part 1 </strong>of the presentation and it's the idea that there's a social network for everyone, but every social network is not right for you.</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/8/9/5/6/ar124030006865989.jpg" height="236" alt="social network for everyone" style="float: right;" width="315" /></p> <p>The idea is that if you look at the three types of personalities that tend to do well online (and by "do well" I mean generate traffic to websites), they are:</p> <ul> <li>Community Builders</li> <li>Connectors</li> <li>Mavens </li> </ul> <p>I like to think of the <strong>community builders</strong> as the social fabric that keeps everyone engaged.&nbsp; I thought about calling these people "social networkers", but "social network" has a pretty different and fuzzy meaning so I decided not to go there.&nbsp; The value of these people is that they are often the ones to organize events, bring people together in social settings, introduce new people to the "rules", etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I use the term <strong>connector</strong> for the people who are more the business networking type.&nbsp; These are the people who attend lots of conferences, have a huge rolodex of names and are always on the lookout for ways to connect people together so they can do business together.&nbsp; I had lunch last week with a true connector.&nbsp; The guy organize monthly dinners at a very nice local restaurant for 8 (different) people each month even when there's no obvious way he's going to make money (yet!).</p> <p>The <strong>mavens</strong> are the first-movers and the people who are always looking for the next big thing. Traditionally, these guys have been some of the best bloggers around because they're always looking for the next big trend. <em>(I could be wrong, but out of the three, I think this one best describes me). </em></p> <p>Once you identify where you fit into this mix, I think you'll have a much easier time finding the social network that will not only drive the most business your way, but that you'll enjoy engaging in.</p> <ul> <li>For example, for the <strong>community builders </strong>out there... try out <a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think you'll find there's a huge community of people out there just waiting to engage with you.&nbsp; And for the people who treat this right, there's a huge potential for generating referrals from the connections you'll make using the tool!</li> <li>For <strong>connectors</strong>, there's no more popular business networking tool than <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; Engage over there.&nbsp; Start making a ton of connections with other business-minded networking folks.&nbsp; And when you hear about a great business opportunity for someone, look to spread the news to your linkedin connections.&nbsp; This will give you an awesome opening to start up a connection and start a dialog in a way that people on that social network want to engage!</li> <li>And for the <strong>mavens</strong>, I'm completely smitten with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dustin-Luther/56068536934" target="_blank">Facebook Pages</a> (not a Facebook Profile mind you, but a <a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1027006/7-Things-Every-Real-Estate-Agents-Should-Love-about-Facebooks-Business-Pages" target="_blank">Facebook Business Page</a>!).&nbsp; Functionally, these are kind of like twitter, except general chatter is really not appropriate, so instead you can focus on topics and conversations that are related to your business or interest&nbsp; (in my case, it's <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dustin-Luther/56068536934" target="_blank">using social media to generate business</a>!) <br /></li> </ul> <p>My hope is that for at least a few of the folks reading this post, it can help bring some clarity to how you might engage with people on the various popular social networks!</p> <p>And just to close the loop, in Part 2 of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=60697537788" target="_blank">the presentation I'll be giving at Technopalooza</a>, I talk about how to build your own community, which is where I talk about the importance of blogging and creating dynamic local content (<strong>all great ActiveRain stuff</strong>!).&nbsp; In Part 3, I talk about how "to" bring all the pieces together and actually use the social networks to build traffic and interest in YOUR community.&nbsp; <strong>If there's any chance you can make it on Wednesday, then I look forward to seeing you in Mesa! </strong><strong><br /></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dustin-Luther/56068536934"><img src="http://4realz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/fan-me-on-facebook1.png" alt="" width="200" /></a><a

I think you're going to like this. It's simple. Just create and add a <em>"Tweet"</em> button, or a custom <em>"Share"</em> graphic, then create a link to it just like you would any other photo or image.&nbsp; You can even use <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=http://activerain.com/blogsview/1300145/how-to-let-visitors-share-your-blog-posts-on-twitter-and-facebook" title="Tweet This Article" target="_blank">text with a hyper-link</a>.&nbsp; <strong><em>Here's the secret</em></strong>: you just need to replace the "BOLD" URL below with your page that you want shared.&nbsp; You will need to keep the underlined portion of the code below for each button to work.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=http://activerain.com/blogsview/1300145/how-to-get-your-blog-posts-viral-exposure-on-twitter-and-facebook" title="Tweet This On Twitter" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/7/4/8/3/ar125632699838476.png" height="26" alt="" width="81" /></a><strong> <br />Tweet Code</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://twitter.com/home?status=</span><strong>http://PlaceYourPageURLHere</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT%20http://activerain.com/blogsview/1300145/how-to-get-your-blog-posts-viral-exposure-on-twitter-and-facebook" title="Retweet This Post and I'll &quot;Follow&quot; You! :-))" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/8/2/9/1/ar125632702319286.png" height="28" alt="" width="69" /></a> <strong><br />For A ReTweet Code:</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://twitter.com/home?status=RT%20</span><strong>http://PutYourPageURLHere</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://activerain.com/blogsview/1300145/how-to-get-your-blog-posts-viral-exposure-on-twitter-and-facebook" title="Share with Friends on Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/0/6/5/6/ar125632716465608.png" height="23" alt="" style="border: 1px solid black;" width="74" /></a> <strong><br />Share on FaceBook Code</strong>:<span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=</span><strong>http://AddYourPageURLHere</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Now some of you may be thinking, why not just use the "<a href="http://sharethis.com/#STS=g15eid73.1e54" title="Sharethis" target="_blank">Sharethis</a>" or <a href="http://addthis.com/" title="AddThis" target="_blank">"AddThis"</a> widget?</strong>&nbsp; Well you still can, and they do have more options, but the millions of Social Networking consumers out there are probably more use to seeing the Tweet, ReTweet, and Share on FaceBook buttons.&nbsp; Familairity may play more of a role here than we think. Not to mention, using this method is quick, easy, and only "one click" away from accomplishing the readers goal. <strong>To Share!</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>So starting right now,</strong> you can begin letting the <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_people_are_on_facebook" target="_blank">100 million members</a> that logon to Facebook each day, and the <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_people_are_on_Twitter" target="_blank">14,590,000 Twitter accounts</a> <em>(guesstimation)</em> share your great content with others on Facebook and Twitter.&nbsp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Word of Caution:</span> This will not work for <em>"Members Only"</em> and "<em>Associates Only</em>" posts on AR.&nbsp; It will work on any <em>"Public"</em> Blog, Post, or Website.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Taking the idea one step further.&nbsp; If you have an AR Outside Blog,</strong> make sure that the Link you provide to your "Tweet" and "Share on FaceBook" buttons go to the post on your AR Outside Blog and not to your Internal AR Blog. This will help increase exposure and traffic to your Outside Blogs.&nbsp; All your "outbound" links should always go to your Outside Blog posts.&nbsp; Getting SEO and traffic to your Blogs is a great thing, but letting others share, and making it easy for them may be just as powerful.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Now let's talk about the <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_members_does_linkedin_have" target="_blank">35 million members on LinkedIn</a>?!?&nbsp;

margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;" /><strong>When I first started working here at AR</strong>, I was reading folks like <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Seth Godin</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Scobelizer</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chris Brogan</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Guy Kawasaki</span>.  Then I discovered other great sites and resources like GeekEstateBlog, where I soon became a contributing author.  The list kept growing over time. Now it has grown so large that I barely have enough hours in the day <em>(or night) </em>to try and keep up with all the great content that's available out there.  I still try, but my efforts seem futile.</p> <p>In the spirit of "Paying It Forward" I'm sharing some of these great writers, Blogs, and sites with all of you.

You could spend more time learning and playing on the computer than actually getting your work done. <em>(so be careful if you check out my top 200 from last year..)</em></p> <p><b>With that in mind, I tried to focus these "Top Sites" on things you can actually use</b> and apply to your business.  For every site and service I mention here, there are probably 4 or 5 others that offer the same type of tools or service, and that's not to say they aren't fantastic, these are just my selected choices to share.  The slide-show below <em>(using <a href="http://slideshare.net" title="Share your Powerpoint Slideshows" target="_blank">slideshare.net</a>)</em> has the name of the site, a quick overview of each one, then a link to their site using their logo. Some of these you will have heard of, and might even be using already.</p> <p> <center><div id="__ss_2118344" style="width: 525px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/bandersohn/top-free-real-estate-tools-2009" title="Top FREE Real Estate Tools 2009" style="font: 14px Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; display: block; margin: 12px 0 3px 0; text-decoration: underline;">Top FREE Real Estate Tools 2009</a><object height="455" style="margin: 0px;" width="525"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=topretools2009-091003163440-phpapp01&amp;stripped_title=top-free-real-estate-tools-2009" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=topretools2009-091003163440-phpapp01&amp;stripped_title=top-free-real-estate-tools-2009" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="455" width="525"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/" style="text-decoration: underline;">presentations</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/bandersohn" style="text-decoration: underline;">Brad Andersohn</a>.</div></div></center> <p><b>You can download a copy of this from <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/b7cyjxspo0" title="Click Here to Download This Presentation" target="_blank">Box.net</a></b>, a great site to store and share files with others.  If you've come across some great sites, on-line tools, or FREE services yourself this year, and you'd like to share them here, feel free to do so.  On many occasions, I have found some of the best stuff by just reading Blog comments on others posts.<p><b>In these tighter economic times,</b> I hope some of these sites and tools will help save you some money, time, and contribute to improving your Blogs, Websites, and Service to your clients.

margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;" width="139" />These are some areas that can have an impact on you and your Blogging experience.&nbsp; No matter who you are and what you do for a living, if you decide to start Blogging, here's a few suggestions that might help make your Blogging experience more enjoyable and successful.&nbsp; These following suggestions are NOT intended to isolate any one individual, network, or community.&nbsp; In fact, these suggestions come from an entirely different perspective which you'll discover at the end of this post.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Finish What you Start</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Some folks simply don't finish what they start. They become inconsistent and give up too soon to experience the results and rewards that can and will come from their Blogging efforts.&nbsp; Don't give up. Stay the course.&nbsp; You will only get out of it what you put into it. A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Be Creative With Original Ideas</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Don't try to imitate other people.&nbsp; Be Yourself and don't be afraid of who you are and what you choose to share. You are unique and bring something of value to the table no matter who you are.&nbsp; Finding your own voice is really nothing more than using the same voice you talk to others with on the phone and in person everyday. You are original, now just be creative and share your originality.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Have a Purpose and Be Professional</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Networking and Blogging require some time, direction, and focus.&nbsp; Avoid the pitfalls of being hurried, sloppy, and unprofessional.&nbsp; Your Blog and content are a direct reflection of who and what you are.&nbsp; Autograph your work with a signature of "quality!"&nbsp; Always be professional, ethical, moral, and kind towards others.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Mix it Up With a Variety of Content</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Only posting charts, statistics, and marketing reports etc. will make your Blog seem like a marketing machine.&nbsp; Add a little color and flavor by creating a variety of personal, business, and hyper-local posts. You'll find that offering a variety of content on your Blog will bring you a variety of readers and visitors.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><strong>Know Your Topics and Share Your Experience</strong><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Not being informed about subject matter can be a "Bloggers Nightmare!"&nbsp; There's nothing worse than getting sucked into questions you can't answer.&nbsp; The research and time it takes you to find out about a topic or subject matter and get answers can be consuming and discourage you from Blogging again.&nbsp; Better to share what you do know and your experience, than to claim you're the expert at something you're not.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Engage Your Readers</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Writing with no substance can be harmful or even fatal to your Blog.&nbsp; Writing content that draws the reader in and makes them want to come back for more should be the goal. Often, Bloggers will post articles that share only their view point and they aren't open for discussion.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Use Visuals To Make Posts Appealing</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Try not to always write articles that are just a "Wall Of Words"&nbsp; No visuals or photos, or even worse... bad photos can do more harm than good.&nbsp; Having posts that are cosmetically pleasing to the eye will help to draw readers in and bring your topics to life.c</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Be Careful Overselling - Everyone's a Buyer</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Purely self-promoting blogging can come across to others as not giving anything of value, even though your product or service is the greatest on the planet. Remember that everyone wants to buy, but no one wants to be sold.&nbsp; This in my opinion is one of the key differences between WEB 1.0, and the new WEB 2.0 world.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Protect Your Reputation</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />You can't please all the people all of the time, but coming across in writing like you are scolding the reader, whether in a post or a comment, can lead to frustration and discouragement to both author and reader.&nbsp; Sharing your opinion just as I am here is better than creating deliberate conflict.&nbsp; Always treat others online as you would offline and in person.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><strong>Be A Blogger, Not Just A Visitor</strong><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Not enough content or consistency will slow down your traffic and returning visitors.&nbsp; Try to not be repetitive or let your Blog become stale.&nbsp; Finding the proper balance of how many times to post each week is up to you. I suggest a minimum of 2-3 times per week. Your readers will come back as often as you post.&nbsp; Whatever works for you, just be consistent.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Interacting, Conversing, Dialog and Threads</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Being unresponsive to the readers and their comments will have a negative impact on your Blog.&nbsp; If you just "post &amp; go" never returning to engage or converse with others, then the value of a good thread or conversation will be lost.&nbsp; Many Bloggers create posts where the greatest value actually comes from the dialog in the comments.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>What's In A Title&nbsp;</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Everything. Not just for SEO either.&nbsp; Having a catchy title can make the difference of whether someone wants to read your post or not.&nbsp; Taking a bit more time to come up with a good title that is relevant is worth the extra effort.&nbsp; Don't take title's for granted, and be careful using a catchy title that has nothing to do with your subject matter or topic.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Be Part of the Solution and NOT the Problem</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Complaining, writing with negativity, and using a blog to attack others may be attractive to a certain audience, the question you have to ask yourself in this case is, "Is this the audience I wish to attract?"&nbsp; When sharing your opinions and experiences where there is a negative or questionable subject matter, try to find the roses and not the thorns, something that will help and benefit your readers.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Write With Transparency</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />Some Bloggers like to cut and paste from pre-written content that may not even be their own.&nbsp; Not being transparent can easily be detected in ones writing.&nbsp; Somehow that little 10pt font has a way of revealing more than you think. Be yourself, be sincere, be honest, and just be you.&nbsp; Don't plagiarize!&nbsp; As simple as this sounds, it is difficult for some, but must be overcome if you want to be a successful Blogger.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/9/9/ar125227474799056.png" height="16" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="16" /><strong>Participate - Read, Write, and Comment</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/0/0/1/ar125227471910093.png" height="42" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" width="40" />This is a big and common mistake.&nbsp; Taking time to read will only help you learn and grow. Taking time to write will only better your Blog post quality and increase your traffic, visitors, and business.&nbsp; Taking the time to comment on others posts will only build your reciprocating visitors and traffic and will do miracles for building new and exciting relationships.</p> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <ul> </ul> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/6/7/3/1/ar125227022813763.png" height="117" alt="" style="float: left; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;" width="155" />I share these thoughts, common mistakes, and suggestions with you today not because of what <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>YOU</strong></span> are doing wrong, but because these are many of the things <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>I</strong></span> have done wrong.&nbsp; I've had to learn much over the past couple years of Blogging.&nbsp; Call it trial and error, but most of what I have learned about Blogging was learned here, and by doing it wrong.&nbsp; At times, I do see others doing the same things.&nbsp; Sharing my own experiences and shortcomings might help you save some time and frustration as you press onward toward your own Blogging aspirations and goals.

As diverse and expansive as online <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>networking</strong></span> can be, person to person <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>networking</strong></span> has given me a great advantage. I am currently on Twitter (pamrealestate), Linkedin, Facebook, and of course Activerain (pamindelraybeach), but my membership in a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">network</span></strong> called "<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Network Professionals</strong></span> Inc. <img title="NPI Florida" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/3/6/5/6/ar125199453165638.gif" height="100" alt="" width="100" /><a href="http://www.npifloida.com">www.npifloida.com</a>&nbsp;has proven to be a great way to meet potential customers and contacts on a one-on- one level. I have found that people use people who they "know, like and trust". <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Network Professionals Inc.(NPI)</span></strong> has allowed me the opportunity to act as a resource to my customers. I know a good plumber, roofer, personal injury attorney etc. The most important benefit is that I have a group of professionals who know me and know that they can trust me for all of their real estate needs and therefore feel comfortable referring me and pitching my services to their friends, relatives and colleagues. With all of the great online social <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">networking</span></strong> out there, you should never forget the power of person-to-person <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>networking</strong></span>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote></div><div class='agent_signature'><p>Karina Leal</p> <p>Leal USA Realty</p> <p><a href="http://www.karinaleal.com">http://www.karinaleal.com</a></p> <p>561-350-3503</p> <p><a href="mailto:karina@lealusa.com">karina@lealusa.com</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div> Karina Leal, Delray Beach Broker Boynton Beach, Boca Raton (lealusa.com) (Leal USA Realty 561-350-3503) Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:11:19 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1224015/delray-beach-florida-the-power-of-personal-networking- http://activerain.com/blogsview/1222548/2-2-condo-for-rent-on-the-intracoastal-at-the-yacht-club-hypoluxo-florida-for-1-200-per-month-with-water-views 2/2 Condo for Rent on the Intracoastal at the Yacht Club Hypoluxo Florida for $ 1,200 per month with Water Views <div style="color: #6F6F65;"><table cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%" cellpadding="10" width="100%"> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="740"> <tr> <td></td> <td height="20"> <div style="background-color: #4B532A; color: #FDF8D8; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px;"><strong>KARINA LEAL</strong> | Leal USA Realty<a href="http://www.postlets.com/email_interest.php?pid=2680370&amp;v=rt" style="color: #FDF8D8;"></a> | 561-350-3503</div> </td> </tr> </table> <table cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-left: 1px solid #e7e6d7; border-right: 1px solid #e7e6d7;" width="740"> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="7" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="background-color: #e7e6d7;"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td height="30"><div style="color: #8E0700;">160 Yacht Club Way, Hypoluxo, FL</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="560"> <div style="color: #5E5E56;">A MUST SEE!

Its open nature will allow for the development of third-party import tools.</p> <p><strong>Exporting your posts from ActiveRain has been a long awaited feature</strong> that is now available to all members.&nbsp; The format is XML and can be manipulated in many different ways which I'll demonstrate in future posts.&nbsp; Special thanks to our tech team for making this possible.&nbsp; This new feature will allow you to backup and export your Blog posts with a single click.</p> <p><strong>The first thing you are probably asking yourself</strong> is what the heck is XML?&nbsp;

You are saving a file to a specified location on your computer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Step 4:</strong><br />The pop-up window below will appear.&nbsp; Select "<strong>Save File</strong>" to your desktop, and click <strong>OK</strong>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/5/5/5/6/ar125002326665553.png" height="317" alt="" width="444" style="border: 1px solid black;" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/2/9/0/5/ar125002336150921.png" height="102" alt="" width="143" style="float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" /></p> <p><strong>Step 5:</strong><br />You will have a zipped or compressed file on your desktop containing the XML file with all your Blog entries.<br /><br /><em>(if file is not on desktop, check the location you saved it to, often times it will default to your "Downloads" folder located in your "My Computer" folder.)</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/7/2/1/5/ar125002349851273.png" height="98" alt="" width="144" style="float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Step 6: </strong><br />When you "Double Click" on the zipped file, it will extract the .XML file to your desktop</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Step 7:</strong><br />To open and view this file, or to use with any XML compatible formats and programs, right click your mouse on it and select the program you wish to open it in.&nbsp; For this example, I am going to use a simple text editor application on my computer called TEXT EDIT.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/0/5/5/4/ar125002368645507.png" height="275" alt="" width="460" /></p> <p><strong>Step 8:</strong><br />You can now see the XML format of your entire ActiveRain Blog.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/2/9/0/9/ar125002374990929.png" height="484" alt="" width="476" style="border: 1px solid black;" /></p> <p><strong>Now don't go passing out on me </strong><em>(LOL~)</em> understand that XML formats are a complex and more complicated format than most of us are used to working with or seeing, however, there will be a multitude of ways that this data can be used by other programs and sources.&nbsp; You cannot hurt your ActiveRain Blog by messing around and experimenting with this file.&nbsp; It is already exported from AR to your computer and will not affect your AR blog in any way.&nbsp; You have now successfully downloaded and backed up your entire ActiveRain Blog and every post in it.</p> <p><strong>I'll try and post some more advanced information on ways this can be used in the near future</strong>, but for now, at least you know how to access and download it to your computer.&nbsp; Baby steps, just baby steps before we show you how to run the 100 yard dash with it.&nbsp; I'm sure there will be many questions, and ideas generated by this post, so please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts.&nbsp; I'll do my best to get your questions answered in an accurate and timely manner.</p><div class='agent_signature'><div>&nbsp; <a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=xa-4a8af50b0b3c81e7"><img style="border:0" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" alt="Bookmark and Share" width="125" height="16" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
