Over the the last 2 years, I have been learning all I can from the great coaches here on ActiveRain, and usually, I use most of that knowledge every day in my blog posts. However, I caught myself making simple mistakes lately with my blog structure.

As I was telling my workshop attendees on Tuesday, if the blog isn't structured correctly, Google will not index the post in the most efficient manner.  I'm not an SEO expert, but this is what I learned from reading SEO posts here on activerain.

1. Write a keyword rich title that expresses benefits
2. Open your real estate blog post with a keywords that mirror the title, and  expressing the benefit to the consumer..
3. Use your prime keyword or key phrase at least 4 times in your post.
4. Link to other websites that will offer readers more information on the given topic.
5. Link to other posts on your own blog that will give more insight on the topic.
6. Format the post with heading tags, bolded text, numbered lists and/or bullet points
7. Close with a call to action asking readers to subscribe to your blog, contact you, fill out your lead generation tool or search for a home  

We will talk about this in out next workshop on Tuesday.

• If there's something special you want to do, now is the time...
• If you want to make a difference in the world, now is the time.
• Don't be fooled into thinking you should wait until you are older or wiser or more 'secure' - because it doesn't work that way.
• The wisdom will come. The security will come. But first you must begin your adventure."

Random Thoughts for the day

•  I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
  
•  Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong 
  
•  Was learning cursive really necessary?
  
•  Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
  
•  I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
  
•  Bad decisions make good stories.
  
•  You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
  
• Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
• I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
• "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.
  
•  I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
• I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
  
• I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

Lou Dobbs and CNN parted ways recently, and even though he has always had one of the top rated programs, he had been asked to stop stating his opinion. According to him, this all started when he brought up the fact that Obama hasn't supplied a birth certificate. I believe this is another case where the administration is attempting to shut off journalist who ask too many questions.

Once you have started seeing the beauty of life,
ugliness starts disappearing.
If you start looking at life with joy,
sadness starts disappearing.
You cannot have heaven and hell together,
you can have only one.
It is your choice.
