Brad shares how to improve your outside blog and create a strong presence for those who are in search for expert in their given field.</p></p><div id="reblogging_tag">Via <b><a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/2576794/top-10-activerain-outside-blog-tips">Brad Andersohn (Zillow - Outreach Manager)</a></b>:<br/><blockquote><p><strong>ActiveRain Outside Blogs offer members the opportunity to have a "stand alone" presence</strong> outside the network and they are included with the rainmaker memberships.&nbsp; I still get many questions on how to set these up and the most common question is "How do you customize it so it's not like anyone elses blog?"</p> <p><strong>Here are my top 10 best practices and tips</strong> for those Rainer's wanting to maximize their outside blogs.</p> <p>1. Select a theme that works best for you, your brand, your company and target audience.&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/5/0/0/6/ar131981448360054.png" height="158" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="500" /></p> <p>2. Utilize all the features and tools available form the dashboard toolbar.&nbsp; (<em>you must be logged in</em>)</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/1/6/1/9/ar131981539491611.png" height="30" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="509" /></p> <p>3. To customize the CSS formatting, colors, backgrounds etc. and if you're a techy, use the Chameleon theme.<br /><em>I like it because I can make sure my blog won't ever look like anyone elses.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/2/4/4/0/ar131981460404429.png" height="185" alt="" width="161" />&nbsp; <img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/1/2/8/8/ar131981462688213.png" height="186" alt="" width="208" /></p> <p><strong>Maximize your SEO, analytics, and widgets by implementing the tools made available.</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>4. I highly recommend the "<strong>Google Search</strong>" which magnetically draws the Google spiders to your site.&nbsp; Since this is a Google product and tool, I can assure you that they follow its placement and use very diligently.&nbsp; Make sure you have plenty of content on your site first, you don't want to draw Google attention to your site if you only have 3 or 4 posts there.</p> <p>5. Adding the "<strong>Analytics"</strong> tool helps so you know what's working best, and tracking your visitors and target audience couldn't be made any easier. You can't add the Google analytics to your ActiveRain blogs, but you can add it to your outside blogs.&nbsp;</p> <p>6. Each of these tools available adds additional value to your outside blogs but it's your content that matters the most. Great content on ANY blog will garner traffic and create business opportunities.&nbsp; Allow those that find you the chance to get notified&nbsp; via email every time you post something by adding the "<strong>feedburner</strong>" widget. Let people subscribe to your blog.</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/2/3/3/4/ar131981481643328.png" height="438" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="247" /></p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: <em><strong>MyBlogLog</strong> and <strong>Retaggr</strong> are no longer services that are available on the web.</em></p> <p>7. Give your outside blog a Kick-Arse custom domain name (<em>it's included</em>) making it easy to search for your site, find your site, and easy for you and clients/targets to remember.&nbsp; What's in a name?&nbsp; Everything, so try to incorporate the most important aspects of your blog in the title to get the most impact and results.&nbsp; Including Hyper-local if you can is always a good thing.</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/8/4/8/4/ar131981515748481.png" height="113" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="325" /></p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> <em>The "Internal" URL is your back-end dashboard, the "Custom Domain" is the public view.</em></p> <p>8. Adding good "links" and using great anchor text for "calls to action" is a key traffic generator and lead capture opportunity that often times gets over-looked and most often under-utilized.&nbsp; Think about what would make someone absolutely have to click on these links and trust me, they will.&nbsp; I can prove this by just having you create a link similar to this one that says something like... <strong><a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=activebradsblog" title="If you do click here, you were warned :-)" target="_blank">"DON'T CLICK HERE!"</a>&nbsp; </strong><em>haha~</em><strong><br /></strong></p> <p><strong>Adding links is easy: </strong> Just paste the URL in the Link box, and place the anchor text in the Title box<strong>.<br /></strong></p> <p><strong><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/2/4/4/1/ar131981670014424.png" height="265" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="468" /></strong></p> <p><em>BTW -&nbsp; Did you click on the DON'T CLICK HERE link?&nbsp; lol~&nbsp;</em></p> <p>9. The last thing you should know is that the SEO (<em>search engine optimization</em>) on outside blogs carries a great deal of weight in the SERPS (<em>search engine results page</em>) which is great for your ROI (<em>return on investment</em>) since ultimately the people you are trying to reach and get in front of are the ones that will find you when searching the Internet.</p> <p>Google search results DO matter, and where you land on the page makes all the difference in the world.</p> <p><a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=activebradsblog" title="Yeah, but Google says... and remember that no one clicks on page TWO!!" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/3/1/6/9/ar131981818296138.png" height="302" alt="" style="border: 1px solid black; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="500" /></a></p> <p><strong>10. All of these tips and best practices are to help you do one thing:</strong> create content that cultivates traffic/visitors which allows you to capture contacts and convert them to clients right?&nbsp; There are really ONLY two types of people out on the web and searching Google: Those that know you, and those that don't.&nbsp; Which audience is your target?&nbsp; Exactly! :-)</p> <p><strong>ActiveRain outside blogs are one of the best and most powerful tools</strong> that I think ActiveRain offers its members, but then on the other side of that coin, the greatest tools and power of ActiveRain IS IT's MEMBERS!!</p> <p><a href="http://activebradsblog.com" title="To Visit My Blog &quot;Outside&quot; - CLICK HERE!" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/9/1/7/3/ar131981765137197.png" height="416" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="499" /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;Stop by anytime and check out my <strong>ActiveRain Outside Blog</strong> at <a href="http://activebradsblog.com" title="Active Brads Blog" target="_blank">http://ActiveBradsBlog.com</a></p> <div class="agent_signature"><p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;"><a href="http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/subscribe?subscribed_agent_id=22617" title="ActiveRain Members - Subscribe Here" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/9/4/1/0/ar130997890201494.jpg" height="20" alt="" width="221" /></a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=219333" title="Get Email Updates Automatically" target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/6/2/4/4/ar130997893344262.jpg" height="20" alt="" width="184" /></a> &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13.3px; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://bradsdomain.com" target="_blank">Tutorials</a> | <a href="http://zillowacademy.com/" title="Zillow Academy" target="_blank">Training</a> |</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <a href="http://zillow.com/mobile" title="Zillow Mobile Solutions" target="_blank">Mobile</a> |</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <a href="http://zillow.com/webtools/widgets" title="Zillow Widgets" target="_blank">Widgets</a><em> </em></span><a href="http://zillow.com/profile/bradandersohn" title="If I'm not here on AR, You'll find me over here." target="_blank"><br /></a><a href="http://zillow.com/profile/bradandersohn" title="If I'm not here on AR, You'll find me over here." target="_blank"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/4/5/5/9/ar128837054595542.jpg" height="24" alt="" width="80" /></a></p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /><em>"May this blog be just one more planted seed of wisdom that helps you or your business blossom today!</em>"<em></em></p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;"><em><br /><a href="http://activerainrealestatenetwork.ourtoolbar.com/exe" title="Download the AR HELP Toolbar - FREE" target="_blank"><img title="Download the AR HELP Toolbar - FREE" src="http://bradsdomain.com/AR/ARToolbar.jpg" height="19" alt="ActiveRain HELP Browser Toolbar" width="536" /></a></em></p> <p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: center;"><em><br /></em></p></div></blockquote></div> Long Island Events: The Polar Bear Club in Long Beach NY by Laura Cerrano http://activerain.com/blogsview/2804852/long-island-events-the-polar-bear-club-in-long-beach-ny-by-laura-cerrano 2012-02-05T17:47:33Z Laura Cerrano and Carole Provenzale Owner, Feng Shui Long Island & New York (Feng Shui Long Island & New York City/Feng Shui Manhattan ) <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Long Island Events: The Polar Bear Club in Long Beach NY by Laura Cerrano</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><br /></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/6/6/0/0/ar132848156700666.jpg" height="296" alt="" width="447" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">When it's Super Bowl time, you it's time for The Polar Bear Splash at Long Beach New York.

I paid $1,550 for the ASUS Zenbook UX31E (their top of the line model) on 11/21/11 from New Egg.com.&nbsp; On 11/28/11 I received the computer and began using it.&nbsp; It worked fine for the first four weeks and then began having problems starting up.&nbsp;&nbsp;On&nbsp;1/14/12 it&nbsp;didn't start at all and&nbsp;on 1/17/12 I sent it in to be serviced as instructed by ASUS (it was now&nbsp;just beyond NewEgg's 30 day guarantee).&nbsp;&nbsp;They received the computer on 1/20/12.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have had no phone calls&nbsp;or e-mails from ASUS at all.&nbsp; I have to call their Customer Service hotline, which consists of people in Malaysia or some other foreign land peering at a computer screen reading back to me the exact same information I obtain from the ASUS Service website.&nbsp; It is now almost two weeks and there is no indication on when my computer will be returned.&nbsp; The ASUS Service site states, "Waiting [WB-1] Wait for Material/Spare Parts".&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, I've had it!&nbsp; I'm starting a social media campaign to put pressure on ASUS to either fix my machine or send me a new one!&nbsp; My client files are on that computer and it is very difficult to work without my files.&nbsp; Please reblog this post and Tweet it with the hashtags #ASUS #GailRobinson.&nbsp; Let's see if social media can work to get this arrogant giant's attention.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Gail</p> <div class="agent_signature"><p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/6/5/5/6/ar130692963365562.jpg" height="131" alt="" width="521" /></p> <p>&nbsp;<a href="http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/subscribe?subscribed_agent_id=21465" title="Subscribe to Gail Robinson's Blog" target="_blank"><img title="Active Rain Subscribe to Blog" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/1/2/1/8/ar129411305881214.gif" height="69" alt="Active Rain Subscribe to Blog" width="50" style="margin-left: 5px;

They will be excited for you once you show them how you have tied up all of the lose ends, and provided them with the same detailed list of information that you have given the trusted colleague. &nbsp;This shows them how important they are to you and assures them that your colleague is prepared to help them at any given time.</span></div> <div style="background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: transparent;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 24px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong>7.</strong> Inform friends, family, and clients to contact your trusted colleague in case of emergency.

Docusign it to me and I can sign it on my cell phone! &nbsp;</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 24px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong>5.</strong> Schedule &ldquo;needs and wants&rdquo; for when you return. Just because your seller has changed the color of the hand towel in the half bath, DOES NOT MEAN that you have to leave the spa in the middle of your massage to go and take a new picture of the &ldquo;remodeled&rdquo; half bath. </span><span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">WHY were you answering your phone during the massage in the first place?!

The opposite could be true. People may wonder why you can not manage your time well enough to take </span><span style="font-size: 24px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">even a day</span><span style="font-size: 24px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> off.

Recognize that you are not more important than, attorneys, bakers, &nbsp;CPA&rsquo;s, dishwashers, ditch diggers, doctors, firefighters, golf pros, nurses, pilots, police officers, professors, WalMart greeters, xylophone players, zoo keepers, or any other person.

We need to</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Release Negativity As Fast As Possible.</strong></p> <p>Think of all of it in life. Hurts, anger, pain, disagreement, cruelty, insensitivity, regret, worry, thoughtlessness, taking one for granted, selfishness, insult... the list goes on and on what any of us can be afflicted with by another at a given time. But we need to dump it as soon as possible, almost as if we wear a teflon suit. It won't go away quite that fast but to get rid of it:</p> <p>Distance yourself from the person inflicting the pain, resolve the issue with problem solving or better communication, perceive where they are coming from and it is THEIR problem not yours, focus on YOU and healing and helping YOU or your clients first. <strong>WHY? WHY I ask? Why do we have to dump negativity? It robs us of energy and happiness, like a plant blowing in the wind that needs a peaceful state for that contentment butterfly to properly land.</strong></p> <h2>Dump ALL negativity you have.
