It's not a secret that the people within the Real Estate industry, REALTOR®s are always extremely busy. Especially during peak seasons such as Spring when the market is hot. Perhaps, this is one of the main reasons why the words "Change," "Internet Marketing," "Social Media," "New Website," "Blogging," make some Realtors a bit uncomfortable. REALTOR®s are however, early adopters of technology that "immediately" enhances their daily routine such as iPhones, Blackberries, and other PDA devices - for them these tools are a no brainer - they are an essential. So, please join me as I talk about the "The Top 3 Marketing Services REALTOR®s Really Need Help with Today" and give you a few tips on how you can help educate your REALTOR®s that these marketing tactics are indeed "essential" and in fact most will not see the results they are use to if they don't take immediate action.

Memorial Day Weekend

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Sun, 25 May 2008 20:02:11 -0500

It's not just a 3-day weekend, it's a time to remember those who have fought for our country and for our freedom. From ages nineteen to ninety, the men and women who have served in and on our military forces deserve your respect and appreciation this weekend.

To my brother, Ranger Graves - you will ALWAYS be my hero! Love, Sis

Google Sells Search Engine Optimization side of Performics

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 22:12:19 -0500

Since Google acquired Performics, many SEO guru's have been concerned about the ethics involved with Google acquiring the company’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) division. Google has just announced that while they intend to keep the affiliate marketing division, they have decided to sell the Search Engine Optimization side of Performics.

For more information, read Google’s blog post about it

This is good news - to the "little guys" like me! Plus with Google's claim early on that "search engine rankings can't be guaranteed" this would really have been a conflicting, dare I say unethical, division to add to their fold.

SearchFeature.com provides a giggle about Google with Simpleton's main concern about the acquisition being:
Forget about the backlash from thousands of search engine optimizers, can you imagine Google trying to manage the annual Christmas party fights between their optimization team and their web spam team?

SEO vs. PPC

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:52:58 -0500

An associate of mine contacted me a few weeks ago asking me to handle a PPC campaign for her and I refused. I don't do PPC! PPC is a temporary (and expensive) fix to having your site found in the search engines - and more often than not, your ROI is rarely recouped.

I told her if her client wants to throw away her money like that, just send ME a check for doing absolutely nothing instead of sending it to the PPC companies who are already making tons of cash off of people/companies. While a PPC company returns virtually nothing in the form of real leads I will at the least send a thank you card!

A lot of readers might disagree with this statement, and that's fine, different strategies work with different people, but my personal experience in managing PPC campaigns for agents is that zero (yes NONE) of those clients were (a) happy with their ROI (b) happy with me after spending hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars on PPC campaigns that netted them a big fat goose egg.

So - I don't offer PPC services any longer, haven't in a few years. It's a waste of money. I always recommend that an agent spend that money on search engine optimization services so that their sites are naturally ranked higher in the search engines.

My theory is this, let's say you have a budget of $500 a month to spend on marketing and you choose to spend it on a PPC campaign...I can tell you in advance that you'd be lucky to score one client/sale off of that campaign...so let's say 8 months down the road, after spending $4,000 on fruitless marketing efforts you're financially strapped and can no longer afford the $500 month budget for marketing. Where are you now? You're without a marketing budget and just as low in the search engine rankings as you were when you started.

So what have you accomplished? Absolutely nothing!

Find an SEO expert and work on your rankings!! Quit throwing your money away because most home buyers who Google online do NOT click on the paid advertisements...and here's a little secret - the ones who ARE clicking on your paid advertisements are probably your competitors!

New visual search engine: SearchMe

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:05:36 -0500

I’m not sure how many of you have seen this new search engine that is in beta testing right now – but it looks freakin’ amazing.

http://www.searchme.com/

The importance of a good design is going to be an essential part of marketing your site in the future. Now that SearchMe is coming out, I see this as making a huge impact on the way people literally *view* your web site and decide whether or not to visit.

Originally when I started designing sites, I was heavy on the flash and graphics, but started drifting away from that when I started studying Search Engine Optimization. I relied more on search engine rankings and the description of the site that appeared on Google.

With SearchMe, it’s going to be a delicate balancing act of good SEO and amazing design.

Time are a changing…

SEO: Is the word "and" a "stop word" for titles?

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:20:58 -0500

An important thing to remember in search engine optimization is that using the word "and" in a page title means you should have two different pages as opposed to combining two phrases on one page.

What does this mean?

If you're an agent who supports many cities in a particular area/county, you (or your webmaster) may have combined city names (or counties) in your page title. For instance your page title may read:

"North Dallas and Collin County homes for sale"

This is not the right way to market your page.

The search engines when crawling your page will delete the "and" from your page title. So what you're really optimizing your page for is: North Dallas Collin County homes for sale. Not many people will search Google for this phrase.

Your best approach would be to drop the "and" and split the page into 2 different pages. One page being "North Dallas homes for sale" and the other being "Collin County homes for sale"

Always remember to use one page for one subject. Don't combine terms or subjects and you'll find yourself ranking higher in the search engines.

Google now offers SEO services

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:27:46 -0500

Google has acquired DoubleClick Performics (http://www.performics.com). So what does this mean? There's no sure-fire way to tell at this point, however I have heard both good, bad and indifferent comments regarding the acquisition.

Amongst talk groups, I've seen comment such as "who said a search engine optimization company couldn't guarantee rankings?" and "...the era where someone can rank a site strategically without Google financially benefitting from it is going to come to an end."

Others don't see it as anything to be worried about "...it seems to be one very minor part of the company, and very basic at that."

One thing is for sure that a lot of SEO experts deem this to be somewhat of a conflict of interest...the question is, will Google consider it a conflict of interest? If not, they should. For a company such as Google to own a company that provides SEO services, no matter how small a part of the total operation of the business they acquired - it would be highly unlikely that they would choose to continue with that path of the business.

While SEO is a small part of DoubleClick's offerings, we simply can not predict today what Google's intentions are with the company.

But we will wait, and watch.

Settlement Room was Sold?

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:39:08 -0600

I must of missed something somewhere. I just heard that SettlementRoom was sold about a month ago. Has anyone heard anything about this? We think it was sold to Emphasystems but I can't find anything on the actual sale to verify that. Has anyone else heard about this or have any additional information?

Craig's List Scam

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:16:25 -0600

A post by one of our IREAA members has certainly caught our attention, it reads:

Recently, I was encountered by a situation relating to one of my client's "For Sale" listings, that I had posted
on Craig's list. It's a long story, but I'll try to sum it up.

Someone had taken the post that I created and changed the text to read that this was a rental property with a very low rent, changed the "Reply To" email address slightly so that it still resembled my client's email address (they used a Yahoo Email) and reposted this ad in the Rental Homes section. People began to respond to the ad.

One woman, who thought the reply she received looked a bit fishy, decided to dig further and found my clients real ad and email address. She forwarded us the response she received from the con artisit to her "request for more info". The message was designed to look as if it was coming from a legitimat real estate agent, my client, and spoke about how "her client", the person renting out the home, was a Roman Catholic Priest and away in Nigeria on a mission. It stated that she was left in charge of renting the property out to a "nice person like yourself" and the rent was so low because he wanted to make sure he got good tenants.

As I was in the process of investigating this with Craig's List, about a half hour later my client called back to tell me someone was at the door of the property (her listing client's home) looking to move in. They had paid someone an amount of money, equal to the rent, for immediate occupancy in the home.

Now I know you'll say, "what kind of idiot would just give a stranger money for a home they never saw", just like I said. That's not the point really, we don't know the circumstances. People go to desperate measures and take chances when they are in certain situations, especially if it comes to putting a roof over their families head.

My client was extremely concerned about her name and reputation being tarnished. We decided against taking all listings out of Craig's list since this could have happened on any of the internet listing sites, even the public MLS. I now check the listings daily on these sites and have set up Google Alerts for all the properties. If I had a Google Alert set up for that one I, most likely, would have seen the rental ad when it was posted.

Fitness Goals for 2008 - Boot Camp Plano

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:30:02 -0600

If you're writing down your goals for 2008, be sure to include not just your business goals but your personal goals which should include taking care of yourself and living healthier in 2008.

Over the past 10 years, I have been working such odd hours that I find it impossible to stick to a workout schedule because each day varies greatly. Last summer I quit making excuses and took action.

My personal solution was joining City Boot Camp. City Boot Camp offers Boot Camps in Plano and Allen. City Boot Camp also offers Small Group Sessions and Personal Training as well. Chris Sider, owner, is great at motivation and keeping you hustling...and the friends that I have made during the Boot Camps (finished 3 now) will be friends for life! Something about grunting, groaning and sweating together really bonds people! :)

I'm not being paid to post this, I'm just so happy with the results! You can see my personal results on the Testimonials page with a before and after shot. It's the 2nd testimonial titled "Are you a fat mom? I was!"

I have 25 more pounds to go before summer gets here...and I'm going to do it! That's just one of my goals for 2008 - wish me luck!

IMPORTANT: Internet Tax Moratorium Could Expire Today!

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 12:15:57 -0500

Today is the deadline! Join the fight to defend our clicks from being taxed and throw your virtual tea bag into the harbor by visiting "Don't Tax Our Web," at http://www.dtow.org/fight.
Let our government know you won't stand for their proposed duplicative, discriminatory, duplicative taxes on Internet goods and services!

Below you will find some timely information that I received today from Melanie O'Kane, Virtual Assistant, Author & Editor at MAD Typing and Consulting in Madison, Wisconsin (http://www.mad-typing-and-consulting.com/ ) in regards to the Internet Tax Moratorium.

Today is the day that the Internet Tax Moratorium (ITM) expires! Don't know what the ITM is? Allow me to explain.

As reported by Fox News last month: "The original Internet Tax Freedom Act of 1998 created the tax-free moratorium, which Congress extended two times. Legislation introduced in both Houses this year would make the ban permanent."

But there are those who want the ITM to expire. If this moratorium is allowed to expire, state and local governments will be free to impose taxes on Internet access, products and services purchased online, and
discriminatory fees that treat those purchases differently from other types of sales.

Proponents of allowing the ITM to expire want to tax our access to information and knowledge. They want to tax our "voice." They want to tax the unprecedented economic opportunity that exists on the Internet. As
Virtual Assistants the Internet has allowed us to be innovative, expand our businesses into new markets, increase our productivity, and integrate larger efficiencies into all aspects of our business operations.

Allowing the ITM to expire could change everything for us!

You just kissed that easy sale goodbye!

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 13:02:04 -0500

I wonder how some real estate agents ever get or keep clients - seriously, if you have an "I know it all" attitude and treat inquiries like they're *bothering* you - then why the heck are you in this business?

Here's the scenario: My mother-in-law retired earlier this year. She wants to relocate from Nevada to Texas to be here with the grandkids. I want her here desperately - I absolutely adore my mother-in-law and can you say babysitter?

She's been fixing her house up this year to sell and she's ready to put it on the market. So it's time to start looking for houses here. To help out, I've been scouting out homes in the immediate area on her behalf and sending her links to view houses online. We have certain criteria that she must be close enough for the kids to walk to or ride their bike to without having to cross any major streets, so we're talking a 5 block radius.

A house came up for sale down the street several weeks ago. This house is ideal -did I mention the babysitter would be just down the street? - but to date there's still not any flyers nor are there any pictures online. After waiting a few weeks, I decided to call the agent to get some additional information.

THIS AGENT WAS RUDE! Rude, rude, rude...

I guess my first mistake was saying "hi I'm calling about this house that's for sale down the street." So I got the nosy-neighbor sarcastic response of "so you're planning to move down the block?" NO.

I told him that I was wanting information for my mother-in-law. His response was "so have your mother-in-law call me." At this point I'm ready to throttle this idiot.

So I went on to explain that my mother-in-law lives in Vegas and wants to move here. His next response was "is her house on the market yet?" No, no it's not. The next snotty response was that the owners wouldn't accept any contingencies and if we wanted to see the house we'd need to bring a pre-approval letter from a mortgage company.

That's not a problem because in this particular case her house in Vegas is paid in full AND she has the money in the bank to buy a $200k house outright so there's no reason for a loan. Additionally, my brother-in-law and his *partner* live in Vegas and can manage the upkeep, etc. for her if she chose to move here today...but again, this is not his concern nor is it a problem nor is it why I called him!

Basically the conversation went on and on - all I was looking for was a flyer and maybe some snapshots of the interior to send her for consideration. I wasnt' looking for an attitude, nor was I looking to be talked down to. I basically could of sold this house for this agent and instead, I was treated like a nosy-neighbor who was wasting this agents time.

Luckily there's about 5 other houses in the area for sale, Grandma Las Vegas will be here in a week to look at them and she'll hopefully be moved here by Thanksgiving. So, Mr. Snotty real estate agent, you just kissed that sale goodbye!

Lesson here? Take 5 minutes to listen to what the person on the other end of the phone has to say. I'm sure had he gotten the whole story beforehand he wouldn't of had as much of an attitude as he did. I can't help but giggle a little because the way I figure it, he lost an additional $6,000 in commissions because my M-I-L doesn't have a buyers agent here in Texas!

Way to go jerk!

I know not all agents act like this, this is just one bad banana in the bunch - I have a lot of agents that bend over backwards for their clients. Those are the agents I adore and the only kind of agent I'll ever work for!

Who gives a Flip? IREAA does!

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 18:16:36 -0500

The Flip Video Camcorder is a must have for real estate agents. I thought this recorder was like all other camcorders but it's not.

I can instantly see where real estate agents can take that extra step by using this cool tool during a listing presentation. Simply video some of the homes most outstanding features and you or your real estate virtual assistant can upload the file to your web site under featured listings or also to upload to YouTube. Very cool gadget for today's tech saavy agent!

We will also be interviewing agents, vendors and virtual assistants at our booth and you'll be able to see their interviews on the IREAA web site! Don't forget to stop by Booth 3951!

See you at NAR!

:-) turns 25 today!

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:39:32 -0500

This post is not technically savvy, nor does it provide industry information to set your business apart from others, but I would like to take a minute to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the smiley. Where would we be without emoticons in today's world of e-mails and electronic messages?

25 years ago today, Carnegie Mellon professor Scott E. Fahlman proposed the usage of :-) for messages with humor.

Now 25 years later we have an enormous amount of smiley's :) and winks ;-) which have morphed from the original smiley, as well as other emotions such as the sad emoticon :'(

If you'd like to read more, head on over to CNN.com to read about the history about the smiley and how it's evolved.

Blogging and Joomla and SEO

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 01:40:58 -0500

I recently changed my web site over to Joomla (Content Management System). As a web site designer, this was very hard for me to do and I'm still learning the ins and outs of Joomla on a daily basis. Deciding to go to a Joomla format was very scary, I'm a designer, not a programmer and it was more than a little intimidating...but I did it! Here's my site: www.TheVirtualLink.com.

Yesterday I decided to try out an extension for Joomla that displays the titles of your latest blog posts. It took maybe all of about 10 minutes to set up. I was floored.

Now, each time I create a new blog here at Active Rain, my site will be updated with the title of that entry. This is exciting for me because without touching my web site, I'm actually updating the content on the site therefore deeming my site credible and relevant, which basically means that I'm helping my rankings in the search engines when I'm blogging here at Active Rain.

Cool! :)

Now, is the time to do this for yourself and your business.
But, don't be tardy, this special is only good through September 15, 2007.

Click here to save $200 now!

What do you want from your Assistant?

Anna Baron (The Virtual Link) — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 00:17:37 -0500

I know agents that spend several hours per week reading industry e-zines and articles, reviewing new softwares and technologies as well as researching the latest in technology and industry gadgets. The results? You spend hours of your time researching tools and techniques that are rarely put to use.

So what if you instead delegated the task to your assistant by providing them with an organization that consists of both virtual assistants and in-house assistants who are highly knowledgeable in the latest and greatest tools and techniques being used in the industry?

IREAA (International Real Estate Assistants Association) is an organization that I co-founded with Kim Hughes and Pam Ivey. The organization was originally founded to assist virtual assistants, however we found that in-house assistants had a desire to further their education in order to be of more assistance to their employers.

We have found that in-house assistants have a *thirst* to absorb as much as possible and honestly, any agent that doesn't invest in this thirst for knowledge is only hindering their own ability to be more productive and make more money. If they have that desire, why not take advantage of it to further their education as well as free up your time to work on money generating activities?

So here's the questions that will help us help you. Give me 5 minutes of your time to answer some questions and we will award a one year free membership (randomly selected) for one agent who takes the time to respond to these questions...

1. Would you be willing to invest $75 per year to enroll your assistant into an organization that will help them help you?

2. If you would not be willing to invest in your assistant can you explain why? There can be several reasons why, for example, maybe you think they should pay for their own organization dues, perhaps your office provides in-depth thorough training on all aspects of assistance you may need, or maybe you just don't see it as a true value? Whatever the reason, be honest - but be gentle! :)

3. If you are willing to invest in your assistant, what would be the ONE thing your assistant could learn to help you be more productive?

4. Do you have an easy time letting go of projects or are you more of a micro-manager?

5. If there was one software that you could train your assistant on to help you build your business, what would that software be?

6. How many hours a week do you think you could save if your assistant could handle more of your administrative and marketing tasks?

7. What administrative or marketing tasks do you refuse to hand off to an assistant? And why?

Thank you for your time and I'll announce the winner on August 20th. And by the way, IREAA will be at booth 3951 at NAR in Las Vegas in November. If you still have questions or want to know more about the organization, please stop by and visit us!
