      <title>Tips for using MyAgentRank&#8482; on ActiveRain</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MyAgentRank&#8482; is a free web &quot;widget&quot; available from RealtyBaron.com.  MyAgentRank&#8482; badges enable real estate agents to showcase their professional track record on websites and blogs.  Readers of your website or blog can click through to your profile page on AgentRank.com to learn more about your background, recent sales, and client endorsements.&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;Today, I am thrilled to see &lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogs/joslynpanka&quot;&gt;a MyAgentRank&#8482; badge&lt;/a&gt; for the first time appear on ActiveRain.  Naturally, I want to help you optimize your badge so it starts pulling in referrals for you from the ActiveRain community.&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;First, put some space between the top and bottom of the badge by adding line breaks:&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;pre&gt;
&lt;code&gt; 
&amp;lt;br /&gt;  
&amp;lt;!-- code for MyAgentRank(TM) widget --&gt; 
....your widget code..... 
&amp;lt;!-- code for MyAgentRank(TM) widget --&gt; 
&amp;lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;Next, align your badge in the center of the sidebar by wrapping the widget code in a a DIV tag:&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;pre&gt; 
&lt;code&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&gt; 
&amp;lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center;&quot;&gt;   
&amp;lt;!-- code for MyAgentRank(TM) widget --&gt; 
....your widget code..... 
&amp;lt;!-- code for MyAgentRank(TM) widget --&gt; 
&amp;lt;/div&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&gt;  
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;Finally, send out as many client endorsement requests as you can.  Recent sales are always great, but glowing reviews from past clients on your badge are like gold!&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;P.S.  The MyAgentRank&#8482; badge will be getting a face lift soon.  For starters, we'll begin offering various sizes and orientation.  Plus, we'll be adding more ranking components to the badge such as market forecasts and networking strength.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
