- 09/13/10 10:55 AM
I just read this slam on Internet culture..... We're not liked much by certain authors.... It appears that we have too much control in this Web 2.0 generation. User content is dictating what is cool, and what is worth it... this covers everything from homes, to the kinds of foods we eat..... This is interesting to me....

real estate and search engine optimization: Getting 9 Out of 10 Spots on Google For Investment Properties - Chicago Real Estate SEO
- 09/11/10 02:56 AM
This one I have to share with my Chicago guys, its just too unbelievable......18 Months ago I was contacted by an Investment group that specialized in turnkey properties.

This is the place where people are leaving … (0 comments)

They forget to change the titles on each and every page. That is a serious screw up...The other mistake is even worse. A lot of agents take their domain name and literally cloak the entire site.

But if you are really in the mode of getting the word out then you should be ecstatic.WHAT IS VIRAL MARKETING?Last year I had a woman at a health food … (2 comments)
