Just musing today and staring at my keyboard, I was gently reminded by my friend Betina that I have not written a post in a week.  Why?  I don't really have an excuse, reason or can not put my finger on one.  Just haven't had the heart?

So I am determined to pull myself out of this slump, and I started looking at some of my old posts, you do know that they are still active don't you.  Some of them just keep growing, people keep searching for things and viola, an old post pops up.  So that's all good.  While I was looking at my statistics I ran into something that I thought was odd.  Not bad odd, just different, I wrote a post last Sept, 2008 about   Do you charge buyers a transaction fee?  Simple little post for opinions.  to my suprise it was featured and became a source of conversation for a bit. As of this date that post has had over 3200 views.  That completely amazed me.  Most of my old posts have from 400-1100 views. 3,200 people have read that post. Three Thousand Two Hundred!

Why?  I don't think I can answer that.  What I can say is, never forget what you write lives past this moment, this day, this week.  Good, bad or indifferent it is out there.  Say what you mean but don't be mean about it would be a few words to the wise.

Gail - Wise words to live by , I try to post relevant information and/or suggestions always with humor or a positive spin. No negative comments or stories and definitely nothing vulgar.

Gail - Good advice.  I find myself not reading those that tend to rage every post.  I have no time to listen to them vent on trivial matters.  Share an opinion, knowledge, or seek information - it is the essence of AR - not to pontificate.  Having a negative raging post wandering around virtuality is not good for anybody - especially our industry if it is topical to real estate.  Slump over?

Public posts will always continue to gain exposure, that's one of the things that makes them so great.

Gail - amazing number!  One of my posts that had the highest clicks was one about Chihuahua puppies!  The more we get ourselves out there the higher our chances of being remembered!
