About once a week I will take a look at google and see how my keywords are doing. As a result of Active Rain, I have always been on page 1 for a couple searches, like San Francisco Home Loan and San Francisco Loan Officer, but have seen some crazy changes just today!
I haven't really seen my website get pushed up much, it would just have my work on Active Rain. Actually, my website was no where to be found. However, today, saw some amazing results. I went in and placed these searches:
San Francisco Mortgage Company
San Francisco Mortgage
San Francisco Loan Officer
San Francisco Home Loan
San Francisco Loan
San Francisco Mortgage Broker Page 4 ;(
My website (www.jonathanvettermortgage.com), not my work on Active Rain, was on Page 1 on every one of the searches! That is crazy.

THIS PAT ON THE BACK IS FOR YOU ACTIVE RAIN!!!
I did work on my keywords and tags on the website, but haven't done anything other than that and working Active Rain hard.
Another reason anyone interested in seeing results should put their extra efforts into Active Rain, it will help you to get noticed, but you have to do it the right way..
I will have to say that there are a few people that have given me advice along the way, and I appreciate there efforts, whether they know it or not. Thank you. Here are a few.

Thank you Active Rain, and everyone involved in the community. I think in the long run, it all will pay off.
Also, if you have any other keywords I am missing that I should be using, list them for me, I am grately appreciative!
One last request. I have a 0 pagerank right now, will these things add to my chances of getting ranked, or does the page rank stem from just the content of the site alone. Anyhelp is appreciated!
