There are 13,000 of you who have an Active Rain blog AND active profiles on Zillow.  As of today, and thru collaboration with the good folks at AR, you now have a link from your Zillow profile to your Active Rain blog!  Just one more way people can find the great content so many of you produce.

If you have an active, PROFESSIONAL (not a regular user) account on Zillow, a link to your blog will automatically appear.  But we didn't stop there, you can now also add your Twitter handle, a link to your Facebook profile and a link to your LinkedIn information

I am really excited about this change because it is so important to tie everything you are doing socially, together on the web, to help build your online reputation. 

Steps to edit/add your Profile:

1) If you don't already have an active account, here is a link to start building your free Zillow profile.

2) Log on to the site and go to your Profile.  Click the Edit button. 

edit your zillow profile

3) Next, simply add your information in the respective fields.

add facebook, linkedin and twitter to zillow profile

4) And you are all done! 

zillow twitter facebook active rain blog

Big thanks to Active Rain for making this happen!  Also, don't forget that you can include even more (followed) links within the marketing text of your profile.  For example, link to some of your favorite or more helpful posts to drive even more traffic to them.

Very cool Sara. How about Zillow give us the ability to have our AR blog or any other blog go to Zillow via RSS? Now THAT would be really cool.

Thank you Sara! This is a very cool tool for AR members and Zillow users. I do have a Zillow profile to I use to upload my listings so I will have to see if this means I have a "Professional" account or if I am just a regular user! I love the idea of linking all of the social sites together!!!

Thanks for the great idea, Sara.  I setup my profile on Zillow about a month ago (but forgot about it!!!).  Your post timing couldn't have been better.  I just updated my Zillow profile, adding my blog link and a photo.  Keep it coming!

Hey all!  Sorry for the delayed response, I have been computerless for the last 24 hours (and somehow I survived!)  Glad to hear this has been easy for everyone to set up.

Byrant and all- RSS feeds are definitely on the to do list!  This was just our first roll out of social media connection products.  It is a little ways out yet, but coming!  I'll be sure to post about it when we have it!

Lane- No immediate plans to add a Fan Page link, but good suggestion.  You can definitely add the link within the marketing text though. 

Melissa- You indeed do have a professional acct, notice the "agent" badge by your name.  No "upgrades" necessary. I would recommend adding some links to your site in your mkting text though.  Also, you can add your cell phone # and your personal web address.  Otherwise, looks good!

Brad - We have added a ton of cool widgets.  Here is the full list if anyone is interested - http://www.zillow.com/webtools/widgets/

Steve- You can't add a AR badge to your Zillow profile.  But you can add a Zillow badge to your AR blog.  Here is a link to all of our badges - http://www.zillow.com/webtools/badges/
