The Internet is a fabulous venue for promoting Real Estate. This last week as many of you may or may not know there has been a long protracted dialogue on the_Community_Update_Post_on_Activerain to the tune of 160 comments and counting.
At first the entire dialogue was about a decision to stop points for listings. That was subsequently worked out and points were restored. A full decision on how it will be monitored has not been verbalized or written about as of yet. The dialogue on the other hand has continued on spawning several side issues.
One such side issue debates the merit of chastising those that steal content visa vie listings of others for thier own use without the permission of the originator. It is an interesting dialogue and has merit on several sides of the issue.
The question about the use of ones own information specifically an exclusive listing and its promotion by others with or with out permission caused me to start wondering where I might find information on my listings like 437_NE_Webster_as_seen_on_Homes.com for instance.
Subsequently for the past few days I have been doing some searching to find out just how many places I can find this little gem of a home ( 437 NE Webster ) in Portland Oregon. I am sure there are many more sites than these few that I have initially found. Boy of boy was I surprised at what I have found so far.

I am also sure that some of my other web sites have reciprocal links as well.
In fact my Alamode site at Portland_Real_Property_._Com has a button on the home page that links to Out_of_State_Homes_For_Sale. There I link to several States that display my listings on their web site as I display their listings on my web site.
