On ActiveRain, we always here success stories about agents who see their business skyrocket because of their blogging efforts. However, the results of blogging aren't always good.

A few months back I wrote a blog post about how Cache Valley Real Estate is changing. About how it's not nearly as rural a place as it was when I visited it as a child. The Cache Valley area recently reached the 100,000 population mark, officially making it a "metro area." In this article I also talked about how there are still very rural areas in Cache Valley. I thought my article was very positive, but apparently I am the bad guy. Here is a comment I got from that post the other day:

"Mr. Alen Barker Why are you trying to destroy the farm land in Cache Valley? We already have more people hear then I or anyone else that lives out in the country wants. So I would rely appreciate it if you did not try and give me neighbors that i do not want, and push me out of business as a farmer by buying the the land that I have to have at development prices that i can not afford. You don't care about this because you have only lived here for three years and you live in Logan where you are already surrounded by houses. You don't know what it usede to be like, or the beauty that you are destroying by promoting this. It is not somthing that can be shared. My great grandpa came here in his early twenties to farm and that is what my family have been doing ever since. It breaks my heart to see the land get covered up by houses."

I guess we can't always be winners by blogging.
