Real Estate Weblogging 101

A blogger, in any profession, at some point will ask the question: Who am I? In fact other questions will quickly follow. Why am I blogging? Is my blog working? Do I need to make money from blogging to justify the effort? How come my blog isn’t as good as that blog?

These questions are very relevant since the whole Real Estate blogging space is currently experiencing explosive growth. More and more agents are giving it a “try”. So, my question is why is everyone jumping in? What is everyone seeking? Do you suppose that blogging is just another marketing sensation that will help you attract buyers in a down market?

Greg Swann, Teri Lussier and team, attempt to answer many of these type of questions in an online book called “Real Estate Weblogging 101”. Greg is the founder of BloodhoundBlog and Teri has her own successful blog called TheBrickRanch. REW101 is an ambitious project aimed at helping Real Estate agents understand blogging. It attempts to put a framework around a topic that is not very well understood. For example, we have all been to good blogs but can we really say why that blog was superior to another? REW101 provides some basis for comparison and understanding.

Well Written Blog, I went to the links as well and commented on one of them.  Perhaps you can help me to understand one thing that has been bothering me for a while now. Many Blogs encourage people to include their website by placing a website box right below the other user info, but then they stick a no-follow tag on it so that the search engines do give any credit for that link being there. Wouldn't it be more honest and fair for these blog owners to just not have people put their link on the blog as the link has virtually no value anyway.
