Benn, (((blushing)))
Elizabeth, I do have that on my new cards. Remember when a company was offering 20 free cards with Google Me? I posted on it, so they came in the mail.
I just ordered a bunch more for my Holiday cards. LOL
Bill, how about the whole secondary......
Virginia, I have no clue if Google images pick it up, but I am on page 1 Google for photos in Ann Arbor. It happened pretty quick and I can thank Brad and Bobby at Dakno for that.
That's very impressive! I've got a lot of work to do in this arena. Thanks for posting all of this info, as I'll have to reread it several times and bookmark it to get the full scoop to model.
Yes, I find it too overwhelming since I do try to put up different posts on my website and on AR. Just 2 sites is enough to keep me busy along with my current transactions and taking care of my 2-yr old sweetheart. That in itself is a full time job. Nevertheless, it's been very important for me to make sure I do both very well.
Missy, My head is spinning!!! Webster's must show your photo under the definition of multi-tasking!
Missy, informative as always, and I'll have to come back to comment further, but its nighttime for me now...been alittle too busy with a grandmother in the hospital. I'll bookmark for a more thorough read when I can find the time.
I think that you can never have too much unless you can't keep up with them. Great blog!
Missy, This blog of yours is wonderful and very creative. It is fun to read what you write. By the way, I graduated from U of M in 1970 and was instrumental in shutting it down in protest of the Vietnam War. Seems like a long time ago and yesterday at the same time, because the cause is always on.
Missy, great resource for information regarding blogging platforms. Not sure I agree about the approach tho - at what point does it become too much, and our presence become a form of internet spamming. I believe a high quality blog with good SEO and internet ranking might be as effective, and avoid the appearance of spamming the internet. I've heard both sides of the debate.
Renee, thanks for commenting. My goal is to have the most exposure for my sellers. My second goal is to drive traffic to my search site, where buyers can find us to look for homes in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County.
There are many portals or ways a buyer searches, hense the different search engines.
Never heard of spamming the internet.
Google allows 10 spots on page 1 etc...
However, rarely does the same web-site or blog get two places. Depends on the key words used.
I like to be found on page 1 or 2 more many search terms, so by having more you sites you have a better opportunity to get the consumers looking to buy or sell.
Not spam at all, as I give good content.
Thanks for this list of great ideas. I look forward to using this blog as a to-do list to increase my online presence.
Hi Missy,
Thanks for sharing so much great information. You're a wealth of knowledge and I always enjoy reading your posts.
We currently have a Point 2 website that we are constantly customizing, but still aren't seeing a lot of results from it. We just signed up for Diverse Solutions IDX through Active Rain and have added it to the P2 site. Now I see everyone talking about Tiger. Did we make a mistake? Are we wrong to keep customizing the P2 site? I don't want to waste time on something that will never be fruitful.
How are you driving busines to your IDX site? I see you're using pay-per-click and directing your other website traffic there. What makes this site so effective compared to the others?
Our budget doesn't allow us to look into Dakno right now, but I will keep it in mind for the future. There are so many choices it can become paralyzing trying to figure out which options are the best.
Thanks for your insight!
I'm curiuos about http://annarborundressed.com/. How is that helping you to get leads? Does it route people to your main website? Which has more google juice, that site or your primary site?
wholly guacamole!!! and back links to boot! Good job on SEO and back linking to all your sites!
Tonya and Steve, your Point2 site "should" be fine if you optimize it and diverse solutions is great. If I didn't have a tiger site that is the one I would choose. I use my outside AR blog with Lead Router for Ann Arbor. So EVERY SITE I have leads back to Tiger or my SearchAnnArborHouses.com site.
Why?
Because it has Google Maps, Google Satellite Images, folks have to register and the back end where we manage our leads in fantastic. When you have a TEAM you have to know who is doing what, what is in the pipeline, how quickly they are calling, who is goofing off etc.
The PPC site brings me a lot of leads but I also get many because I viral market it, put it everywhere.
Missy...I have a headache! I knew you were pretty amazing before I met you at RETech South in March. Then I read a post like this and bam.....you got it going on!
I've got so many things to learn about all this....my website is an iHouse template, and I dont' do nearly enough with it to make it more useful. I'm hoping '10 will give me the opportunity to launch a new website/blogsite and have one kick butt site. I think I would lose my mind if I had to do as many sites as you have.
And then there is that $29 here or $39 here or $59 here....they all add up really quick. Maybe the new office is going to be my kick start for the new year!
Very useful information. I am starting out in the Active Rain Blog system and I found you site most useful.
Great exposure Missy. There is no such thing as bad press.
That is amazing. I'm wondering how much time you dedicate to yor internet marketing per day.
70% is huge. Good going!
No surprise that you are getting 70% of your business from the internet. Those that have leveraged the power of SEO know that a lot of business comes your way:)
How on earth do you find time to manage all those sites and write posts and STILL sell real estate? I feel totally inadequate since i've so far been unable to consistently post to just a single blog! You're like Wonder Woman!!
