Grocery List 

Having trouble coming up with something to blog about?  Our friend Jim Cronin over at the Real Estate Tomato has re-published a great list from Teresa Boardman that provides 101 ideas on what to blog about in the real estate blogsphere.  I have included part of the list below, but I did want to add that whatever topic you choose, you should use targeted keywords as part of your text. 

For most of us, blogging is a great past time, but also a way to appear in high ranks in search engines as part of an overall promotion strategy.  With that in mind, whatever you write should include the targeted and long-tail keywords.    A great tool to help in this strategy is hittail.com which shows you the key phrases that are sending traffic to your site so that you can leverage these terms in future posts to get an even better ranking.

  1. Review web sites on local or real estate related topics
  2. Property taxes
  3. Crime
  4. Open houses
  5. Trends in kitchen design
  6. Area events for children
  7. The local zoo
  8. Where to play golf
  9. Coffee shops
  10. Women home buyers
  11. Advice for FSBO's
  12. Interview some one
  13. Local  real estate market trends and observations
  14. Furniture
  15. Investment scams
  16. Mortgage fraud
  17. Types of mortgages
  18. Home owners associations
  19. Attend a public meeting and write about it.
  20. Week end getaways
  21. Credit repair
  22. Fair housing issues
