My owner is a Realtor with Century 21 Award in San Diego.When I was first encouraged to join ActiveRain, I didn't really see a purpose to it. I was a Realtor, not a writer or a journalist. I couldn't see The Power of ActiveRain.

As I continued to blog on my own, and read the blogs of others, I continued to see my blogs show up in search engine returns for specific subject matters that I had blogged about.

While that was interesting, what was more valuable to me was that just a few short weeks after I started blogging, my Mission Valley condos web site started showing up on page one of a Google search. My web site had been up for three years and never showed up on a Google search, although I never made it past page 25 to see if it was on page 26.

Could it be a coincidence that after three years, Google decided not only to index my web site, but to put me on page one? Not likely. It's The Power of ActiveRain! You'll notice that I have links to my web site on my ActiveRain profile page and in all my blog posts.

Fresh content each week or day in my ActiveRain blog means fresh content for my web site, and Google loves fresh content. I now include my blog post URL on all my marketing materials, which include a home safety and maintenance DVD, brochures and flyers, business card, my Open House Survivor Kit, my listing presentations, etc.

Take advantage of the love affair between Google and ActiveRain by coming out to Play in the Rain with us. And forget about what your mother told you because you will not get all wet or catch a cold by Playing in the Rain. You will, however, enjoy The Power of ActiveRain.

The Power of ActiveRain works in large states like California and in smaller states like Idaho, and even in small cities like Grace, Idaho. In fact, find your Grace Idaho Real Estate Agent simply by clicking on that link.

Couldn't agree more. 

It is a good feeling to see your content show up on Google, rather than hiding in some corner of the Internet never to be found.

Hi Jim!

It's funny how you blog away and then all the sudden you Google your local search terms, and there you are on page one. Then your phone starts ringing and your business starts to take off. Great post, and thanks for entering the contest! :)

Thats great to hear, unfortunately for me I  don't have alot of control over the content on my web site so I cannot refresh it as much as I would like, however I do have a link to my blogs on it. Hopefully one day I will be on the first page of Google rather than 10,000,000 something....

Hey, everyone.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I have read all the comments, but since this post is rather old, rather than making comments here in my post to each and every one of you, I'll just let everyone know that I have read all the comments and if there are any questions, I'll answer those. Otherwise I'll simply post this comment and then head over to your blogs soon to visit and do some reading and commenting. I hope you'll have a nice welcome mat out for me!

I'm still fighting to get an escrow closed that was supposed to close last week. As soon as I get everyone to jump through all these hoops, I hope to get back to being more regular here at ActiveRain rather than waiting until the weekend to do all my posts and reciprocal comments.

Don't forget to let your cat come out to play with all the other ActiveRain kitties. Your cat-friendly dogs can come, too!

If you need a great cat book, get yourself a copy of Peg Silloway's The Cat Lover's Book of Days.

Hope all is well with everyone.
