I have written 1,400 posts on Activerain since beginning this new marketing frontier. The 82,000 results that come up for my name are over 80% related to Activerain posts. As you scroll down you'll see Facebook , twitter and Activerain posts (AR outside blogs & Localism posts). What is not easily apparent is all the Facebook posts - and blogs linked to Twitter were originated as Activerain feeds. That's right - write it once and launch your world wide recognition from the best real estate platform to get you noticed. Clients and Customers are finding me because of Activerain...period.
Thanks to Activerain - I've become a household name where it's most important...in my target market.
If you are not blogging daily, posting to localism -or have not established an outside blog "suitable for your market place" what is stopping you? My Real Estate company - Alpine Lakes - gave me the idea for my rainmaker tag "Mountainwater"... when I google Mountainwater I find another 60,000 search- matches, combined those results with "Steve's White mountain blog" (my outside AR blog) and "Localism.com/nh/lincoln (my community local post) I literally get hundreds of thousands of search results...and they are all linked to the 1,400 posts written on Activerain.

One more thing...you don't have to be a brilliant writer or get hundreds of comments to be successful, when I post a listing - I get very few comments. But The buyers and sellers are making note of that presence and call me when looking to buy or sell.
Steve, Pretty awesome results out of your extensive work. We're watching our own ability to be found climbing, the Google Juice is just amazing here. Writing our contract to build new with our first Outside Blog contact this afternoon. Life is good :)
The power of blogging consistently is written all over this post and the proof is in the results people see when they do Internet searches. Well done Steve!
That's quite a presence you have there Steve! Congrats. The same is true for market reports too. Not many comments but I know people are reading them. Have a great holiday.
Bliz, I had 1,399 posts this morning and had been thinking about a milestone blog. What to write about - when I googled my name there it was, Topic #1,400 the secret of real estate blogging success Activerain.
Melissa, I don't mean to say it is all about quantity in fact the subject matters a lot, content is great for Google juice...but the client looking for service more often finds me due to a local tag (town or location).
Steve, That is pretty cool! Congratulations on making such a huge effort and reaching such a major milestone. Points are fine, but, 1400 Posts. Wow! You have obviously saturated Google with Steve Juice and it is oozing out everywhere. I have bookmarked this post for a detailed study. You have a lot to offer a new guy like me. Congratulations again and best wishes always.
Steve--1,400 posts. That is really amazing, since I'm still pretty new here. However, the results speak for themselves so I guess I have a long way to go.
Janet...keep at it and work that out side blog...one other thing: it helps to have your "region or State" in your company title...so folk will know where you work.

Yikes. That is one heck of a lot of posts. I think I have only written about half that on AR.
