Problogger screenshotWould you like to have more readers, more subscribers, more prospects and clients from your blog? Of course! We've all read about the importance of reciprocating comments and commenting on other blogs within ActiveRain, but how can you expand your reach to the general public and the rest of the world?

In "Building Blog Readership by Monitoring What Other Bloggers are Writing", Problogger's Darren Rowse offers a solution. Each of us has a unique perspective on real estate and our markets, and it's just a matter of sharing our knowledge in the right places around the web.

Rowse suggests two keyword monitoring tools that can help bloggers identify new blogs to visit. He also emphasizes the importance of being genuinely helpful and avoiding comment spam.

Read the full article at Problogger, and start building your world-wide readership today! And if you're new to blogging, check out their series "Blogging Tips for Beginners."

Jim - Great point about networking outside of real estate. Everyone could be a potential buyer or seller, so it benefits us to have a wide audience. Thanks for your input!
