My Blog was picked up on Reuters

Has anyone ever heard of Blogburst? It's another place for your blogs to possibly get picked up by some of the world's most popular media sites such as Reuters....Fox News and Biospace...just to name a few. According to Blogburst you have to submit your blog and if they like it then they send you an invitation to join. Basically all your blogs are automatically placed on their feed.

I saw a few members that had it and so I joined and was officially invited. I'm not even sure I'm using it to it's full capability and I really have not logged in there much lately until this morning. I figured that I would go in and see if by chance anyone was reading my material. I went in just to see if there was any activity and low and behold one of my blogs was showing that it was viewed a few times and then I decided to click and see what else I could find out.

I had written a post back in October for Blog Action Day called Weston Florida homes go Green with Solar Pool Heating and I noticed a link to Reuters and when I open it ...my blog was syndicated on their page.."how cool is that?" Now I have no idea what this means but it was interesting to see a high profile news website with my blog on it.

I was pretty happy about it. It goes to show you that if post in different places and add more and more feeds to your blog......it seems to stimulate and drive more traffic to your websites and the extra exposure doesn't hurt either.

Please see the >>> Reuters link

That is cool Neal. I just submitted my blog. Hope they like it. Any exposure is good.....I think.

Neal, I subscribe to 2 of Rueters feeds, health and business. That is so fantastic for you. How did you discover this?

11/14/2007 02:46 PM by Missy Caulk Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams Ann Arbor, Michigan)


BB,

I guess it is...but I didn't even notice it until I hit the link...imagine...me and Reuters on the same page:)

11/14/2007 02:46 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Missy,

Take a look at the link ..I added the actual one...by logging in is how I found out. Thanks...not sure what it does for me but hey...nice!

11/14/2007 02:54 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal, that's exciting! I guess that makes you a *Star*!! Congratulations!

11/14/2007 02:59 PM by Linda Scanlan ~Selling All of North Texas (Hall Team Homes)


Linda,

More interesting than exciting...I'm still trying to figure this exposure thing out.

How About a word from Ms. Manny the expert?

11/14/2007 03:01 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Hey Neal, 

Congratulations on the honorable mention! I've never head of blogburst before so thanks for presenting it here :)

    

11/14/2007 03:19 PM by Ricardo Bueno - Mortgage Planner (World Wide Credit Corporation)


Sally,

do you mean you submitted something to Reuters directly? I never did...it was picked up through blogbursts feeds.

Missy,

Thanks...that is actually my house!

Ricardo,

Thanks for stopping by!

11/14/2007 03:25 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal, great news.  I'll head over there to submit my blog to Blogburst right now.

11/14/2007 03:35 PM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Brian,

I wonder what it actually does and what the benefits are yet.

11/14/2007 03:36 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal, this is very cool!  I'm still trying to get mine more visible on MyBlogLog, Digg etc....I have so much to learn!  Hey, a funny story for you:  When we lived in Arizona we had a solar heated pool....however, the seller didn't disclose that our house was in full shadeof Camelback Mountain all winter so it only functioned in the summer when the temperature was already 90 degrees:)  Not one of my favorite places to live. Congratulations!

11/14/2007 04:19 PM by Lake Norman Real Estate ~ Diane Aurit (RE/MAX at the Lake)


Diane,

I am part of Digg too..but not sure what it will do as well...I'm worried that I joined too many different forums and can't keep up with all of them. I also joined another yesterday as well.

11/14/2007 04:21 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


What a great surprise!  Really, really koool!  Will definitely check it out.

11/14/2007 04:24 PM by Joan Snodgrass Tri-Lakes Realtors, Shell Knob, MO (Tri- Lakes REALTORS)


Great news Neal....I'm going to check it out.  Keep up the awesome work!

11/14/2007 04:26 PM by Barbara Mulcahy, ABR - Your Berkeley Heights Real Estate Source (Re/Max Classic Group)


Awesome to be presented by Reuters..  good job, and thanks for the information, being new to blogging Im still trying to figure it all out.  I now own a book about real estate blogging, I just need to read it!!

11/14/2007 04:32 PM by Gail Tassey (Keller Williams Realty)


Hi Gail,

Thanks for stopping by and your support is greatly appreciated as well.

Don't read to much..there are many different ways to blog and I'm not sure who is right and who is wrong...just keep writing!

11/14/2007 04:44 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal, a lot of us are on Digg, MyBlogLog and technorati plus Facebook, My Space, Trulia Voices and even Inman.  I have no idea where to focus my efforts.  Am I missing any other important ones?  Helppppppp!

11/14/2007 04:51 PM by Lake Norman Real Estate ~ Diane Aurit (RE/MAX at the Lake)


Diane,

I just joined cre8buzz because I was invited...I also use bloggingfusion as I was invited on bloglog...all the never ending threads:) ...I do not use technorati, linkdin or facebook much...I think I have too much overkill.

11/14/2007 04:54 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Thanks Neal.  Do we need someone like Jeff Turner or Laurie Manny to weigh in on this or better yet write a post about these sites?  I know that Mary from RSSPieces who does my blog tells me to try to get my posts on Digg but someone else has to Diggit.  So much to learn!  Thanks.  I'll bet if I search AR archives I will find some answers too.

11/14/2007 04:58 PM by Lake Norman Real Estate ~ Diane Aurit (RE/MAX at the Lake)


Good talking to you today amigo!  Congrats on this, I'm going to check it out myself.

11/14/2007 05:01 PM by Jason Sardi, Pennsylvania Mortgage Broker (First Choice Equity Group Inc.)


Jason,

Anytime...my friend!

Diane,

I posted a few of mine there and had gotten a few small Diggs but nothing big...plus one rude remark as well:) But hey..what can you do.

11/14/2007 05:06 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

But it would have been nice if they had notified you that they had used your Post.  If you had not checked you might have never known. 

11/14/2007 05:23 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)


George,

Thanks...you know....I never thought of that....they never did:)

11/14/2007 05:29 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal - This is wonderful. Congratulations. I'm going over to take a look.

11/14/2007 05:29 PM by Guilford Connecticut Real Estate Agent, Sandra Cummings (William Raveis Real Estate)


Thanks Sandra...like I said they never contacted me but I thanked them.

11/14/2007 06:00 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


CONGRATULATIONS NEAL!  THIS IS HUGE!

SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS BUT I AM EXCITED FOR YOU!!  

11/14/2007 06:19 PM by Renee Burrows - Las Vegas NV Real Estate (Nevada Realty Solutions)


OK you made me go and look at my workbench.  Since you commented twice in one blog I can do that too right?  MY HIGHRISE LISTINGS BLOG MADE IT TO REUTERS TOO!  Good thing I just went pee  before this otherwise my chair would be doused! 

No wonder why my website had so much activity yesterday.

11/14/2007 06:22 PM by Renee Burrows - Las Vegas NV Real Estate (Nevada Realty Solutions)


Neal, 

Blogging trapped me!!! You never know who is behind a computer....Congrats,

11/14/2007 06:25 PM by Maria Borci ABR-TRC-ASP Doral Kendall FL Real Estate (The Keyes Realtors Doral Office)


Hi Neal,
That's great, guess they'll be bombarded by all of us now.  :0)

Renee,

You know I got invited because I saw your Blogburst logo...remember I asked you if it did anything for you a few months ago? thanks!

Maria,

Yeah right...thanks!

Cynthia,

Go for it!

11/14/2007 06:30 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Tom,

I also joined your cre8abuzz and saw you there.Thanks!

11/14/2007 06:33 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Neal I think you are my lucky charm, can I rub you?  LOL!  I hope you aren't offended by that remark :)  I do remember you asking me now!  Just posted about it!

11/14/2007 06:40 PM by Renee Burrows - Las Vegas NV Real Estate (Nevada Realty Solutions)


Renee,

LOL!...I don't mind getting rubbed by you:) I guess it's pretty cool to get the exposure and your offer for the rub:)

11/14/2007 06:49 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Hi Neal - cool news on your post being picked up by Reuters!  I belong to so many of those forums or networks, and I just really don't get what most of them really are for.  I don't know anything about the cre8abuzz or the blogburst thing you and Renee are talking about.  I feel like Diane mentioned.  And how do you get any of your posts 'dug' on Digg anyway?

Ann

11/14/2007 06:57 PM by Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings (RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire)


Ann,

Thanks..something good happend today. Same here neither do I ..finding time time find out what they all do is hard. I just joined Digg and still do not know anything.

11/14/2007 07:03 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Very NICE!!!  Neal the Real Deal!  It's nice to be recognized, no?.......especially when you work so hard.  CONGRATS!

11/14/2007 07:28 PM by Rick & Ines - Miami Shores Real Estate (Majestic Properties)

11/14/2007 07:39 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


That is just way too cool! You do write great stuff.  Congrats.

Thanks for stopping by...but I doubt I'm anywhere near being famous...it is nice to be recognized on a major website though.

11/17/2007 08:27 AM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


congratulations, and now that the cat's out of the bag everyone is going to sign up.  We'll all be fighting for the same spot.

Neal it is amazing you seem to always respond back to others comments.  Do you end up getting commenting points for commenting back on your own blog?

11/25/2007 01:58 PM by Ace Mortgage Funding, LLC


Jeremiah,

Thanks.....go for it. Some people do not believe in syndication for whatever reasons.I try to comment back to each and everyone unless it is a post that really is for reaction and not discussion IE a silly post or video.

11/25/2007 03:49 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


There you go Courtney...oh...also this post was picked up here by them...pretty amazing.

I'm glad you linked to this post, Neal, because it answers one of my questions about Blogburst: are you really getting anything out of it. Obviously you are.
