This technique is working great for many hyper-local bloggers here on the ActiveRain and out on the Web in general. Providing blog posts with a longer shelf life has been proven to bring much greater value to both the reader and the author. Consider the possibilities of creating neighborhood and community posts over just listing posts. Just a suggestion.

Brad gives good input and posts to ponder....thank you and keep em coming too
Hi Brad....my first post on ActiveRain on Sept. 30 2009 was a post about one of our new homes in a new construction community and it's still above the fold on the first page for a google search for that community.....
I have to agree with you regarding the additional links to MLS IDX's, real estate widgets, search for other homes tools etc. Every blog post created is in essence a website with a unique URL or Web Address of its own. So any additional search or help tools, community or neighborhood information etc. will not only give it a longer shelf, it will also give it a great TOP SHELF on Google life. :-))
(thanks @Barbara Todaro for that confirmation!)
Great advice, Brad. I see so many listings, but the ones that focus on the area in general are the ones that are most useful. It also shows that the agent knows more than just one property.
Brad, I have recently pondered this same thing. Since you're smarter than I am, I think I'll take your advice.
Hi Brad, this makes total sense. Thanks for the instruction.
Great idea, I still post in that group ya know.
Brad, that's a great idea! If you only blog about the listing, once it sells, or heaven forbid, expires and goes to a different agent, it's not doing you any good. Neighborhood blogging is where it's at.
That's a great idea! I use pictures of my old listings in my local blog articles. Just another trick of the trade.
Brad I need to start doing that. Matter of fact I just posted a listing today and I did include a link to information on the particular subdivision where my listing was at. Will have to start doing this more and include my IDX also. Always blessing with creative ideas. Thanks Brad.
Brad - As always, great suggestions. I've done this with market reports, but not as much with listings.
Cool,
Will follow your suggesitons! Do you think, it is a good idea to go to you old blogs and add your sold or present listings there( links)?
Hi Brad - good points, and for those who are new to activerain, they all need to read your old posts to get the best use out of this network.
Hey Brad thanks for the tip maybe I will see you at REtech. I am using the listing part of A/r so this is important to me
Brad
Such tips about so simple little things that are very effective in changing how we present out listing to the public is why I am here. This is great advice and something I do to a small degree but will take it to the next step. I very rarely ever look at a listing post and would bet the public looks at them far less than those many posting them would like. cheers cvc
Good morning Brad,
Excllent information..thanks for sharing your take on being the most effective when posting listings..great advice!
Great idea about giving it shelf life! Thanks so much Brad! It's all about putting ourselves in the minds of the buyers/searchers out there!
Brad - I like Tammy's (#4) idea too. Good info; I've been doing neighborhood posts.
Good tip, Brad. I am starting to incorporate this in my posts.
Brad, great tips and I am writing communitt posts and will start adding the listings.
