What's in a name? Choices, Choices..."My Blog"..."Hot Air"..."Mike's Blog"..."My Turn"..."From the Cheap Seats"... "Real Estate Delirium"...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Realty Arts NC Broker License #235526

So we are nearing the unveiling of the new web site, and struggling while brainstorming for a title for my blog.

Seems everyone has a "My Blog."

Kicking around whether to try to be catchy, but not wanting to obscure the nature of the content, so people don't miss that it IS "My Blog."

I like "My Two Cents."  If it was 1972, that is...

"My Real Estate Blog"????  What if I ruminate about something else?

Hmmmm.  Stuck on "My Blog."

Looking for other suggestions from the fertile AR land, at least to get the brain cells rolling...

TLW,

Like "Real Estate Delirium?"  That's one of mine.

I told Web Guy we were enjoying the brainstorming just a little too much...

Mike, I just went through this myself.  I added my blog on to the rear end of my website.  Since I cover 6 different areas I hated to pick one area over another one so I got really creative and decided to call it "blog".  I decided sometimes simpler is better.  Since it is the rear end of my website it is www.agentwithresults.com/blog

Marchal,

That seems simple enough...

I think I will just toss it back to the feller who is setting it up and tell him to make me a star.

Mike, I would focus on something for SEO!!  Relate it to your area..  You deserve all the exposure you can get.

 Hi Mike, a few weeks ago another real estate agent from the Rain contacted me about the same thing.

 My "words of wisdom" were to look for a keyword rich, SEO friendly domain names for his blog, words that a home buyer/seller might be using to find homes in his city/area.

 Out of curiosity I checked  "His City"RealEstate.com  and  "His City"RealEstateBlog.com , believe it or not, both domain names were available. Sometimes, the simple but obvious stuff works best.

Marti,

Agreed and Thanks.  I'm having a little fun here, but the naming is serious business, for sure.

As much as TLW and I love "Real Estate Delirium," it isn't in the cards. 

My blog will reside on my new site, and I am looking for a title for the button to the blog, and for the blog itself.

I serve several towns, Cary, Raleigh, Apex, etc, and 5 or 6 counties, so I am having a hard time keying to a geographical location, without unnecessarily limiting myself.

We have a winner, and the world will see it soon.  Maybe by the end of the week.

Mike, How about "The wit and wisdom of Mike Jaquish, everything you want to know about Cary North Carolina real estate and more"?

Just my 2 cents.

"Wisdom?"

Gosh, wouldn't everyone see right through that one?

Hey, Mike!

Heard you were "under the weather."

Looks like you are recovered... at least half-way...

My two cents is great but how about spell it sense!  My 2 sense - a real estate blog.  Then get yourself a cool blog banner & your all set! (Imagechef.com)

I usually get together with a couple of girls in the office & we just throw things back & forth until something cute shows up.  We also critic our websites the same way to polish up all the boring closing stats.  Good Luck, maybe a cocktail will help?

Lyn,

"My 2 Sense"  Hmmmm. Good one!

But it gives me a little too much credit.  ;)

I think "Journal" is the future of blogging, at least until next week...

Mike,

I think you are an incredibly creative guy - a visionary - an individual.  I respect you for that.  Unfortunately an agent from your office that used to be w/FM copied my website and content.  Kind of below the belt. What do you think about that?

Tracy,

Thanks for the kind words!

As far as the other issue?  I have no idea, but I suppose you should just address it with the person who has created the problem for you.
