Lots of the blogs on AR refer readers to the blogger's website for more information, homes for sale, etc. and I usually try to visit some of them to see what they have to offer.
A lot of the one's I'm seeing have a serious overuse of the word "I".
Evidence the following:
"I try.........", "I do........", "I have.........", "I receive...........", "I won.........", I will not......", "I did......." etc., etc.
and
"I think.......", "I try.........", "I would.......", "I am.........", "I truly........", I can..........", "I want...........", "I have........", I would.........", etc. etc.
And that's just in the first couple of paragraphs. ;-)
Maybe I'm just reading something into it that's not there but a person that refers to themselves that much, that often, doen't convey too many warm and fuzzy feelings to me that me the potential buyer or seller is the focus of their message.
When I compare the above to my favorite real estate website, Alice Held's Come2AZ.com, I don't see Alice using the "I"word anywhere on the front page of her website, plus she offers tons of useful information on that front page.
Do you overuse the "I" word in your website or your blog???
