Taking Advantage of Seasonal Traffic

Just about any time of year there are things going on in each of our communities that force people to their computer to get the details. 

This time of year, it's everything fall. So what kinds of things do people search for in the fall and how can you write content in your blog that has the potential to get in front of thousands of people in your local market? 

I promise you that people are searching for information about corn mazes, pumpkin patches, cider farms, haunted houses, halloween events, hay rides and a whole bunch of other stuff this time of year.  

That's what we'll be talking about on Thursday, October 17th at 11am Pacific Time (2pm Eastern Time). Join Bob Stewart as he discusses some of the most commonly searched local events and how you can create content for these events that gets found in the search engines. Even more than that though, we'll discuss what you can do in your posts to make them worthy of being shared by the folks in your community to which you're connected socially.

Remember, your blog is more than just an opportunity to try to sell your most recent listing. It's a great chance for you to expose your business to people in your community who may not be thinking about buying or selling right now, but certainly will be in the future. Join us as we talk strategy (and specifics) for getting your blog posts in front of thousands of local residents.

We want you to be the local expert for your market!

Bob, good point about including some seasonal topics in our blogs.  I have a national real estate directory and when there are big events in different cities, like political conventions, super bowls, etc, I include something about that city and it gets good traffic too.  So event blogging.
