JULY CHALLENGE - What’s Happening in YOUR City?
Have you ever read George Souto’s blog? The number of events in his area always surprise me as I’m in a major metropolitan area and I feel like he has as much going on in Middleton, CT as I do here in Charlotte!
In the Q&A section last week, we discussed posting local events for July 4 - Independence Day fireworks posts seem to always be a bit hit for those searching online for a place to enjoy the holiday festivities. Those who specialize in SEO will tell you that local posts will draw the consumer to your ActiveRain blog like no other posts. The consumer in your area is always searching for something to do, hence the increase in traffic when you post local events.
Most of us forget that the consumer who views your local posts can very well be your next buyer or seller. Why? You are THE local ‘source’ of information. Your searches and local market information on your sidebar are always planting a seed for those consumers searching for ‘things to do’ in your area.
Here’s an example:
As you can see my one local event in the surrounding posts, 24-Hours of Booty (a charity cycling event, if you’ve never heard of it), received the most number of views, BY FAR! That is 41,000+ visitors who clicked on that ONE post - do you think at least 1 or 2 of those will be hovering around my blog? I will say that even if only one of them winds up eventually buying a home from me, it’s definitely worth the little time it took to write a post!
Here’s the deal!
- Contest begins JULY 1 and ends JULY 31st @ midnight Pacific time
- Write 5, 200-word ORIGINAL posts, featuring local events in your area (posts must be written during the month of July).
