Can you feel the (Google) power?

I sure can.

Power! Ten hours ago I posted up a blog entry about a listing. This morning, I ran a search on the address. The A|R post rank #1. Trulia was also on the front page at #2. My blog came in #3. Under the #1 ranking there were actually two posts... the other was posted 12 hours ago.

There are a few things that make this pretty cool. The particular listing was withdrawn prior to me listing it, so there was a web presence for the property. It isn't as if I was working with a blank canvas.

Previous to publishing the listing I was checking Google each day to make sure the site wasn't showing up while I was working on it. Trulia was consistently #1.

I'm sure that as soon as I publish it to GarageHomesUSA it will also breach the top listings. And of course the single property site will climb as it gets indexed from the high powered sites like Active|Rain, LaneBailey.com and GarageHomesUSA.com.

When you are ready to have this kind of power unleashed on YOUR property for sale... let me know.

B&C - After posting this, I went in and edited the enties in Zillow and Trulia for the property. Trulia popped up to #1... and then I started the blitz on the property... I'm back to #1.
