I just wrote a blog post today about the reason for not abbreviating words in your blog posts: How Saving a Second or Two Typing Can Cost You in Search Engine Placement 

When I wrote that post I had other reasons in mind as well...

Besides the content I wanted to share about abbreviations and web placement, I was running a little experiment for a Blogging Class I am teaching tomorrow at my local Keller Williams Real Estate office.

I wanted to show the importance of writing good keyword relevant content, and how it can boost your web presence in a short time. My hope was that it would show up by the following day, so I could make my point in time for class. I was pleasantly surprised to see my Google Alert for "Real Estate" "Transaction Coordinator" go off in less than 2 hours with my latest blog post listed. I then went to Google and put in the term "Utah Real Estate Transaction Coordinator" and was even more pleased when I saw my still infant post at #2 in the rankings already, and even better was that #1 still belonged to my wife's ActiveRain profile, and #7 belonged to our main website; so our Transaction Coordination Business was well covered in the results.

and as if to underscore my abbreviation blog, the term that showed up was an example I gave in my first post to show how the full search term nets search engine results, but the abbreviated version of those same keywords does not; and that full keyword string is what placed in less than 2 hours!!! It doesn't get any better than that!

Showing agents the power of blogging and the power of The Rain in class tomorrow just got a little easier!!!

Happy Blogging, and Happy Placement :)
