What do you think of having your listings appear on other sites? This has lead to some discussion and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Do you think your listings should only be on your own site, or are you from the point of view that the more exposure your listing gets, the better ... no matter where that traffic is.

Take a look at my blog this morning. There is a large trend away from putting listings on other people's sites. We want our own found more than someone else's.

Leslie, thanks for asking, the book is at http://rem20.com/book

 

Heath, your post made me think long and hard, but I have to say that I disagree with the spirit of your post. 

In the end, attracting people to you online requires you to get in front of traffic, that usually involves putting your name out there in a variety of ways and giving cutomers the information they're looking for is never a bad thing.

If some of the sites you're doing business with become competitors along the way, that is simply the nature of business.  Better that you be diversified in a way that they can't be, with leads coming from as many sources as possible.

I posted a long reply in the comments section of your post.
