Do you find that your website lacks a certain stickiness? Do you only have information about yourself, contact information and links on your site? Are you blogging yet?
If the answer to those questions is yes, you might want to consider making a few changes to your website that would include adding the content from your blog directly to your website. This will allow your visitors to see the current things you are writing about without actually having to visit your blog. They could read the headlines on your home page and decide whether or not it is something they are interested in.
You could also have feeds from other sources as well, like real estate news headlines, or feeds from your favorite real estate blogs.
This is how to do it:
First you will need to be able to make small changes to the html of your website. I've discussed this in previous posts. If you don't know where to start, just ask me.
Take the URL for the feed you want, in this case we will use the feed from our blog: http://activerain.com/blogs/hismove/rss
Go over to this website: RSS-to-Javascript and follow the directions to create your feed. Once you are done, the site will spit out some html code that you will need to copy and paste into your website. That's it! Here is a sample of the finished result: http://www.hismove.com/test4
This code you just pasted will automatically update itself when the content changes on your blog. Presto! You now have dynamic content on your homepage that ads more value to your site.
