I've been a huge fan of Google for a long time. There are a few basic tools that all agents should use to help promote the "Search Engine Optimization" efforts of your webpage and blogs. I am not, at all, a SEO expert. However, I know that adding your URL to Google, is a good start. You can do so by going To Google's Add URL site . I've also found substantial value by using the Google Webmaster tools . I maintain a few different blogs and typically use self hosted Wordpress blogs, but I have a personal faith-based blog at www.KingTribe.Wordpress.com . This was a bit more challenging to setup, since I could verify it in Google Webmaster Tools. I found very useful information on setting up a Wordpress.com site at http://mattdabbs.wordpress.com (Hat tip to Matt Dabbs)
