real estate marketing: Google Sets The Record Straight! Watch This! - 09/29/09 12:09 AM
I've recieved a lot of flack for teaching that Google does not care about Keyword Meta tags. (You should see some of the emails I've been sent! Whew! Some people take their Google knowledge seriously!)
Well, it seems that Google has gone on record to set the matter straight! Have a look at what is said:

Pretty darn interesting isn't it? This really illustrates how many pretend experts are out there teaching what they "think" is fact. Of course, this does not mean you should leave this area of your website blank, as other search engines may still assign value … (6 comments)

real estate marketing: 3 Trillion Emails - Did You Know This? - 09/09/09 04:20 AM
 
Oh hey... Before I begin this blog post, I wanted to treat you to some crazy facts about email:
- There are more than 100 billion pieces of SPAM email sent around the world every single day!
- The number of spam email messages sent around the globe each month numbers in the trillions!

real estate marketing: Newsflash: Twitter Doesn't Work Anymore! - 09/01/09 03:28 AM
I could have sworn that this was the appropriate title to the blog post I was reading yesterday. Let me explain.
I've been chatting plenty about social media this past year. Twitter, FaceBook, and beyond. On the flip-sde of the coin, I've been hearing others claim that social media is a waste, and does not work anymore. Here are a few of the "louder" arguments I've been reading lately from these "scary" articles:
- Too many spammers are using social networking platforms, so they don't work anymore
- You cannot build meaningful relationships online - No credibility
- It takes … (8 comments)

real estate marketing: The Subject Of This Blog Is: AHHHHHHH!!! - 08/26/09 11:22 PM
I'm one of those obnoxious guys that is up every morning at 4:30 a.m. It's a great time to get in a workout, jog for a few miles, and clear the mind for the day. This morning I was sitting on the porch watching as the night sky was chased away by rising sun - It's amazing how much of a difference 15 minutes makes! Why was I sitting on the porch watching this? Well, I've generally found that when I get myself into a rut, when I begin to feel overwhelmed with the demands of running multiple blogs, websites, responding … (7 comments)

real estate marketing: Google Marketing Explained - Did You Know This? - 08/20/09 11:55 PM
Have you ever wondered how other websites land on the front page of Google for those seemingly perfect key-word phrases? They sit back and lounge on page #1 of Google for specific keywords that generate tens of thousands of hit or more each month of prospects who are already looking to buy or sell a home, while you struggle to climb up from page #10 with hardly a trickle of traffic... Not fair right? Well let's look at why this is happening. What does Google look for in a website, and how do they determine who gets plastered all over page … (15 comments)

real estate marketing: Tap in to this Power... - 04/25/08 10:14 AM
I hope that you have all enjoyed the training videos and free information provided at www.fsboleadportal.com/blog. Marketing to FSBO's is such a powerful strategy right now that it's hard to ignore. I've always considered both the FSBO niche, and expired listings to be somewhat of the  "holy grail" of lead sources for real estate professionals. (The FSBO market is the same for loan officers)
It's hard to imagine a more qualified lead than someone who has stood up and announced: "hey world, I'm ready to sell my home and statistics dictate that within 45 - 60 days I'll most likely need … (5 comments)

real estate marketing: Control... Do you Have it? - 02/08/08 02:12 AM
Todays post will be short sweet. Is that ok with you? Good. Hey, it's Friday and I have a rented movie and a package of microwave extra butter popcorn sitting at home with my name on it at 5:00. :)
Have you ever considered just how much control you have over your life and your accomplishments? Vague sounding question, but humor me for just a moment here. Something as simple as your perspective and/or how much importance you assign to a task can mean the difference between unbridled success, or mediocrity.
Allow me to illustrate. Last week I was watching a young … (0 comments)
