The syndication of listings on websites like Google Base, Oodle, Hot Pads, FrontDoor, Cyberhomes, CL etc is time consuming and I really question just how valuable. There will always be a lead here and there, but I believe the number of people searching for homes on these sites is few and far between.
We have been mannually posting to sites that allow - like Google Base and Oodle. We have also been using VFlyer and Postlets on sites that does not allow for individual agents to post lisitngs. When you post your own information you can obviously control the data presented and the links therein. However, do the links back to your site actually provide any significant link juice to your website? I believe when posted through Postlets and VFlyer there is none - but perhaps when posted yourself there might be?
Maybe we can generate a discussion on this topic?
Also, if you have your own single property website - created through your own website - can you simply syndicate this in some way?
