ActiveRain StatsReviewing our stats on ActiveRain I noticed a few posts that we wrote this year that received several thousands of views. So I decided to write a post that summarizes these posts for those of you who may have missed them when they were originally posted.

There is definitely an obvious relationship between being featured on ActiveRain and the view count. Our Facebook related posts seem to get great attention and reblogs too and since ActiveRain added the Facebook Like button to the footer of the posts, the sharing on Facebook by our readers seems to help in gaining additional traffic as well. Those posts with 0 Facebook Likes were posted before this feature. 

So what are your most popular posts? Do you see a common theme among them?

I joined RealBird last night at the suggestion of a fellow blogger...I have been around for a while, but just started blogging about 3 weeks ago and am feeling slightly overwhelmed, so thanks for this post.

Have 3 new listings coming up and as soon as I have photos, will be giving RealBird a try soon!

Hi Liz - Facebook can be used in many ways - personal and for business - but it's for here to stay and gains more and more importance. Both as social networking tool (social is the keyword) and as a core technology that will be included in a lot of other technologies. I hope our articles help in understanding some of the benefits. 

Have a great weekend

Hi Zoltan,  A few days ago I came across a listing post that looked really cool (pictures, maps, etc.), and I was going to look into it to see how it was done.  I just took a look at your website and found out that it was a RealBird layout!  Now I will have to look into this thoroughly!  I imagine I will be joining later today.

I would love to be your Realtor® in Akron Ohio!

Not to mention the ease of posting to your AR blog with moving pics. The syndication is amazing and I find my RealBird listings on Google all the time. My clients like the FB feature and think I am working harder than other agents. Thanks, Zoltan.

Daniel - You are correct. And also the reblog count is very important to see popularity of a content. We don't have stats about the views/clicks on the reblogged posts of course, but we always follow the comments on those as well.

Thanks
