I am re-blogging this post, because in a back handed way, it supports Active Rain. I know that localism posts are rewarded with decent position.

I left this comment for Ted...

Ted....very interesting stuff. I was not aware that microsoft front page had an edge on blog sites. I thought i would get more information on the topic. I went to google and typed in "are real estate sites easy to beat".

Holy cow .... your little entry showed up as the first entry. Now I realize it has been 6 minutes since you posted the blog. In that 6 minutes, apparently google had it's little spiders crawl your blog and had it show up. So much for creating your own. Active rain ( a blog site ) seems to have a lot of google juice. Or then again, maybe I just don't get it.

Lately I've been seeing more ready-made real estate blog sites. These sites look pretty impressive with all of the social media buttons and tabs. There is very little room on here for content. But on a technical level theres not much holding these things down.....

Could be good news for you....

The inside of sites like these are pretty congested with "gobbiliy gook" - CSS scripts and java script rolloevers. Theres not a lot of strong optimization holding this site in its proper spot.

SOCIAL MEDIA HAS SOME UPSIDES TO IT
Social media connections on your site is not necessarily a bad thing. But keep in mind that all of your buyers are not the same guys sending you funny messages and videos on your social media. This is a trend and they do make the online experience fun. But these sites do not always bring you to the buyer.

MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE IS PRETTY SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY.....
Consider for a minute getting some websites made in Microsoft Frontpage. Search engine spiders seem to like these kind of sites, These are heavy HTML driven sites and not blog related. These get indexed quickly on Google, Yahoo and Bing.

They are able to crawl through them quickly because they are fairly simple sites. Theres not a whole lot of complicated things that get in the way like moving artwork, animation or fancy scripts --- or even newsfeeds. These are primarily static web sites that pull in web spiders.

This enables you to be found.... And jump over Blog type sites

I might add too this can all happen without any kind of pay per click.

Hooray!  This was the perfect reply.  And, we so love to get those people who "dis" the power of the blog and comment from the Rain.  I can attest to the effectiveness and often do.
