A Newbie to Active Rain. Answers Sought.

I am just wondering, what is it that you members hope to gain from Active Rain.  I would like to find a place to post a blog, and it is another method to increase my web presence.  What are your goals here, and how are you going to obtain them. 

 Thanks in advance, glad to be a member.

HI, Brian.  The goals are to improve internet search results (check); learn things from others (check) and enjoy the benefits of interaction from all locations in the US- (check).  Stick around- you'll love it.

Brian, Active Rain has been an excellent place to blog for 3 reasons: 

1)  The search engines love organic material, allowing you to move up in the Organic Searches

2)  Excellent place to share information with other professionals

3)  Excellent place for leads and referrals - My wife has received several.

Hi Brian,

I am also a new comer to Active rain, I am learning by mistake, But loving the exposure you can gain to promote yourself to the public and meet some wonderful agents.

Read all blogs, learn from them and use it wisely.

Hello Brian,

I started after an article in Realtor.com suggested that AR would help with a web presence. I've since become somewhat addicted to it. I've picked a lot of tips and tools. I also like the idea of reading about other Realtors thoughts from all over the country.

Thanks for the replies.  I am also hoping to add some organic material to the Google Gods.  I hope this helps.

I came for the interaction and education, and stayed for the search engine results. There's always something to learn or someone new to meet on ActiveRain, and the boost we get in Google from participating is a bonus!

Hi Brian....I realized that active rain comes up pretty high in the search rankings for my area...also, I have gotten great information from other agents on this site... Agents are more generous with information when you don't live in their area....
