Do I Think You're an Idiot?

I AM an idiot when it comes to SEO ;-P

LOL @John & Kasey!  I don't think that members dis those of you who share so very much here.  It's the ones that are ONLY here to market their ware and who CONSTANTLY promote themselves.  I know, we REALTORS are forever promoting our listings but, we're not really trying to get other members here to spend their money--incessantly!  Like Connie said, we just ignore them!  

Well, Tammy, I personally think that the more any of us can read from different authors and bloggers - the better we all will get with SEO - I know I need a LOT help!  So......keep writing and I'll keep reading...

I didn't see the post you were referring to, but I imagine that as a copywriter, I was probably included as one who "doesn't belong." Oh well. I'm here and I'm enjoying making new friends as well as meeting new clients. I'm also learning plenty that I can use to help those clients.

It always bothers me when someone writes me and sounds embarrassed because they need a writer - it's as if they feel that they should be able to write their own marketing copy because they know their business inside out.

The truth is, everyone should do what they do best - and just because you know your business doesn't mean you know how to write marketing copy.

Thanks for your attitude - and the information you share.

Tammy, I sing praises of you and your work everyday! When someone compliments me on my web site, I tell them who did it and who has given me the direction to keep it going. Thank you again. Without AR I would never have found you.

In more general terms, I use AR as a resource for ALL things Real Estate. The variety of people, products and methods provide me with an outstanding educational cafeteria of ideas and truths.

If anyone in the community can't understand the concept of sharing ideas and practices, they need to ask themselves why they are in the community.

Thank you all for the time you give sharing with those of us eager to keep learning.

Sadly too many times people (and even I've done it), make a blanket statement that throws everyone in the pool together.

I never worry about my fellow agents...we are all different.  Each one of us brings a different perspective.

On the other hand I have worked with agents that I wondered like you - how many times they had to take the test or why or earth they ever picked a career in real estate.

I enjoyed reading your blog.  Joy

Tammy... this post only proves how respected and admired you are, not only for your knowledge that you so openly share (and in a way that is very easy to understand and implement into our our blogs and sites) but for your kind heart and your humor! Keep it up! We're here to support you too! PERSONAL SEO ROCKS!!!

When people call me a Shark Preying on people it is just envy or some general hatred of what we do.  I am a business person trying to connect with clients in the best way I know how.  Nothing wrong with that.

Hi Tammy:

I already know there is so much about SEO that I don't know.  You come across as informative and not salesy to me and I appreciate any info people are willing to share on SEO.  Thanks for posting.

I believe that the Stagers and the Inspectors and the SEO experts and all of the related fields that are on AR are SUCH a benefit to the whole.  Fact of the matter is, this would not be nearly as good of a community without the diversity, but all interrelated.  Makes me want to take someone out behind the woodshed and beat some sense into them.  Thanks for all you do.  You are truly a gem.

WOW Tammy ... I know this is a older post but very well written, and the comments unbelievable! Why this post was never featured is beyond me but you have found one at one of my favorite groups to GOSSIP!

Vegas Bob ... ;o

425 area code I remember when Ozark was all 417.  Great article.  Some of the SEO gurus I'm suspicious of.  Some are very good.  You appear to be very good.

I think it's fine to have other professions on here, especially those that support and service the real estate industry.  I don't have a desire for your services right now, but I may one day, and the fact that you're on the Rain puts you higher in my book.  So, ignore the idiots.

By the way, a lady in my old office took the real estate test 9 (yes, NINE) times before passing!  Unbelievable.  She may not be real smart, but she sure is dedicated...I have to give her that.
