After putting a lot of time and effort into my website, I am starting to see a significant increase in traffic for Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, and Menifee. Of course these areas are my main markets and I study up on them every day so I tend to add information for local business on their sites, etc. Lately, I have often been asked to help with community blogs, sites, articles, etc. Which I love to do since it is yet another way to educate interested home buyers and sellers out there.
Until recently, I hadn't really seen much response from these, nor did I expect it. However, it seems like just taking the time to put together some information for these areas, things I do everyday but never really bothered to highlight, makes a difference in web rankings. I think I better learn more about tying my blog to my website lol.
Just the other day I had two people contact me about buying foreclosures and short sales on homes. I am getting known in the area for that type of deal because I think it often is the best price to quality ratio for new home buyers if they have the patience. So it seems like making sure you put your experience down in some electronic format, which is very easy to do, can yield a lot of exposure.
This new blog I was invited to help on by owner, Menifee Real Estate Blog 24/7, is a lot of fun and unlike other "copy and paste" agents on there, I enjoy just sharing with the community my ideas, experiences and market outlook. Although he has other agents contributing, he keeps pushing ideas out to me and says my writing is more fun to read and he wishes I would do more. So I like the feedback even if it is helpful for his blog, it is still nice to hear :).
So I strongly encourage people to have fun with blogging. I haven't really tried to integrate it into a SEO tool, I am working on completely re-doing my DRIP marketing stuff right now. But this is on my to do list and in the mean time, I will just enjoy sharing my career and experience with others.
Just wanted to drop a note and say to watch out for those "once a week" type situations where you can get great exposure by offering a free and thoughtful service!
