I always answer YES !
Here are some of success in my busineses that have come about because of blogging on Activerain.

Hi Missy,
I saw your name on an Ypsi Depot Town post that I found with Google.
I'm a photographer looking for a small studio convenient to Depot town. (easy walking distance) I've checked out a couple areas that were a bit too expensive or no where near completion (Thompson Bldg).
What no one got back to the first one. I did and sent him listings and have been emailing him back and forth.
Second prospect, I also sent out listings today on commercial building. *** Note, I wrote 3 posts on Ypsilanti, Mi. This was written in May 2006.

Subject: home for sale
Hi there. I have had a house for sale by owner for awhile now and am living in Clearwater, FL while trying to sell my house there in Saline. It's a bit difficult to sell a house there anyway right now but certainly when I'm not there to advertise it much it hurts me.

Subject: Jackson County
Do you represent any home seller's in Jackson County? Our property has been for sale on and off for 3 years.
We are not "emotionally" attached to an overpriced home. Although we are well aware of Michigan current economic situation (sucks).
Anyway, I see that you are ranked #2 in MI so obviously you are about results.
Any chance of taking us on?
This one I referred out as Jackson County is too far from my area.
