So how do you make this work for you to increase your readership and SEO? Thats easy... you should apply to become an editor! I applied and was accepted for my home town of Hopkinton Massachusetts.

Once you are accepted you can then post stories about local Real Estate. Folks you would post the same information that you would normally send to Localism!
Each time you add a post to Topix, you have created an inbound link to your blog. The page rank of the Topix site is seven. The page rank of the Hopkinton Massachusetts news site is PR 3. I would suspect that the city page where you would be adding your posts would also have a PR of 3. This is powerful stuff!
Not only are you creating more inbound links to your blog but your are also placing information on a site that is growing it's readership tremendously. You are placing yourself in a position to be recognized as the local Real Estate expert! I am really excited about the possibilites of what can be done with this site.
