Chris Ann Cleland  I knew what shows up on your comments - front and center!  Most of the older members have figured this out, but I keep seeing a lot of newwer members that I have no idea of what state or city they work.  It would be good to see and it would help them out a lot.

Hello Anna - it's a good tip for any ActiveRain member whether they be a  newby or a veteran if it's important(since some work virtual).  Location matters after all, right?

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker -  I remember Bob Stewart's discussion about hyper local in your blogs.  From time to time I put my location in my blog text and put it in the keywords.  I notice the difference on Google Analytics.  Of course, what you say about putting on Active Rain is very important.

That is a great tip!  That has frustrated me a little bit too when I wonder what part of the country someone is in and I have a difficult time finding that.  I better look at my own profile and make sure that I have made it clear as well.

Good morning Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker  I had a mentor years ago that said James Bond isn't the only secret agent. Many real estate agents do a poor job of letting folks know they are available.

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. I wasn't sure what you meant about the leaderboard until I read a few other comments about it.  It is indeed missing at this time.  That's not good.  That is where I go when looking for agents in certain states or cities. How on earth will we locate them now.  I am hoping it's just another glitch in the process of ugrading the system.  Thanks for mentioning this - appreciated.

Hi Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS yes indeed. It's important for all agents to be easily recognized and be known for WHERE they work. Boom!  And it's so easy to fix this.

Hi Beth Atalay it is very important for business people to be known for what state or area they do business in.  I think it's just a matter of re-teaching a lot of simple things we all learned years ago.  This one is an easy fix.

Exactly Grant Schneider I did the same as well when we were doing a lot of hyper local posts.  It's equally as imporant to have it right up front in ones profile - Boom......I work in ____________!

Haha I had to laugh at your response Rocky Dickerson ! We must have had the same speaker somewhere along the way.  He was great.  Thankfully that day I had a name tag on and wasn't a secret agent.  I never forgot that tip and have shared it often over the years.

Hi George Souto look through the blog roll and there are a lot of newbies that I have no clue what state or city they work from . Do you remember in the early days we all learned this stuff.  Getting found and building relationships here in the rain is key.  I hope the newbies read this and not be secret agents any more.
