My Thoughts for a New Blog

By
Real Estate Agent with Phil Sharp Homes

If any of you saw my comment on Wayne's Post, I am going to proceed as follows with what I believe to be the right way to do things based on my vast experience gained on Friday night :)

Get my new Blog fixed 

Set up the template and structure for the blog; I learned from my website what a pain it is to restructure after the fact, and I assume it will be the same with Wordpress. 

Write My First post to my now repaired blog.

Start optimizing my Blog so that people will find it:

  • Link to it from my AR and other blog spots. (including links in posts)
  • Link to and From my blog and my websites  (relevant text links as well)
  • Attempt to set up a listing feed.
  • Attempt to set up feeds from other blogs I subscribe to.
  • Gather support from affiliates in the community, encourage them to visit and leave posts with links back to themselves (and they in turn link back to me)
  • Submit the blog site to search engines and directories

Continue posting to my blog, and soliciting visitors.

Top-How do you link your personal website together with the blog?  Do you just put a hyperlink on your website that goes straight to your AR blog?  Help me out here!  Aloha!

Top,

I have the standard AR link.  You could also put text links back to AR if you want to highlight a post, but what I have been doing, at least until I get my personal blog up and running, is to put copies of my posts on my website.  I figure it gives the search engines something new to look at, and folks read them when they visit.

What branch?  I was FA>>  Edit:  I just went to look at your photo, couldn't make out the brass so I started reading...I wander how many AR members are wearers of the St. Barbs?  We could start a new group.

Aloha to you, we are having a beautiful rainy day here..
