I learned about Websitebox here on Active Rain and joined the contest to win a free website. I didn't win and purchased a website for $99.00 and the blog module for an additional $99.00. I used it for 29 days and ended up canceling on the 30th. They promptly returned my money. Why Did I Cancel...
I wrote another blog about how I can't compete any longer on the search engines. Consider this, in 2007 around $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 out of the $12,000,000 in total sales I did that year came from my website. I've never been able to match that, especially since the real estate bubble burst, ...

UPDATE: I've once again switched up my websites (I'll be writing another post about it - it's brutal)! I changed the link to the new domain on my Zillowpress website. I never thought I'd be writing this post. I've never had anything good to say about Zillow. But I wanted to create hyper-local...
About 4 or 5 years ago I created a hyper-local website for Orland Park real estate but I let it go - in fact, I shut down the blog/site and redirected the domain name to the Orland Park page on my main website. I wish I hadn't done that! To my credit, although I worked in Orland Park, my office ...
