Web Real Estate Marketing : Real Estate Tool - 1st page on Google ;-)

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:26:44 +0000

That\\\'s a very good question! We are not actually targeting that term which is one of the reasons why I was making a play on words with the post .... One of our targeted search terms is \\\"real estate tools\\\" (plural) but we are still stuck on the 2nd page of Google results :-( - go figure.

... copy and pasting through notepad is one way out. If you use Firefox as a browser any spelling mistakes are underscored in red - right clicking on the misspelt word brings up a list of alternative spellings - it works for me ... Hope this helps!

If your potential clients are all party goers and love getting drunk with you, then you have found a niche, otherwise \\\"beer bottles in your hand\\\" will just limit your appeal to the majority of the home buying public ...

WOW Rafael, that\\\'s quite the post and more power to you if game playing on Facebook leads to business! If others are thinking this might be a good strategy I think this sentence of yours sums it up nicely: \\\" To me, the key is reaching out beyond the game and reaching into their real world and if that step is missed… then you really are just playing a game wasting time. \\\"

Right on the money Darryl. The brilliant author Seth Godin posted on his bog recently: \\\"Who you are and what you do. The neat thing about the online world is that you are judged almost entirely by your actions, usually based on just your fingers ....\\\"

... and a Prudential California Realty agent sent me this too:

" I completely agree ... I'm annoyed by Farmville, Mafia Wars and all the cutesy stuff that gets sent to me (animals, pillows, cupcakes, etc).

I wish I could turn off these settings but haven't figured out how so I just delete them. "

I received this from a Broker in Michigin by email:

"Peter, I am in complete agreement with your view regarding Facebook and all of the shall I say "Silly gifts" who has time for this? I certainly don't and if you do have time for it ... How much business are you really accomplishing for your clients?

Facebook serves a few purposes 1. for keeping in touch with loved ones out of state, oversees, in the military. 2. For keeping in contact with acquaintances, past/present clients who socialize on Facebook.

Many times I have asked others not to include me in sending "a smile" or "a cupcake" etc ... I have to ignore anywhere from 30 to 50 of these request daily and it is time consuming. I have actually gotten to the point where I dread Facebook."

There is usually a \\\"Block App\\\" link under these Smile type applications - click it and you won\\\'t see posts from that app again. Farmville? Yeh, I noticed too - what sort of message does that send to their FB Friends? \\\"I\\\'m too busy playing to service your needs?\\\" Or perhaps the more subtle message \\\"The market is so bad and I\\\'m having trouble generating business so I\\\'m just keeping busy untill things pick up!\\\"

That's too funny Durrell - you obviously didn't read my post about composing in MS Word and then just copying and pasting into WordPress! You can read it here! BTW - I'm not judging everyone - just the real estate agents (all five actually were Realtors) who send this "crap" rather that actually communicate in a meaningful way ....

Good gracious, how time flies in the wonderful world of the web and social media. This was posted 6 months ago, with Facebook changing things up almost every other week I\\\'m not surprised it\\\'s out of date! Watch for an updated version and we will try to incorporate a video too ... Thank for reading and commenting Jeffrey.

Hi Milly, after Apple released the 3.1 update it looks like they removed the link, great pity it does not work anymore. I understand that in other markets (Europe for instance) that tethering is available from the wireless carrier. No such luck here with ATT&T yet - maybe if we badger them ....?
