What Is A Blog Anyway? And Our Version?
Photos are an important part of our blogs.
Probably most of you that drop in could answer this question. For you we add our twist. Kathleen started this article in response to a question by one of the owners of our real estate office.
What is a blog? A blog is a word derived from web log. It is like a website but the content is continuous and can be added upon easily and often, as often as the blog writer wishes. The most recent article (post) is at the top and each additional post pushes the other further down. All posts can be put into categories (which you can title). The categories can be clicked on to retrieve all posts written in the category.
A blog is very 2.0, meaning it isn’t just you writing to others but it allows others to make comments and you can even ask guest writers to post if you choose.
Links are a common component. You can link to whatever website you choose; schools, traffic cams, chamber of commerce, etc.
All articles you write are always there. The content of a blog can quickly become huge. There are many ways to send people into your blog, which is part of our training. Needless to say, the more often you write, the better.
Our blogs have a local focus. We host sites written by local agents that know their communities as well as real estate. We have a most effective way to show a community. It is a public service. Our agents provide an MLS search and access to mortgage lenders we have had experience with.
Blogs can have a very powerful search engine result. Search engines are notified when new content arrives, done right you will move to the front of the line in Google. That too is part of our strategy.
