Making The Best Use Of Key Words!
midorimiller | 15 March, 2009 07:44
Ever notice some blog posts you read..the text is bold and italicized..no not the whole post but important key words? Key words that Google is trying to recognize and read..for SEO purposes.
If you are currently not linking to other posts..that's OK..but for the sake of blogging..some write as if it's a letter...pat yourself on the back and don't feel bad about it..most real estate professionals and loan officers are not writing at all....But for those that do..you may not be getting all of the benefits that blogging offers.
Important Key Words Tips!
Ever hear of key word stuffing? Seems Google doesn't like it...and penalizes you for it..read the full article here.
Ever see posts without links but certain terms, phrases and words..bold and italicized...google loves it..read the story here.
Remember not everyone reads left to right..some skim and read from right to left..some enjoy photo's while others want just the facts.....some words and terms can and will stick out..do yourself a favor...and make the best use of your key words! If you are writing..pat yourself on the back but better yet..take advantage of the use of key words!

The Eyes Go As You Age-Does That Include Spelling?
midorimiller | 12 March, 2009 19:45
Right now I need spell check..while many copy and paste their blogs from word. I write within the platform..and I must admit..sometimes the words look smaller and my spelling..not good.
Oh the signs of aging..and I wonder...if you forget how to spell as you age?
Here is an online solution because I was desperate for spellcheck..I went to source online it's free, click here!
So I copied and pasted my text on the site and hit spell check! Don't you love the net..it seems everything is at your finger tips. Well except...coffee!
Never copied and pasted a doc?
To learn how to copy and paste..please click right here.
Spell Check Coming Soon!

Your Blog Posts

I admit I am getting used to the platform but if you write in other places usually the platforms are very similar. A couple of things you should think about.
1. Who is your target audience? Is it the consumer? Are you writing for the community or are you venting and letting off steam. Remember whatever you put on line is online forever...if you are not generating business from your blog you might want to look at the words you are writing and what you are posting..if you blog consistently the business will come but your blog requires readers and outside of the network!
2. Choose your words carefully...attacks...libel and defamation of character seem to be the lawsuits for bloggers today. I can tell you its happened and is happening..and a law suit emerged a real estate agent in Miami, Florida and a builder......read the article here.
3. Don't oversell yourself..people want to get to know you a bit better before doing business with you...that means its OK..to show your human side...I can assure you people are googling your name prior to picking up the phone. Type your name into google and what will they see. Remember online what you put out is what you shall receive! Lets just see what google says about me? click here
4. Don't be afraid to write...just write..and if you feel uncomfortable the forum is a perfect place to start! Ask a question or respond to a comment. It gets easier as time goes on. Remember its not just about the services you provide.. or the your current rates. You want to draw readers to read who will think of you first for you great services. Remember word of mouth the very best marketing you could invest in!
While we all have equal rights..we must abide by certain laws, as a REALTOR I must abide by The Code of Ethics, The National Association of REALTORS and the Florida Assocation of REALTORS and the Daytona Beach Area Assocation of REALTORS Rules! 
Get the message...be mindful in what you write. The safest way to blog..."Whatever I write, would I say it to a customer, a friend or children face to face. Am I being ethical and am I abiding by the law?" One thing I learned about being behind the keyboard... sometimes hiding behind the keyboard gives little people big guts!
