 <title>Goodbye to Google Ranking</title>
 <link>http://newsletter.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2008/11/18/goodbye-google-ranking</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The days of Googling your keywords to measure the effectiveness of your SEO strategy are coming to an end.  According to Bruce Clay of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pubcon.com/&quot;&gt;PubCon&lt;/a&gt;, there will be &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2008/11/17/seo-about-to-get-turned-on-its-ear&quot;&gt;big changes in ranking&lt;/a&gt;. In the name of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/018678.html&quot;&gt;Top Shelp Organic SEO&lt;/a&gt;, Google will be tuning into the specific behaviors of individual users to serve up more customized results. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What this means to the end-user is better results and less spam. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://newsletter.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2008/11/18/goodbye-google-ranking&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this economy of intense competition, it is easy to get stressed out at the thought of learning new techniques to getting your listings out in the public eye.

 <title>Online Curb Appeal</title>
 <link>http://newsletter.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-marketing/2008/08/15/online-curb-appeal</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Curb appeal - it isn&#039;t what it used to be. There was a time when a savvy agent could get a buyer to overlook &#039;flaws&#039; seen from the road. Well in today&#039;s online world, curb appeal has taken on a whole new meaning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When buyers scan listings on REALTOR.com(r) or other real estate websites, if they aren&#039;t impressed with the photos in THREE SECONDS, they &quot;bounce&quot; and click onto the next listing. No matter how many print ads, how many brochures, baseball + football schedule refrigerator magnets they mail, the photos are the be all, end all for getting a listing noticed online. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://newsletter.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-marketing/2008/08/15/online-curb-appeal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Real Estate Industry has some strange peculiarities that are particular to Real Estate and that I don’t think are appreciated by the average citizen, at least here in Alcona County, Michigan.  To give you an idea of what I mean take a look some of these oddities.&lt;br /&gt;
   ·   How many businesses do you know sign a contract with someone expecting them to provide services, spend a lot of money in advertising, and to expend an undisclosed amount of time, work and mileage to fulfill their part of the bargain with no money exchanged; in other words, all at the agent’s expense? &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://newsletter.inman.com/community/groups/virtual-tour-discussion-group/2008/05/7/virtual-tours-a-proactive-step-toward-busin&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
