Thread: Blog promotion

Someone please share there wisdom...I am also VERY interested! Thanks.

It was suggested at another forum to get a group of real estate blog owners together and take turns blogging about each others sites. If we had say 20 owners we would all end up with 19 posts and links to our blogs. It's a glorified link exchange, but more in the blog tradition and all the links would be placed inside unique content. To add to it each post could also have a link to the blog owners main site, adds a little value for the effort.

This sounds like something I may be interested in. Anyone else?

If anyone has any questions on how we can work this just PM or e-mail me.

I think Ken has the right idea.

I myself, read lots of blogs and when I come across a post that I can add a valuable comment to, I do. When I initially started posting on the other blogs I didn't understand the boomerang effect of those posts, but I see hits coming into my site that I know are direct results of those posts. And then I started noticing that people were adding links to my blog from their blogs, which is really nice.

So I don't think you necessarily need to agree within a group to post with each other, rather just as you come across a blog that posts information that you find valuable or maybe just fun, bookmark it, check it regularly and when you can add something worthy the host will appreciate it. Other readers will become curious about who you are and check out your blog and so the snowball just keeps getting larger.

I think the key is to always be respectful, just like in the forums. Read and follow the blogs for a while and get a feel for the owner and the guests that post. Now that I've typed this up - it's not much different at all than the forums. Just remember that the blog is someone's personal venue for expression and not necessarily an open forum for debate.

Great post Nickie!

I am very interested in being a part of this. Site Tutor...can you recommend the best way to make round table blogging beneficial to our sites?
Thanks!

The concept behind shared blogging works best when the bloggers are all in the same industry and the same geographic location. However, the easiest way to create a shared blog system is to use the newly launched wordpress blog system. This is a similiar system to blogger but has more options available . The two biggest improvements to the wordpress.com system is the ability to catagorize each post and also have multiple users.

I have created a shared blog at the following URL. http://retips.wordpress.com/ It is a CO-OP Blog. The focus of the blog is to have each user post at least once a week about their chosed community. Only one user will be allowed per community.

The value of this concept is that if each person posts once a week with a minimun of 50 words per post, the power of the blog will grow exponentially faster than having one user posting multiple times per week. As a result, the power of your link from the blog to your website will be exponentially more powerful due to the size of the blog.

Read the terms an conditions of this BLOG. This is located here:

If you want to participate, email chieftutor@realestateforum.com with your name, website address, email and city of focus. I will then set you up on the system so that you can begin posting.

Let's create the largest and only COOP BLog on the Internet.

I'd like to get involved in this in the very near future. Right now, I have my hands full with trying to write content for my site.
