Blog and web site

**nickSF** · 07-12-2006, 10:01 AM

I am thinking about using a blog. Most of the RE blogs I looked at are separate from the web site or look different. That does not seem right from a marketing standpoint. What do others think?

Blogs are a great way to increase your exposure on the internet. It is also a great way to build content on your website. We use them to advertise properties on the internet. In addition, we have them connected to our site and use that blog as a current events real estate section for our area.

Used correctly, Blogs are a realtors best friend.

I agree blogs are good but many blogs are not on the agent's web site or have a different design. I think it would be better if the blog looked on the agent site and looked the same as the rest of the site. Any opinions?

You can get wordpress or some other blogging software and intergrate it into your site. I use wordpress, and I could (although I really haven't) customize the blog as much as I want. Check it out

look at the page above, and then click on the link and look at the blog. It isn't the exact same look, but it has some continuity.

Coffee cup has good blog software also. I am currently in the process of putting one on our site. You can down load a free trial of the software at their website. It also allows you to integrate it into your site design.

Blogs are a very good marketing tool. You cannot lose with a blog.

You can also put a blog on a subdomain of your web site (i.e. http://blog.yoursite.com). Since search engines currently treat sub domains as unique domains, you don't have to worry about any cross linking problems.
