Good information thanks,

Thanks for your comment Patricia. :)

Good news, Shannon, but how do I check my stats?  Right now I'm #2 in Missouri.

Actually Joan, I'm referring to stats on my website www.ShannonLefevre.com , not my Active Rain blog site.  I don't know if you can check web stats for your blog site or not.  That's a great question to throw out to the Active Rain group!  Does anyone else know?

I write my localim posts about Hawaii etc.....I have googled Hawaiian Superstitions and my post pops up! Never know what our titles, keywords and tags will bring!

Very interesting!  You are on a roll today!  I'm going to blog about being the best agent in Naples so I'll show up there too!  Too bad it doesn't work for next winner of 3 billion dollar lottery ticket! :)

For my website I match the keywords/metatags with pertinent content words on each page....will bring some good stuff!

Me too Sally!  It's time consuming but well worth it! 

Good job Naples Smart Girl.  It seems as though you've positioned yourself as THE smart girl in Naples, as in the only one since you are coming up in these searches.  By the way, could you help me out if I were looking for a COMDO in or around a SWAMPLAND?  Maybe this could be your alternate tag-line "Shannon Lefevre....The Comdo Queen" or "Shannon Lefevre...Your Swampland Sweethart."  No charge for the marketing consultation ;-).

You're always on your toes Adam! By the way...what goof would want to buy a Florida swamp???

Thanks for the great advice...I'm still trying to get those key words to pay off on my personal site!

It was a long process for me Diane but there's a lot of great content on A.R. that will help you get your site positioned where you want it to be.  The biggest factor that helped me was linking my favorite keywords in Active Rain to important pages on my website.  I can't believe how much it helped and in some cases within minutes!!!

I think this post is very interesting -- have so many to read up on that I will bookmark it for tonights reading! I connected with your 'pink' website! I think your website also should keyword  'Pretty In Pink Smart Girl (in Naples), Great Results' ...Nice website!! Love your profile, speaks directly to the prospective client!

Hi Shannon.  Congratulations and good work for tracking down how people are finding you. 

Candace:  Hey!  You c & p'd my title on my website!  Very cool!  Thanks for all the compliments! :)

Don:  Thanks for your comments and support!  :)

Shannon - Yes- I love graphics...I think in my next life I will do something with graphics, my heritage before and after me is full of artsy relatives!! I also connected your photo with your website link so everyone could see how cute it is-- from another polka-dot and pink lover! ps. thx for adding me!

Candace,  Aren't you clever and busy!  17 listings??? You've got it going on my friend!!  Thanks for your support.  :)

Shannon - I love the photos on your web-site, it reminds me of my favorite place to go -Naples. When I can afford to buy there _you would be the first I call. For now, I'll just continue to stay at the Ritz. lol. BTW- did Google placement had any affect yet on your leads? Thanks to AR, I got to be in the middle of Page#1. To early yet for me to expect leads. My web site never generated anything.

Shannon - that nameless comment is from me - I did not notice i wasn't logged-in, so it did not put the name.

Faina:  My website has generated over 6 million in sales for me so far this year and leads are starting to pick up (both emails and phone calls) since Active Rain so I have to assume it's a direct corelation.  The hits I've gotten on my website through Active Rain and Localism are consistent now too so if I keep talking about what I love, Naples real estate, I have to assume it will continue to stuff the pipe until something pops! Congratulations on your search engine success.  I really think this is going to be huge! 

By the way, prices have been coming down for awhile in Naples.  There might be some pretty good bargains right now.  If you want to snoop around...Thanks for your comment Faina!

Ian:  Now if I could just have some one print that graphic and scatter it all over the upper east coast say after the first snow fall...I'd really have something there...wouldn't I?  HUGS! :)

don't push it, hugs back

btw-- Shannon, I have a few less listings. The option of the virtual tour on Point2 was impressive to one of my Broker's client that she asked me to put up a few of her listings on it! So I don't have 17 total, about 11. However, what's a listing if we can't get them sold around here! Education is crucial with sellers in our market currently now. Helping them understand the market is soft and not like what their neighbor sold the house 12 months ago, every month we are seeing the sales price drop. Price adjusts are key and I try to keep my sellers up on the lastest updates so they are informed. Have a great weekend!

CANDACE:  You are a smart girl!  Price adjustments are SO important and difficult to go after for some people but absolutely imparative for selling success.  Good job for being the responsible, courageous one to share the "not so popular" but important info. with your seller's so they can ultimately hit their goal!  I wish there were more of you in the business.

LOL--- Do I see a group being formed?  'Smart Girl (REALTOR), Great Results'  Now that would be a good place for female Realtors to gather!!  Oh--and it is adorned in everything 'pink'.....sorry guys!!
