Hi Kay,

Guess I don't see the need for a seperate photo blog. I read your link posting and still feel the same way. Seems to me those of us who add photos hope it will help communicate our message and enhance the eye appeal of the copy.

And why wouldn't I want a prospective buyer to not only see my properties, but also get to know me better through my writing? Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

Hi Linda - Most people think of AR as a real estate forum for Realtors. To be honest, in the past year, although I was aware of AR, it didn't occur to me to look here for homes for sale.

An independent blog is another way to reach people that are more accustomed to reading blogs as separate entities. You should, of course, write an occasional article on that blog too, but aimed toward the consumer rather than other real estate agents.

Also, as hard as links are to come by, it never hurts to build your link base.

Kay,

If you're talking about an outside blog that's one thing, many of us do. And I'm in agreement with linking, etc. Most of my posts on AR are localism, therefore hopefully they reach the consumers. Better tags, better exposure in the long run.

I thought you somehow said "photo" blog, guess that's what was confusing to me. Thanks for your response.

Lynda, actually I did say "photo" blog - referring to the type of blog I wrote about in my previous post. Many agents complain they have no time for a blog, but that would be a simple way to get an outside blog up and running without having to write a lot.

Hi kay...look forward to your posts...headed over to facebook to add you..
