Jim Paulson I have account on Klout - however, don't even know what my score is!

At least now, I am not much concerned about them.

I have very mixed feelings about review sites in general and am selective about which ones I use. On Yelp, for example, anyone can write anything about you, true or false. On Trulia, I collect reviews, because I can invite those I wish to have review me....it offers a little more control.

I appreciate the feedback. I know one agent that really tries to get ranked high solely for the purpose of standing out from the competition. Although the odds of being sole souced due to the rankings, I know it has helped get him selected in a competitive situation with other Realtors for a listing.

Jim,

We tell our clients that it is their offline presence that matters most, as do your client's letters praising you...

If you only want online presence, it doesn't hurt to link to both since they offer free basic service.
