Morgan Carey's Blog: REW Blogs

This post is for those of you with multiple blogs

As many of us have found out, there are many great places to blog and increase our online exposure and solicit new business. Often times REW members will not only have an REW Blog here at Real Estate Webmasters, they will also have an Active Rain Blog and a blog on your personal or company website such as Jim Olenbush's Austin Real Estate Blog.

Now "hopefully" users are not posting duplicate content on each of these blogs as having unique content is a bonus from a search engine perspective, but also at each website you post, the readership will be slightly different.

Ok so I have 3 blogs and I want to make the most out of them by getting myself some link juice, but how can I link to my other blogs… Read Full Post

I come across this one particular situation quite a bit and it just flat out bothers me. What I am referring to is the practice of hyper linking keywords within a blog post to your websites that are not relevant (Or so loosely associated) to the phrase being hyper linked and more importantly the context of the article - THIS IS NOT GOOD SEO and quite frankly it makes your blog post look spammy, and provides your readers with a very negative user experience.

REW Blogs are different than a lot of the other real estate blogging platforms in the sense that they are set up with many different elements, each one with it's own specific function constructed to help the user make the most of their blogs, and help them not only maintain a very high level of quality, but also make sure they are always in compliance with all search engines terms of usage.

We also make constant improvements to REW blogs to help the users get their blogs seen by those internet users who will be interested in their services. In order to help new users find all of the helpful blog posts and forum threads I am going to compile a list of the information and tutorials available which are right now scattered between the blogs and forums.

When setting up an REW Blog, it is important to understand the technology and features and more importantly how to use them. This tutorial is meant to help REW Blog users set up their blogs for maximum exposure, great click through and user friendliness.

Step one: Your right hand profile.

This is perhaps the most important portion of the REW Blog setup, as you are creating the area of your blog where people will see your face, and read a short bio about you. It also contains the links to your website, listings added to REW blogs, and your contact page.

There are basically 2 components to the right hand side the photo and the writeup.

Component 1: The photo - Your photo is the visual presentation of yourself to your readers. It should be… Read Full Post

One of the things many posters don't take the time to do is use images in their blogs. Readers love images, and by integrating images into your blogs you will capture your readers attention more, and they will come back more often to see what interesting articles (Supported with images) you have posted.
