<title>Listing Co-marketing across KW offices using Wolfnet</title>
<link>http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/blog/ListingCoMarketing</link>
<description>Warning: techie post.</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[
  <div align="left">
   <br />
   The problem: I want to co-market listings with agents that are in another
   KW market center.<br />
   <br />
   The solution:<br />
   <br />
   (from Clent Scott at KW support)<br />
   <br />
   <hr size="2" width="100%" />
   <br />
   <span class="Apple-style-span"
   style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
   Technically the agents cannot share listings in KWLS if they are in<br />
   different offices. &nbsp;However, I can write a search string with a
   Wolfnet<br />
   URL that will get around that little problem. &nbsp;Please see my
   example<br />
   search string below.<br />
   <br />
   <a
   href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/kwls/kw?action=newsearchsession&amp;agent_id=123456,111111,222222"
    target="_blank"
   style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);">http://www.mlsfinder.com/kwls/<wbr />kw?action=newsearchsession&amp;<wbr />
   agent_id=123456<br />
   ,111111,222222</a><br />
   <br />
   The above string uses the KWLS search base URL of<br />
   <a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/kwls/kw?action=newsearchsession"
   target="_blank"
   style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);">http://www.mlsfinder.com/kwls/<wbr />kw?action=newsearchsession</a><br />

   <br />
   Then add the parameters using the &amp; symbol. &nbsp;For this example I
   added<br />
   the "agent_id=" parameter. &nbsp;What follows is the KW associate IDs<br />
   separated by a comma. &nbsp;Using this, you can add any associates ID to
   the<br />
   query and have their listings appear.<br />
   <br />
   Note that this is basically the search co-marketing builds, the only<br />
   difference is people have to opt into co-marketing and can only
   market<br />
   with agents in their office. The above search will bypass all of that<br />
   nonsense ;)<br />
   <br />
   </span>
   <hr size="2" width="100%" />
   <span class="Apple-style-span"
   style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
   <br />
   <br />
   Enjoy!<br />
   <br />
   Jack<br />

   <b>How does information on my blog differ from information on my
   website?<br />
   </b> There are 2 parts to this answer:</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   <b>Search Engines</b>: Websites are predominately static and can bel
   ignored by search engines, whereas blogs get search engine recognition much
   quicker and easier.</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   <b>Functionality</b>: It is much easier to publish information to a blog
   than it is to a website. From there, you can set your blog up to reflect
   the information that you have on your blog.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">5.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>
   <b>How do search engines know the difference between websites and
   blogs?<br />
   </b> Blogs and websites are set up differently from the back end and search
   engines understand that difference. Additionally, blogs are generally
   updated more frequently than websites, which get the attention of search
   engines faster and more consistently.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">6.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>
   <b>How long does it take the search engines to start ranking a blog for
   certain keywords?<br />
   </b> This depends on which keywords you are trying to rank for. The more
   competition for these keywords, the longer it may take. On the other hand,
   niche keywords may take less time to rank. There are ways to make your blog
   rank faster, even for popular keywords. We will go over exactly HOW to do
   that in the Fast Track Coaching Sessions.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">7.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>
   <b>How many leads should I expect from my search engine placement?<br />
   </b> Once you begin ranking high for certain keywords, the amount of leads
   that you will get will be determined by HOW you capture and cultivate those
   visitors. Blogging is predominately just a tool to help you get
   visitors/traffic. What you DO with that traffic is up to you.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">8.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>
   <b>Should I link my blog to my website?<br />
   </b> Definitely. You should have a link from your website to your blog and
   from your blog to your website. You can also syndicate your blog posts to
   your website, which we will explain in the Fast Track Coaching
   Sessions.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">9.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>
   <b>Is it better to have a blog instead of a website?<br />
   </b> No. For most real estate agents, a blog is designed to support your
   website. Eventually both your blog and your website will "rank" in the
   search engines.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">10.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>What are
   ideas of things to write about?<br />
   </b> The Fast Track Blog Coaching sessions will include an intensive list
   of content ideas. However, the main things that you can write about
   are:</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   Market reports</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   Neighborhood profiles</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   Buyer and Seller FAQ's</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">11.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>How much
   time per day should I spend blogging?<br />
   </b> You can spend as little or as much time as your schedule allows. But
   remember, the more well-structured, relevant and interesting blog posts
   that you write, the faster you will start seeing results in the search
   engines. I recommend spending 5-6 "off-peak" hours a week and posting 2-3
   blog posts a week on your blog.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">12.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>How long
   is a typical post?<br />
   </b> A blog post is as long or as short as you want it to be. However, 1-3
   paragraphs is a good target length. The Fast Track Blog Coaching courses
   will go over how to put together a great post, and will include information
   on HOW to find the perfect length for you and your blog.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">13.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Can we
   delegate blogging?<br />
   </b> If you have someone that you trust to write competent and valuable
   information for your blog, then yes. However, part of the success of
   blogging comes from the personality behind the blog, which for the most
   part, should be yours.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">14.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Can other
   people, besides me, write on my blog?<br />
   </b> Definitely. You can add to the content of your blog by having "Guest
   Bloggers" write articles on your blog. Guest bloggers can be anyone that
   you trust to write quality and relevant information, and can include,
   lenders, appraisers, inspectors, bankers and other real estate
   professionals that may specialize in areas that you do not.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">15.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Which
   platform should we use?<br />
   </b> Your eAgentC website has a Top Producer blog ready to be attached to
   it. It is FREE, based off the WordPress platform and easy to use.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">16.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Do I have
   to have a Top Producer account to use the Top Producer Blog?<br />
   </b> No. This is a free blog that Keller Williams has made accessible to KW
   agents whether you have a TP account or not.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">17.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Should we
   have multiple blogs?<br />
   </b> No. Unless you decide that you LOVE blogging, one blog should be
   sufficient. Should you decide that you LOVE blogging, you could eventually
   make separate blogs for the different niche markets that you work.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">18.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Do we
   need a separate domain name for our blogs?<br />
   </b> Yes. Initially, your eAgentC blog will have a domain name that
   includes "featuredblog" in the URL. You can purchase any domain name that
   you want and point it (or redirect it fir a small fee) to your blog. This
   way when anyone types in your newly purchased domain name, it will take
   them directly to your blog.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">19.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>How do
   your check your traffic?<br />
   </b> There is a "statistics" tab in your blog that will give you
   information on your traffic. Additionally, you can set up "Google
   Analytics" to track your traffic as well.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">20.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Are the
   eAgentC blogs search engine friendly?<br />
   </b> Absolutely. In fact, we have seen some of these blogs get search
   engine placement in less than 3 months.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">21.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>How do we
   find images for our blog?<br />
   </b> Most images on the internet are copy written and you cannot use them
   in your blog without getting in trouble and being assessed fines. We will
   go over different resources for great, usable photos in the Blog Fast Track
   Sessions. However, for now, the best resources for images that you can use
   are:</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   Photos that you take yourself</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span
   style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>·<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span>
   Microsoft Clip Art</p>

   <p style="margin-left: 1.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;">Royalty free stock
   photography that is licenses for online usage<br />
   </p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">22.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Should we
   add video?<br />
   </b> If you want to add video then definitely, but it is not a requirement.
   If you DO add video, make sure you have plenty of written content as well.
   Even though visitors will love the video, the search engines do not
   acknowledge video as content.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">23.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>What is
   the reason for BOLD text in a blog?<br />
   </b> How you format your blog posts is extremely important. BOLD text does
   have a significance, but you have to use it correctly. We will explain this
   (along with other formatting tools) in great detail in the Fast Track Blog
   Coaching.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">24.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Can you
   use information on your website on your blog?<br />
   </b> Absolutely. I would take each thing that you already have on your
   website and write a post about it… expand it out.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">25.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Should I
   post the same blog in different places?<br />
   </b> &nbsp;There are exceptions, but for the most part, no. Your content
   should stay on your blog. If you have another place that you want to share
   a blog post that you wrote, then share SOME of it and include a link back
   to your blog so that readers can "continue reading" or "view the full
   post".</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">26.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>I have a
   blog on Active Rain. Should I get an additional blog as well?<br />
   </b> Yes. Blogging on Active Rain is a great place to start and get your
   feet wet with blogging. But remember, you are blogging amongst all your
   competition and it is very easy for a visitor to wander away from your
   posts to your competitions' posts.</p>

   <p style="text-indent: -0.25in;">27.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>Does
   Active Rain have a higher ranking than a personal blog?<br />
   </b> Everything is always changing, but Active Rain will rank higher than a
   new blog, but in most cases, if you are dedicated to your blog, you will
   eventually outrank Active Rain.</p>

   <p style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">28.<span
   style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <b>What
   about the new Active Rain "Outside" Blogs?<br />
   </b> Those are nice, but there is a severe limitation as to how you can
   customize it to serve your business needs (you cannot add separate pages,
   nor set it up to be a great lead capture machine like you could your own
   blog) and there are still links that you CANNOT remove that lead to your
   competition.</p>

<title>Generate more Leads with Blogging!</title>
<link>http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/blog/blogfasttrackinfojune2008</link>
<description>Another great opportunity from MAPS! 

Gather more leads with less effort!</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[
  <div align="left">
   <br />
    

   <p>When you partner up with a MAPS Blog coach, you will learn the answers
   to your questions and learn how blogging can <i>and will</i> positively
   enhance the profitability of your current business.</p>
   <br />
    

   <p><b>A Real Estate Blog is a form of Internet Lead Generation.</b></p>

   <ul>
    <li>Blogs can rank higher and quicker on search engines than most
    websites.</li>

    <li>40% of all search engine searches are for local businesses and
    services.</li>

    <li>92% of all local searches will eventually convert into a sale.</li>

    <li>Roughly 10 billion search queries made per day. ( <a
    href="http://www.searchingsolutions.com">searchingsolutions.com</a> )</li>
   </ul>
   There is a lot of business to be had in the world of real estate
   blogging.<br />
   <br />
   <br />
    

   <p><b>Blogging gives you, the Real Estate agent, the opportunity
   to:</b></p>

   <ul>
    <li>Establish your position as the “expert” in ANY area, by writing about
    what you already know.</li>

    <li>Push your blog/website to the top pages of search engines for multiple
    terms.</li>

    <li>Become THE referral source for your area.</li>

    <li>Increase your income through the blogging and internet lead
    generation.</li>
   </ul>
   <br />
    

   <p><b>The top four objections that people have, and some answers
   include:</b></p>

   <ul>
    <li>“I don’t have time to blog” – Blogging takes up less time than you
    would think.</li>

    <li>“I am not a great writer.” – Effective story-telling is just one facet
    of great blogging.</li>

    <li>“I don’t know what to write about.” - Use your blog to answer
    frequently asked questions, share market reports, create neighborhood
    profiles, offer Buyer/Seller Tips and share community information</li>

    <li>“Blogging is too expensive.” – Keller Williams offers a FREE blog
    attached to your KW website. Learn how to set it up at <a
    href="http://mykwblog.wordpress.com/e/">mykwblog.wordpress.com/e/</a></li>

    Benefits to you are that your listings will be distributed to&nbsp;listing

   <div>
    <font face="Arial" size="2"><span class="427010321-29022008">3) Set your
    featured properties on your Eagentc site to display "Local Market
    Data".&nbsp;&nbsp;You can do this by setting the the local market data to
    display in section 4.2 or your Eagentc website tool.&nbsp; Select the
    first radio button on that page, labelled "Display your local MLS
    data".&nbsp; <strong><em>Why?</em></strong>&nbsp; If you use the local
    market data instead of KWLS display, you get the benefit of all the lead
    capture tools in your Wolfnet account <strong>AND</strong> as a bonus any
    photos you uploaded to the MLS plus any photos you put in KWLS will appear
    automatically on the listing display&nbsp;- less work for you, and more
    photos for your clients!</span></font>

    <br />
    Some Caveats!<br />
    <br />
    1) Check your featured properties after you make this change and make sure
    they are all there.&nbsp; If they are not, check that your listings in the
    MLS system are all flagged to be included in the IDX data feed.&nbsp; In
    most MLS systems this is the default.&nbsp; You can also contact
    support@kw.com for help if your listings are not showing up.<br />
    <br />
    2) If you do a lot of co-marketing of listings make sure that your
    co-marketing partners ALSO have their listings marked to go into the IDX
    feed in the MLS system.&nbsp; That way, when people click featured
    properties on your site they will see your listings and theirs.&nbsp; The
    easiest way to check is to make sure all their featured properties show up
    in the featured property page on Wolfnet.<br />

<title>Wolfnet adds custom IDX search link builder tool</title>
<link>http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/blog/WolfnetIDXCustomSearchLinks</link>
<description>Wolfnet updates their IDX search tool to allow users to build their own custom search links for their websites.</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[
  <div align="left">
   <br />
    If you have ever wanted to have links on your website that go directly to
   an IDX search result, Wolfnet now has a new tool that will help you quickly
   and easily build these links.<br />
   <br />
    Some examples of how you might use this: Create links to searches by price
   range, or for specific zip codes, neighborhoods, or property types.<br />
   <br />
    Example:<br />
   <br />
   &nbsp;<br />

   <h3 align="center">Condos, Townhomes, and Lofts in 78701 (Downtown
   Austin)<br />
   </h3>

   <div align="center">
    <a
    href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.mlsfinder.com/tx_actris/kari?action=newsearchsession&amp;zip_code=78701&amp;min_price=10000&amp;max_price=150000&amp;condo=Y&amp;townhouse=Y&amp;loft=Y','','resizable=yes,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,fullscreen=no,dependent=no,width=850,height=400,left=100,top=100'))">
    Under 150</a><br />
     <a
    href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.mlsfinder.com/tx_actris/kari?action=newsearchsession&amp;zip_code=78701&amp;min_price=150000&amp;max_price=260000&amp;condo=Y&amp;townhouse=Y&amp;loft=Y','','resizable=yes,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,fullscreen=no,dependent=no,width=850,height=400,left=100,top=100'))">
    150-250k</a><br />
     <a
    href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.mlsfinder.com/tx_actris/kari?action=newsearchsession&amp;zip_code=78701&amp;min_price=250000&amp;max_price=360000&amp;condo=Y&amp;townhouse=Y&amp;loft=Y','','resizable=yes,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,fullscreen=no,dependent=no,width=850,height=400,left=100,top=100'))">

    Show me everything!</a><br />
   </div>
   &nbsp;<br />
    Here is how to find the tool:<br />
   <br />
    <img
   alt="You must log into your Wolfnet Back office to use the custom idx search link tool"
    src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/WolfnetURLSearchBuilder.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
   <br />
    You must log into your Wolfnet Back office to use the custom idx search
   link tool. Once you are in the tool, enter the parameters for your canned
   search, and copy the URL that is generated.&nbsp; Note that you will have
   to tab out of the field you just updated for the search link to be
   updated.<br />
   <br />
    <img
   alt="You can select the custom idx search link and right click on it to copy it to your clipboard. Select the copy menu item to do this."
    src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/WolfnetURLSearchBuilderCopyLink.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
   <br />
    You can then insert this link on your KW website using the link tool while
   you are editing pages.<br />
   <br />
    <img
   alt="To edit your website, you must log into the KW intranet. Find the page you want to add your link to add your link text"
    src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/WolfnetURLSearchBuilderInsertLink.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
    <img alt="You can use control-v to paste in your custom idx search link."
   src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/WolfnetURLSearchBuilderPasteLink.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
   <br />
    Finally, for these type of search links I recommend setting them as pop up
   windows, so that users don't lose track of where they were on your
   website.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is what the pop up looks like:<br />
   <br />
    <img
   alt="Creating a pop up is a great way to prevent people from losing track of where they were on your website."
    src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/WolfnetURLSearchBuilderPopUp.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
    If they close the pop up, they are still on your site (which you can see
   in the background of this image).&nbsp;<br />
   <br />
    Don't be worried about pop-up blockers, since links like this are clicked
   on by the users pop up blockers don't stop them.<br />
   <br />
    You can set these links as pop ups by going to the "target" tab of the
   insert link tool dialogue box.&nbsp; I recommend setting some of the pop up
   options, like allowing resizing and scrolling of the pop up window, and I
   also recommend setting the pop up window size and position on their
   screen.&nbsp; Here is a screen capture of my recommended options.<br />
   <br />
    <img
   alt="Pop up options allow you to control exactly where the pop up box appears on the screen. The options here have been tested at screen resolution of 1024x768, which is the most common resolution currently."
    src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/WolfnetURLSearchBuilderPopUpOptions.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
    These options work well with computers that are at 1024x768 resolution,
   which is currently the most popular screen resolution.&nbsp; They will work
   fine with higher resolutions as well.&nbsp; Lower resolutions may need to
   move the window after it pops up.<br />
   <br />
    Good luck with building your custom IDX searches!<br />

<title>Scoble's Starfish in Real Estate</title>
<link>http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/blog/ScobleStarfish</link>
<description>How the starfish works in the Real Estate industry</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[
  <div align="left">
   <br />
    I've been following a discussion by Robert Scoble and others about how
   people find you, and eventually decide to transact with in in the context
   of the Internet.&nbsp; Of course, things are a little different in real
   estate, but the core concepts are basically the same.<br />
   <br />
    This is a diagram that I created early last year to explain what is being
   called the "Starfish", the multiple tentacles that extend into different
   user contexts and that lead them back to your website where they are
   captured.<br />
   <br />
    <img
   src="http://www.jackmillerconsulting.com/images/agentwebsitelinkcollection.jpg" />
   <br />
   <br />
   <br />
    I'm developing a list of all the places that I think it makes sense to
   place your tentacles - some are mentioned in this diagram, and some I'm
   still collecting information about.&nbsp; There are a lot of places you
   *can* show up on the Internet, and it helps to have evaluated the value of
   some places over others in terms of traffic and audience.<br />
   <br />
    A short plug: My next Internet Lead Generation class for Real Estate
   starts January 8th.&nbsp; There is a free call you can watch and listen to

   <br />
    So, last night I spent the evening at an event sponsored by a small,
   will-not-be-mentioned software company.&nbsp; They obviously had spent big
   bucks to sponsor this event, and the event organizers to their credit made
   a point of mentioning the sponsors several times during the show.<br />
   <br />
    I left the show interested in the company, and wanting to find out more
   today I went to Google and typed in their name.<br />
   <br />
    Nothing but pages of non-relevant results.<br />
   <br />
    I tried their name, plus "software", plus even more detailed descriptions
   of things I saw promoted.<br />
   <br />
    No dice.&nbsp; Nada.&nbsp; Can't find 'em.<br />
   <br />
    From my perspective, they might have just as well burned the money they
   spent on the event.&nbsp; Since there were no trinkets handed out with
   their URL on it, I really have no good way to find out about them.<br />
   <br />
    My best guess is they have some fancy website made all in flash, with
   little or no search engine readable text anywhere to be found.&nbsp; Plus,
   their company name did not lead me to an obvious url to type in - so I'm
   just one more potential buyer, adrift and unlikely to purchase.<br />
   <br />
    UPDATE:<br />
   <br />
    I did find their site after a few more guesses at their domain name - and
   voila, a fancy flash website with only a few keywords in the meta
   tags.&nbsp; Once I found that, I did see that they could be found by an
   obvious variation on their name - one word instead of two, i.e.
   "softwarecompany" vs. "software company", but it makes you wonder how many
   hits they are missing from people that make this mistake.&nbsp; Obvious
   take away - more key phrases (exact matches and close ones), more text,
   more find-ability.<br />
   <br />
    I will be forwarding them a copy of this blog entry, and a referral to a
   company I work with that does search engine visibility.&nbsp; In this day
   and age, a business can't be hard to find online, and even a few small
   tweaks make a difference.<br />
   <br />
    BTW, Great show guys!&nbsp; Thanks for supporting the local arts scene in
   Austin!<br />
