We are authorized resellers for GoDaddy through Wild West Domains. This helps our customers because we are able to keep prices down while providing real 24/7/365 service. We’ve seen so many REALTORS® lose their domain names for myriad reasons. This allows us to keep an “eye” on our customer’s domains if they so choose.

People will be surfing for things to do this summer – What do you have up on your Real Estate website? Do you have the local pool info? The skateparks? The parades? The fireworks schedule? The local Farmer’s Markets? Recent home sales in your neighborhood? What are you doing to attract your market?
Hard questions, easy answers……

I’ve been teaching some free technology available to REALTORS® this last 2 months with mixed reviews. Since the market is still very soft, I thought that offering these classes on the free technology would be well recd. Don’t get me wrong, they are well recd, but implementation is where it usually falls apart.
There is still a large contingent of agents that will not embrace technology. If you are reading this, you are not one of those agents. The mere fact that you are reading a blog makes you a go-getter in our industry.
That being said, make sure you and your business are listed on Google Places and Yahoo Small Business. I’m unsure of Bing as far as their rules for submitting your business, but it’s worth submitting there too. What else? IDX is free for almost all of Illinois and many other parts of the country from 2 vendors that we work with. FREE!!! Now you can have your own search for homes feature, branded with your info on every listing. More? How about Squidoo or Hub Pages? You can set these up for nothing and it’s easy.
C O N T E N T – how about content? Always free to write about your market, the summer events, the myriad government programs and anything pertinent to your real estate market. Always keep in mind that Content is KING on the WEB….
Part of what we do is teach, the other part is motivational – which can be accomplished by providing stats and a kick in the butt with love……Of course, you can just hire us to do these things for you at a cost that no other company will match….
But whatever you do – you should be helping yourself for next year by working on your website this year when you have time…..How’s 1 hour every 90 days? If you did that, you’d be doing more than your competition and you would reap the benefits of your work – this I can promise……

My goodness – that was crazy! Deleting 3,900 SPAM messages is no fun (I forgot to activate my Spam filter) SO – this topic is about SPAM.
Even after all the lawsuits, the government intervention and who knows what else – we are still inundated with SPAM every single day of our lives. It’s estimated that now more than 90% of all email is SPAM - 90%! Insanity.
So – do yourself a favor and install any of the freebies from WordPress or invest in Askimet for your blog – as far as Email, Outlook does a great job.
Sorry for the lengthy absence – now you know why….
