Digging into the archives, I found this blog post from only one year ago…
After an absence of 5 days, I enjoyed reading this post from Counter Intelligence that described a situation that I’m sure is familiar to many real estate bloggers: “I’ve got to post a new article today or I’m going to lose readers.
Amen, brother…
No kidding! It seems I have days on end where I have to hold posts in draft status so I don’t bury my most recent “good” entry too soon. Then, suddenly, I get too busy (or have a momentary loss of steam), and worry that we will become yesterday’s newspaper. Quite a responsibility, especially when others don’t share your enthusiasm, but what fun! I suspect as blogging becomes more mainstream within the profession, it will be like agents in general: many participants but few, consistent, serious players.
Months ago in a discussion of blogging on RealTalk, someone who I respect a lot but whom I don’t think understands real estate blogs said : “Anyone care to venture how long it will be before Google starts to penalize blogs as an SEO shortcut? Aren’t easy and bad synonymous in Googledom?”
I had to speak up and say.. really signing up for the blog is the only easy part, blogging is not easy, for me anyway.

When I get just a little behind, what I get behind on really is reading all the posts ahead of me. By the time I’ve read them all to make sure that I am relevant, on topic and don’t repeat anyone else’s blog, another week has slipped by!
Eileen, I’ve definitely been there before… A few weeks ago, I had to clear out my bloglines feeds and start over because I was too far behind in my reading to even catch up! 🙂
