- 10 Great Conversations. This was the first of my “list” posts and was a lot of fun to put together…
- The Best Online Real Estate Marketing Time Can Buy. Getting people to return to your site day in and day out is simple (but not easy)… Be interesting!
- Improving Online Home Valuations? I like this article mainly because it jump-started a bunch of internal discussions at Move about real estate blogging.
- Plus How to Link. I include this one because I’m often shocked at how many real estate agents think they can blog without linking…
- Paying for the Privilege of Marginalization. I don’t think the real estate community at large has really come to grips with what it means to take part in some of these online classified sites and the tech-savvy agents seem to have given into their fatalistic instincts in terms of their industry as a whole. Fascinating stuff that borders on the “can’t tread there anymore” territory for me… 🙂
And finally, I found it particularly fun to read the slew of interviews I did at the beginning of last year. Lots of stuff has changed in a year in real estate blogging, but not as much as you might think!

I feel guilty for not answering your (and Ardell’s) meme… I’ll get there!
So the bubble posts didn’t make the grade eh?
Casey,
I had a few I was wondering about too 🙂 NONE of the ones people hired me after having read them, made it. Odd.
