There is a black hat SEO term that you should know about. It is called Parasitic hosting. That is you parasite off of one web property to grab their traffic to get to your money page.
In today's Social arena that is the point. Anything else is frittering. Perhaps Twitter was aptly named. OK sure, networking is important, but the only way to real ROI is to put content on your social nets that will build your brand and bring the people(are you targeting/friending the right people?) back to your Branded website.
And there are some agents out there that will say that they answered a question on some social site and got a prospect. Yippee! After all those hours and hours of work. Good job. Try door knocking or calling expired listings if you are that easily impressed.
Now there are ways to get in some of these other networks to get somewhat easy terms to rank in the engines. If you know what you are doing you can get ranked easily in You Tube, Wordpress, and similar so called "authority" web properties. We will be discussing these techniques in Real Estate Guerilla Coaching Club.
Thanks for the info - I believe in the power of social networking without a doubt! I recently posted this article on Twitter and saw a nice jump in traffic. http://www.acreageanywhere.com/specialty_articles/sustainable_building_-_what_makes_a_building_green.html
