Active Rain provided me with a great place to learn, and also ‘introduced’ me to many people that I have been able to meet IRL at various events. I’ll be forever indebted to Active Rain. Their Localism site intrigued me, and now almost anything I post on AR is for the Localism site. However, I’ve noticed I don’t get the Google alerts for AR anymore, and no one seems to know why. I don’t post on AR as often as I used to, mainly because I have too much to do on my own websites. Regardless, there’s a wealth of information on AR whether you want to blog or not.

It never fails to amaze me that even one of the most “experienced” bloggers on AR hijacks other posts (even here on AG!!) with their very common “we are so wonderful and we’ll be the first to tell you” crap … speaking of diarrhea.

Active Rain has two reasons that help me as a Maine REALTOR that made your list. One, you have a resource, friends you make from daily interactions in the real estate trenches that you can pick up the phone, call, shoot an email to and quickly get a handle on how they handle this or that. So there is the behind the scenes and studying other markets, what works there. There is so much new internet options to implement and time saving on how to do it, what is not worth doing is crucial in time managment.

Second, search engine results on the community posts with the helpful links, embedded real video we produce, do get results. I can see the views and know it is worth the effort to feed the blog. But also have a stand alone blog MeInMaine, etc along with other sister platforms all designed to make the phone ring, emails to pour in, folks to wander in to the office to list, sell, buy real estate.

It appears some of the visitors to this and other sites don’t completely understand what Google Juice is.

It is a full time job to type and submit all those entries. I am in the middle of trying to get Buyers ready to buy before FHA rules & requirements change. I am putting together a SHORT SALE & Auction seminar. People on the east coast have little idea as to selling or buying through auctions. Auctions are a great way to get your SHORT SALES moving with multiple offers.
