    I just clicked on the Geek Real Estate link and was re-directed to this site – http://www.century21waldorf.com/

  2. Hi, I'm Jeff Turner And I Got Here Before Rudy

    I got Century 21 Waldorf as well. Are you saying they are geeks?

  3. Kelley Koehler

    think she meant geekrealtors.com?

  4. Ines

    I’m always happy to make it on any list ( well…maybe not EVERY)

    Shall we make a list of our own? How about our own list of penguins?

  5. Mike Price

    Marianna, Guess I’m chopped liver but my blog did come in at number 44. The list is at GeekRealtors.com. GeekRealEstate is indeed a C21 agent. Wonder how long it will be for they get the infamous NAR slap down for that domain name? To answer your question on how they did the rankings, they combined Google Page Rank with Technorati and Alexa Rankings.

  6. Mariana

    Well… Nice to see y’all are paying attention! Apparently, I wasn’t. Geek Real Estate .com DOES redirect to some C21 site. Nice. I fix-ed it. Thank you for your patience… Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

  7. Mariana

    Mike – Der. I fix-ed that one too. Sorry for the oversight. [refresh]

  8. Jonathan Dalton

    Call me pissy but …

    My Technorati rank’s higher than much of the list. My Alexa rank is with most of the list, not that it makes that fact relevant in the slightest. My page rank is with the rest of the list.

    I’m behind a local blog that features one or two posts a month and none since mid-January.

    Of course I’m free to submit my own site but screw that. I’m not invisible. Neither’s my site.

    Whatever.

    I was just teasin ya Mariana but thanks for the link love just the same. :)

    JD, this list showed up in my technorati back links the other day, I’ve spent more time on it with these last couple of comments than I did when I saw it in the first place. You’re visible to anyone who matters, and that’s all that really matters in the matter, wouldn’t you agree? :)

    They’re gonna get a spanking from NAR, what a shame.

  11. Larry Yatkowsky

    Does NAR mean Not Always Right?
    Methinks someone must have thought this before because with big brother watching I rarely have original thoughts. .>)

    Hello every one. My name is Vlad. I was the one responsible for compiling the list and I apologize for missing anyone. Feel free to submit your blogs.

    It was my oversight regarding “geekrealtors” domain and not an attempt to infringe. In fact our goal was to bring a little more exposure to some great real estate blogs out there.

    @Johnathan Dalton- I believe there is another Arizona blog on the list. If my memory correct there are three Arizona blogs on the list. Your blog was not on the list until I read this thread. Now it is. Unfortunately the list updates only once a week.

    I also believe the fact that list is out there is more important what place your blog is at. Just think about it as an extra link to your website.

  13. Benn Rosales

    Vlad, welcome to agentgenius.com

    I certainly understand why you used it, in fact, the original name of this site was realtorgenius.com until NAR said NO… You may want to be proactive and make the switch now because the c&d is probably going to be in your box in a few months (if not days or weeks). It was meant merely as an fyi, because I assure you, we at agentgenius.com don’t really care.

  14. Mariana

    NAR= Not Always Right … LOL!

    Vlad – Hiya! Thank you for taking the time to put that list together.

  15. Vlad

    @Ben. Thanks we’ll do all we cane to keep up our list, even if takes different domain.

    @Mariana. Thank you.

  16. Michael Price

    Vlad, be sure to come back and comment when you move it to a new domain. Are you considering any additional metrics to rank the blogs?

  17. Vlad

    Michael,

    I will definitely let you know about the new location of the list.

    I am not sure if we are ready to consider other metrics. Although all three Alexa, Google PR and Technorati statistics can be scrutinized, it is not possible to keep these statistics inflated for a longer period of time. I think for now combination of these three will do it. But we are opened to suggestions.

  18. Laurie Manny

    Thanks Mariana, just went over to check it out and found myself on the list. Thanks Vlad!

  19. Mariana

    YAY Laurie! :)

  20. Jonathan Dalton

    Vlad – appreciate the link but still a little wary of the concept. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the Technorati rankings, Alexa rankings (which ain’t worth much) and the rest. Blogtopsites tracks traffic. Is that better? Is traffic the goal?

    Not so sure …

  21. Vlad

    Jonathan,

    Blogtopsites also gives you a link via redirect, we give a clean friendly link. Besides not every blog on our list has installed “blogtopsites” badges on their websites. We can have fun trying, can’t we?

  22. Dee Copeland

    Awesome! I’m 74….look waaaaay down on the list! :-)

  23. Vlad

    Just in case any one follow comments here. In light of some suggestions the list was moved a new domain:

    Thanks every one for the feedback.

  24. Mariana

    Thanks for the link, Vlad!
