Organizing Your Real Estate Blog

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Bloggers like to tinker and constantly update things, which is part of what makes them so fun to watch. If you follow a blog you’ve probably noticed its look changing over time, and the writer’s voice evolving as particular stories and catchphrases shape his or her language. Real estate, in particular, is a well blogged subject, where new sites appear and old ones change every day. Real estate blog is one way to increase the success of your online business, especially in the field of property ventures. In order to achieve their goal of profit and popularity, many profit-minded individuals are now setting up their own blog site to further improve their business. With so many information resources and competitive voices out there, the challenge in this endeavor is how to target the best content ideas and blog-related features for use on your site.

Since most blogs use a scrolling design dominated by text, there’s never a lot of space for third party tools, outbound links, and links to other parts of the blog. Many blogs include a large, well organized block of links at the bottom of the page, underneath the posts. The most important links can go at the top of the page and in the side-nav, but if the text and headlines are minimized too far, readers will start to disappear. Space for advertising is also important to keep in mind – ads can help a blog look more legitimate, but they can quickly intrude onto the page. Most bloggers stick to just a banner ad at the top and bottom, and maybe a skyscraper next to the side-nav.

Understanding why your blog is perhaps the most important step in organizing your posts and on-page features. If you’re blogging mainly for people who have already been to your real estate site, you probably won’t need to include as many tools, like maps, market stats displays, and listings – a prominent link back to your site will almost always suffice here. It’s best to second-guess including features like these in any case. To track user traffic, and whether or not to tools like these should migrate to your blog, pay close attention to the stats provided by your hosting company, or if your blog isn’t hosted , you can use a free stats plugin like Google Analytics, or Firestats. More common non-native blog features like social networking links and email feed subscriptions should be always be considered, but used in moderation.
