Mike Andruff in Vancouver posted a video recapping the REW Conference in Nanaimo BC last month.  It’s nice to see some friends on there.  I hope Real Estate Webmasters hosts another next year!

People seem to go to greater lengths to keep from losing something they have than they would to acquire something they don’t.
The old adage “Fear of loss is greater than the desire for gain” is very true when writing web copy designed to sell.
Web copy – this is NOT to be confused with web CONTENT.

If it’s frustrating doing a Google search for Sarasota MLS and seein’ a Real Estate Board that doesn’t even have an MLS search feature at the top then here’s a little help.
It’s pretty misleading to the general public to land upon a website whose owners are intent on lying to the public, hurting their members [...]

Businesses, institutions and governments all use the same tools and broadcast media – the buildings, logos, websites, brochures, press releases and speeches – all to convey their “image”, their “brand”.
Individually and collectively the difficulty begins when we cross the line of believability – when that image we have for these businesses and individuals are not [...]

Jaz showed me MyHeritage where she had her photo scanned and compared to celebrities.  She’s pretty, so the results would be too, that makes sense.
Hers came back with a pattern that mixes Josie Maran, Kate Beckinsale, Fiona Xie, Brooke Burns and Kristin Davis.  Not bad.
Then I did mine….  now I have a complex, or two, [...]

We’ve all done it (I do it too often) but there’s a place for it. Don’t post when you’re angry.
Forums are great places for “heated exchanges” (it actually brings in traffic) but in general, an angry post is usually something the author regrets.
A personal blog is a place where you can be you, yes, [...]

After a website becomes successful, after the SEO is on to newer projects, it happens.
A phone rings on the hip of the SEO responsible for that beautiful 1st page search result of last month. “What happened? Why did it fall?”
Here it is: short list.

Your site became stale
Link decay
Aggressive competition
You fell for an email [...]

Environmentalists are realizing now that with their communist leaders printing money at record paces that our nation will be be completely devoid of trees by the year 2012.
It would be ironic if it weren’t so sad.
But there’s a solution that I’m sure was the the idea of some coastal pseudo intellectual who thought it up [...]

I wrote a silly article in November about using template pics for a website, and how they can hurt you when it comes to trust on the internet.
Well, I found her again, not my favorite customer service babe, but she’s getting very popular. This one is from a real estate service – this chick [...]

I’ve talked to many about video and websites, WordPress and how to put it all together.
Many people have discovered that embedding a YouTube video to their WordPress blog theme can break it up. True. Though fixing it in the code view of your article is one solution, there’s great little plugin that will [...]

I wrote about an seo fraud in Denver several months back.  I was thinking about placing a video there about the seo speaker that was selling his inept seo services on that post admitting to a fraud.
I’m writing this post to place another web property out there to use if this professional speaker may defraud [...]

I have 2 front floor tickets available for the Denver Madonna world tour concert in November.
Oh come on – the show will rock! She’s never performed in Denver, so it’s a kind of a big deal here – if you’re into that.
Ok – This concert sold out in less than a half hour and [...]
