Today we hit 17 degrees and it snowed all day!  A couple times on the phone I found myself saying “I need my beach”.  I mentioned I’m getting rid of the ‘ol party pad in Destin (see my pics in the menu) and sliding it, with some maturity to a Condo in Gulf Shores.

So, while the snow fell outside my window today I cruised this real estate site for something Read the rest of this entry »

The site that we don’t talk about was kicked off early on Monday and wow – I got a bit overwhelmed.

Over 3,200 page loads.  (The number of uniques were already anticipated)  Granted, the number isn’t earth shattering for a site like that but keep in mind the small member base.  Also considering day one of any launch is pretty hairy for any webmaster so Read the rest of this entry »

First of all, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  I was lucky to enjoy two dinners today, one with my family and another with my sidekick and friends.

Second, I know I’ve talked about Fight Club (and that’s a bad thing).  So, the day before launch I’d like to thank some friends that helped tune it a bit, find some glitches and so forth. Read the rest of this entry »

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, Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve written about the Fight Club and wanted to show that it’s a real thing.  I don’t write about SEO on this blog as often as expected and that was for a reason.

Instead of giving everything away to the world I’m keeping it underground and Read the rest of this entry »

The “logo” on this site has changed over time.

Actually, it’s not a logo – I don’t want a little drawing to represent me or what I do.  What I have up there is just a symbol and I’ll explain the evolution and it’s beginning.

I’ll start with the end:  Below is a frame series from the Read the rest of this entry »

The URL of this domain is odd, I know.  I REALLY don’t want to change it for the links built are natural, from blogs and tech forums and the nightmare of emailing… you get the idea.

I’m seasoning other urls for the “business” side of this as some know but I’m still left with this obscure domain.

In a way I like it, I can use it to prove that “keywords in your domain give an unfair advantage” arguments are silly.

First, this domain means nothing.  It’s a collection of letters that Google use to interpret as a misspelling for “web”.  I knew this because Tyler Durden knew this. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, it is uber cool.  Maybe you got a head cold.  Maybe you just didn’t feel like talking much – I dunno.  I’m going to sleep on trying to figure out what the dolls in this video represented…:) Read the rest of this entry »

This president-elect is not the Messiah. He is not going to “raise the consciousness of the planet” or “change the world”.

He is one man, just a man who will be Chief Executive of one nation. (Yes, one nation under God).

Please remember the values this country was founded upon. And in the future, please be honest enough to realize and brave enough to admit to any “change” that deviates from those values. Read the rest of this entry »

Those that follow me on Twitter know I don’t use it to advertise.  I don’t shout out “What I’m doing” very often or take irrelevant pictures of my food.  Instead, and to the annoyance of some that will not follow me after learning this (and I’m fine with that), I use it to talk WITH people, not TO them.

Against the ideas of Darren Rowse in his new blog (the ProBlogger guy) who tries to keep us from broadcasting “one-sided telephone calls” that annoy 99% of your followers, I do use it for chat. Not exhausting conversations but to at least converse! Read the rest of this entry »

The victim of the Sarasota MLS domain snatching by Helen Sosso and her ASSociation of REALTORS has spoken out.  Marc has listed the time line of events so world understands, without SAR-Spin the true events of this theft.

Good job Marc!  Just the fact that you will address this publicly shows where your ethics truly lie, unlike the MLS board you pay to supporrt you.

Read the detailed but very inportant facts here at his Sarasota Real Estate Blog.

Piracy.  Plain and simple.

Pirates Helen Sosso (Sarasota Association of Realtors president) and Kathy Roberts (SAR CEO) decided they wanted the online authority of another website – a site owned by Marc Rasmussen. Read the rest of this entry »
