In my business, we don't have access to market reports or data. But, if I were a real estate agent, I would be publishing market reports every month (and yes, I used to do something similiar in a previous career). It would be a great way for local buyers/sellers to find me and for me to build c

Yay. So relieved. My Flooring Girl website is up running again. (It was down for a bit over a day and a half.) I didn't realize it until this morning (as I've been a bit distracted with my broken foot). I was not a happy camper, but now we have another problem solved. Yay. I had been getti

Bryan is so right about this. Focus on creating fewer and better posts. More in depth articles help you get found on google and help readers stay. My top post on my site is over 1000 words, and it gets over 6000 clicks/month. My #2 article is around 1500 words and gets ove 5000 clicks/month.
