Can't say that it is.... outside of maybe providing some "street cred." And even that I'm not totally sure about.

1 referral (closed escrow this year). My AR business has always been direct Realtor to Realtor referrals. I've only received one closed lead lead off a blog post I can track absolutely. No leads from blogs that I can track, but the internet is funny that way; folks can't remember the source of how they found you online often.
Maybe post a blog on your strategy Bob, as I'd love to learn how to increase lead traffic from blogs. ActiveRain has never been a source of leads business for me. It's all (but one) been Realtor to Realtor referrals...which have been great and appreciated.
I blog here to exercise my author, learn and network; leads would be a perk.

I have received a few clients through AR but I consider the greatest benefit is the camaraderie with other members. I pretty much feel I have friends all over the country. Priceless!

I don't think I've received a single business referral from AR. I know I'm not using it to it's potential but sales are not my bread and butter so it's hard to focus on it like a full-time sales agent.

No, the ROI is low & getting lower year after year.
That's the honest truth behind the whole thing. Not being up the other day doesn't help matters.

Paid consulting and computer work by a couple AR members. Zero business expected directly from AR, not targeting prospects through referral by AR members (I'm in a different industry).

It has not resulted in anything (yet) for me. I've had a phone call a few months ago, this gentleman found my blog and planning to purchase a home. But then when time comes he never replies back.

I haven't had as many SEO leads that I can convert, but the phone still rings from several blogs I've written over the years.
More importantly, I work with some great folks i've met in the rain over the years.
