Our star performers are not dancers or SEO (search engine optimization) experts…. This is an example of what happens when a handful of real estate agents get together on a forum, left to their own devices, to try to figure out the wicked ways of the world wide web, search engines and their real estate blogs.
Roxanne: This blog is driving me nuts… every time I get one thing working something else breaks. I don't recall having this much trouble when I first set it up
Ken: you are just on a learning curve, keep working on it and you will get the hang of how to use it, as they say practice makes perfect
Roxanne: Learning curve? It’s more like I’m taking one step forward and two steps back. What’s the diagram for that learning curve look like?
Glen: Sounds like a Cha Cha to me
Roxanne: And I used to love the spot dances…
Glen: I found a plug-in for social bookmarking - but I can't get it to work.
Max: I think this guy is trying to start a blog war with me
Gene: Don’t answer him, it takes two to Tango, you know?
Roxanne: this is what I get for taking five months off blogging and thinking I could Waltz right back into it and just pick up where I left off
New Agent: I just started and feel like I am stepping on my own toes.
Roxanne: I know how ya feel, just when you think you got the Swing of things…
Mack: Has this thread turned into "Dancing With The SEO Stars"?
Roxanne: SEO Stars, yah right! That reminds me though, I need to make some time to hustle up some new inbound links
New Agent: This might be a little offbeat but.. I received this email today from a company that said they could get my site to the top of the search engines
Toby: Sounds a bit hokey to me. Anybody know how to get anchor links to work? My link format doesn’t seem to be working..
Glen: You put the pound sign in, take that backslash out, put the anchor name in.. then you link it all about!
Eric: Now THAT'S hokey. Why do I get the feeling this is the blind leading the blind? Anybody else hoping LSU makes it to the Rosebowl?
Bob: Just remember when getting those inbound links, it’s quality over quantity. There’s no Quickstep to stardom.
Matt: Words to the wise right there.. think outside the box!
Roxanne: I finally got my theme to work again.. Looks like it’s time 2 dance! Wait till you see my next blog post!

It’s a good thing we know more about real estate then we do about SEO or dancing for that matter. And yes, I did embellish the conversation a teenie weenie bit :) Regardless..
A big hello goes out to all my dancing friends and any other Ballroom and Latin dancers out there that end up reading this. And, a big thanks to my real estate friends for all the help and for making this continuously frustrating experience, somewhat entertaining.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…. Real Estate.
