This is good information, but I am wondering if you have found any sites that are worth using? What is your critique of Homes.com. It's a portal that is designed for the consumer, but at the same time offers Realtors the opportunity to brand themselves, promote thier listings and even create traffic to the Realtors' site. It appears to be a service which is upfront with the Realtors and has a month to month contract. Some Realtors just don't have the time or knowledge to promote their own sites. Many Realtors even go as far to use their own names as their domain name. Not much help to the search engines. Advertising is important and print ads that just don't have the kick of years gone by. What portals do you feel offer value? No Time or Knowledge to Create Your Owne Website, The Next Best Thing is?

I agree with everyone but Lyn and Janice. Just a note here for Ruthmarie, I have done the same type of reposting you talk about on AR and as a REtomato graduate it's something I was taught to do. Just a warning though... I had to start waiting over 3 weeks to repost because google was grabbing the AR content as the original, even with a prominent link back to my site. I don't know how they pulled that trick but it ticked me off enough to only repost once in a blue moon. <strong>We should get a grassroots movement started and withhold all of our content and listings from these sites</strong>. We'll see how they fair then... plus we'd all be better off. Great post. There are some really great comments here. I agree with everyone but Lyn and Janice.
