Re: Social Bookmarking Widgets: AddThis vs ShareThis.

nedly1 — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 01:58:01 -0000

Vlad,

Do you get much response to either of these? I use, Share This, and I don't think I have gotten any value from it. The problem is people have to notice the widget, have a clue what it is, be motivated enough to click it and they must be a member of the social networking sites to submit it.

That really narrows i down and unless you have a lot of traffic i can't see it adding much value.

Re: What Happened To Top 100 List?

Ned,

If some one like me (English being my second language) can make some noise, you guys can really soar in this world of "blogs".

And thank you. This is probably the best compliment I have ever received.

I am also planing to shift much of my blogging to "top 100 RE blogs", hope to see you subscribe there as well. Thanks again Ned.

Yipeee, I made the top 100. ! ! !

Some time ago you gave me quite a bit of encouragement by saying that with the quality writing I was doing, as soon as I got some PR I would move into the top 100. That small bit of encouragement kept me going.

As I am sure you know, it's easy to get discouraged in the begining when you have no trafffic and therefore no feedback on the job you are doing.

Vlad,

I just donated. I will get a post up about this. Perhaps in my small way I can help this go viral. I what I have read around the net E-perks sucks. I hope they crash and burn in court.

I didn't see it in the suit but I thought I read it earlier. Is ePerks trying to shut your site down or have comments removed? You are offering to allow comments on your site. When someone comments they are accepting your offer. The valuable ink in return is consideration for the license to use the comment. Eperks attempts to remove such comments is a tort "interference with contract" Where do I sign up to sue them? Heck they have more money than you do!

Re: 7 Things No One Ever Tells You About Raising Venture Capital Financing

Thanks for the comment. Although I can't imagine real estate - given the economic situation in the US - is any better than anything else these days, from an investment-perspective! But I wish you the best of luck.

Good post. I am going though a lot of this now. Fortuneately I have it a little easier as I am in Real Estate so I am funding existing project with a track record. But the hoops I have to jump through are pretty much the same.

We've been in the biz about 7 years, so yeah I guess we are a little new. I could have added a few more beefs, but I thought the ones I posted were a good start. Feel free to post more if you like! The law and ethics code are both certainly list-worthy! Thanks for commenting!

The google alerts tip is a good one. I have set one up for myself and my blog.

Gosh, you must be a newbie with such a short list!

How about agents that don't know the law or the code of ethics.

Re: Do You Use Google Webmaters Tools?

VladZablotskyy — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:50:55 -0000

Ned,

Th Google sitemaps generator for WordPress pings Google when you "manually" rebuild the stiemap. You will need to tell Google from the Webmasters Tools the location of the sitepamps. In case you don't know here is the location of your sitemap file:

Re: Do You Use Google Webmaters Tools?

nedly1 — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:44:15 -0000

Vlad,

I use the the Google XML sitemaps generator but Webmaster tools says I don't have a site map. This despite the fact that the plugin says google found the sitemap. I haven't had time to figure it out yet. Google seems to find my site OK.

One thing I like in webmaster tools is the links feature. It shows ALL the links that google knows about. Being a non techie guy, that is a simple enough metric that I can understand.

I have been using AWstats and Google Analytics. I have found that Google is a lot lower than AW stats. Perhaps because AW Stats is part of my hosing service.

I came here to check out whoopra.

Ned,

If you continue to write the good blog you have been writing so far, once Google gives you some PR your blog can rapidly rise to the top 100. TO be honest my own blog probably will not bee in the 100 few weeks from now since my posting here is some what sporadic.

Ned,

Thanks for stopping by. This list was a fun experience indeed. If anything you get an extra link to your blog. I just think that no matter what niche your blog is in, there is always room for making a progress.

Re: Give Me Your Blog

nedly1 — Sat, 17 May 2008 13:13:52 -0000

Vlad,

Thanks for adding me. I am so proud I am in the top 141 : )

Seriously I am glad you are doing this list. I have found that most blog catalogs categorize into such large groupings that it is hard for a niche blog to show up anywhere near the top. I appreciate the opportunity to show off my blog.

I also see from Blog Catalog that you have visited my blog from time to time so I appreciate that too.

Ned
