Nothing that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.  Unfortunately I’ve learned this the hard way (3 times).  However, this last weekend, unlike most Vegas trips, had good stuff come out of it.  The RE Blog World Expo 2008 was held at the Las Vegas Convention Center 9/19 – 9/21.  Here is my report of some of the golden nuggets that I learned and some of the changes you may see around PhoenixRealEstateBrokerage.com and JohnHall.com.

Day 1 – RE Blog World

→ Good buttons to have on the top of your blog/website: “Search for Homes”, “Find the Value of Your Home”, and “Receive Weekly ‘Best Buys’”

→ Use photos.  Label photos.  It helps create a sense of place and google likes photos (with alt tags).

→ Organic traffic from search engines is the most valuable kind.

→ Companies should set up a YouTube channel, LinkedIn account, Twitter account, etc.

→ Eyejot.com is the reason I am high-jacking my wife’s webcam.
