Twitter seems to be having some growing pains at least in my eyes.
This is what I have been seeing while trying to login to my twitter account. Follow Top Search Result on twitter.
Test Your SEO Knowledge

If you think you know what your talking about when it comes to SEO, then you should try out this quiz at SEOmoz.
Good for self evaluation purposes as there is no real SEO certificates out there.
It's 75 questions. Even if you don't do as well as you would like, they give you the answers at the end so you can educate yourself.
Page Rank Updates

Just noticed tonight that the Page Rank for a few of our sites when up. This site got pumped up to a PR 3 well our PEI real estate brokerage got up to PR 4.
Page Rank is an indicator of the quality and quantity of incoming links that are coming into your website. The higher your PR the quicker your site will be indexed by Google when adding new content.
Well not the ultimate guage of success it's still nice to see. The Page Rank shown now is just a good reference because it is constantly changing but Google only updates the bar reader system every few months.
Twitter For Real Estate

I have been experimenting a bit with Twitter lately as I have recently blogged about my Twitter Success for Top Search Result. I am still undecided if I would recommend it for a real estate agent.

Facebook Advertising - Our Experiences
dawsonrb — December 21, 2008 - 4:20pm
In an effort to drive more targeted traffic to Top Search Result’s website, we have been testing out some Facebook advertising. This also allows us to keep up on innovative advertising techniques for our client’s and drive more business to us.
I have noticed that real estate agents have been testing out Facebook ads lately but they don’t look like the targeting features were used too wisely. This seems to me like a waste of money.
RSS and Feedburner For Real Estate
dawsonrb — December 20, 2008 - 7:23pm
I have been experimenting a lot with RSS lately. Never quite got the whole point of it. Anyways I have been adding some of my real estate RSS feeds to a bunch of different sites so that they would update automatically. If you look on the sidebars of Top Search Result you can see how I have added some RSS feeds from my other blogs. This updates automatically with fresh content. Pretty much every blog now comes with RSS feed capabilities available.
Website Down - Off And On
dawsonrb — December 20, 2008 - 3:51pm
The website here has been up and down for the last day as I have been trying to update the Drupal platform that it runs on. That is what happens when you get a business graduate performing technical computer applications. It is no cool when you see this:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 302221 bytes) in /home/topsear1/public_html/includes/cache.inc on line 105.

For those of you who don’t understand what the point of blogging is, I would like to point you to my recent post on Active Rain as an example, Statastic - Are You Tracking Your Online Marketing Efforts?? . It serves many purposes for Top Search result. The reasons for blogging can be different for everybody but I thought I’d share with you the reasons why I blog.
