So you’ve just returned to your office from a successful meeting with a Realtor®. At the end of it they expressed optimism in your services, and told you some famous last words, “I’ll be sure to send you my next deal…”…a week goes by, no deal……two weeks go by, no deal……a month later, still no deal.To make things even more painful…you’re chatting with a title rep about business and they mention the agent’s name. You probe deeper and uncover that the agent has done 3 transactions in the past 30 days. Before we jump to conclusions, it’s possible they were the listing agent. Or they could have been the buyer’s agent, but the buyer came to them pre-approved. We just don’t know.You re-trace your steps backwards and look for clues. Yo

We’ve all seen, and laughed at, the cheesy cable ads. From the low-quality video production, the ugly flashing headlines, the silly scripts, the ridiculous acting…they’ve been entertaining us for years. And, they've raised the question "What were they thinking?" What is so hard to understand, is that the very advertisers who continue to spend good money to produce and run these brand-damaging ads, had to have seen ads like these, themselves...and asked the same question.We think we can speak for the general cable audience when we say “STOP the madness!”Prospective advertisers, you might want to answer these questions before proceeding:1. Do you have quality products or services?2. Do your products/services hold strong benefits for the demographic audience who will be expo

10. How to know when search engine crawled your site?
One way to know this is to see log file on your server. But what if you want to check how often the 'spider' crawl your competitor's site?
Every search engine spider takes a snapshot of the web sites when it visited. And it records the date when it takes a snapshot. Because of this you can know when the spider crawled your site or your competitor's site.
Type the search command explained in search tip no. 8, for example, yourhome site:yourhome.com, and then you'll see the SERPs listing your web pages. In the result page, you'll see "Cached" or "Cached Page" link for each page. Choose one of them, click it and then you'll be leaded to the snapshot of that page. Around top, you may find the date when it was took and that's the date when the spider crawled your site.
Now you have ten search tips. Some of them you already knew and some of them you might not recognize. Hope you find some tips that are of help.
