I found a good article explaning what Ian mentioned in the post above. I plan to create a blog for my company on every free blog site I can find. So far, I have created three. They are pretty bland, but following the lead of the info I found, the only thing to do in order to have your site rank higher is to post comments frequently. I have the info on the blogs.

Most of my clients go the craigslist route on their own, but the blog forum has some great SEO capabilities and will give significant links of value back to the hosting site for their tours and realtor.

For the moment at least they seem to have the right SEO juice to interest google, making a decent ranking easier to achieve. And pretty much everyone understands the blog concept, whereas a property microsite might need some explaining to a potential customer, especially this side of the pond where they are not so common.

I certainly wish more realtors would see the value in learning how to write marketing copy descriptively and at length about their listings. If they did, they would easily see the value in using excellent photography to illustrate what they are saying. At least half of the message is missing without words, and each needs the other to be successful. The notions that 'every picture tells a story' or 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is is missing the point where marketing is concerned. A thousand words would take awhile to read: which few of those thousand words are the ones that you want your reader (the buyer) to focus on and remember? The photos combined with those unique-selling-point words would be the marketing message that will sell the property.
