Week 3 Checklist
Article Topic: “To Blog or not to Blog, that is the question”
The term “weblog” was originated by Jorn Barger in 1997. A short version “blog”, was originated by Peter Merholz in 1999. Hence what we know as the blog. What is a blog? How does it work? How can it help you? All of these questions will be answerd in this weeks article.
A blog is a journal. A way to communicate via the internet without having to create a new web page every time you want to communicate new and current information to your users. For example it is a personal journal, calender ect. Controlled by the user. It gives the owner of the blog the ability to post a comment or entry on a daily basis in which the comment can be responded to by friends, or the random user that may find your blog via the internet. It is simply like having a personal diary that you can create and update on your website without the management of creating new webpages.
New info shows up at the top of the page, so visitors can read it on a daily basis. They can then comment on the information, link to the information, or even call or email you. In short, it is a communication tool which allows you to post new content to the web at your desire with out having to hard code it into your custom websites.
In the real estate industry we know that new information needs to be displayed to the consumer on a daily or weekly basis. You now have control and you can still gain rankings. In the past realtors were using content management systems or control panels provided by their template website in order to make changes and update there site. Unfortunatly these code intensive back end systems are hated by search engine spyders. In most cases these content management systems are connected through the back end of the website joining you to all the other templates provided by the company of which you purchased your template.
What this means is on a technical level is you are attached at the hip with hundreds and maybe thousands of other realtors nationwide. With a blog, you as an individual, have the ability to post info and get responses. With a content management system you may be able to post new info, but the info is not interactive nor is it developed in a format that is liked by the search engine spyders.
