2012 Back2Basics Challenge Photo and a Follow-up
Just to set the scene -
There we are at the December 12th 2011 MeetUP in Buckhead Atlanta.
We had a fun time at Gordon Biersch at Peachtree and Piedmont.
People are leaving and Elva Branson-Lee and I are gathering up the decor!
The Gold Balloon Atlanta Metro ODAT Realty CDPE Advanced Buy Lease Sell Buckhead Atlanta GA

Here is Elva catching a balloon so it couldn't float up to the lights.

Fast forward to the Challenge and the video requirement. Elva sends a big HELLO from the same gold balloon - now on January 18th! A very cute reminder for sure! And today - February 3, 2011 -- my balloon is still floating around as well! You may think they were special and/or expensive but they came from DOLLAR TREE. All of $1.00 each and here they still are - memories of our AR time together.

Have a happy day -
Lynn

Google-Juicy Tip: How I Post Hyper-Local Content on my Ellenwood GA real estate blog

For Newbies: How I post hyper-local content on my Ellenwood GA real estate blog:

When I'm writing for hyper-local search engine juice, I start by choosing a good long-tail keyword phrase to build your blog around. You can use Google’s free keyword tool to help you get started. Don't worry if you've never tried this before. Google provides all the instruction you need to use their keyword tool.

A good example of a long-tail hyper-local keyword phrase might start with "City-State-Subdivision" and then something specific to that community or its housing. For instance, since I'm a Georgia short sales specialist, I might choose "Ellenwood GA short sales in Misty Lake Subdivision" as my phrase, and write around that. You might notice that I've emphasized certain keyword phrases in this paragraph with bold print. You should do the same, and use those phrases as tags for your blog, as well as the main long-tail keyword phrase.

welcome neighbor

Now, how do you dig up the facts on a community? Once you have decided on an area to post about, get back to Google and do some research. The local chamber of commerce or Homeowners Association websites might provide you with useful information for potential visitors, buyers or sellers in your target area.

You might even have opportunity to talk to a few residents and just ask them, "What's the benefit of living and/or working in this community?" If you can get their feedback as live video footage to include in your post, that would be even better. write what you know

Compile the facts that will flesh out your story. You remember the basics of good writing as learned in the 4^th grade, don’t you? Who, what, where, when, why and how! These old standbys worked then and still they work now.

Remember to keep the writing lively, short and to the point. It’s a local-interest post, not a dissertation.

Last but not least: Don’t forget to add some photos of the area. Photos, not clip art. Even something as simple as this amateur shot I took of the Misty Lake subdivisioin in Ellenwood Georgia. (See, I did the long-tail keyword thing again, I just mis=xed it up a little.)

Including your own photographs of the area show the world that you've been there and therefore know whereof you speak.

Besides, readers love photographs of real estate and local landmarks.

So, there you have my Google-juicy secrets to building hyper-local blog posts. I learned almost all of this right here in the Rain. So can you. Now, go write.

3 days a week I go to a 7 am class in the fitness center in Big Canoe. In the winter it is dark on the way there. But coming back at 8 am it gets pretty crossing the dam over lake Petit and watching the day start.

The sun in ths pictue is just coming up over lake Petit. The lake is 95 acres and just clean and beautiful.

Lake petit

When one turns around you can see the sun reflecting on the mountains. Now it is winter here but can you see any homes? They are there. Big Canoe does a great job through architectural control of making sure homes blend in with nature. In this photo there are actually some 4 and 5 bedroom large homes. You do not see them easily.

Lake petit

If you look the other way you see Cox mountain in the distance. below is a ball field ? walking track. In addition the tennis cours are near by as well as the fitness center. Big Canoe is a place where you can enjoy nature and be active
