On Tuesday, March 27, 2007 Inman News interviewed Mary McKnight, of RSSpieces.com, out of Cape Coral, Florida in their 3 part article "Blogs rise as glue to real estate social networking".
Excerpt from the article:McKnight says that some agents have been really successful in using ActiveRain to boost their rankings, pointing out a Long Beach, CA., Realtor whose site appears in the first 5-7 spots in Google search results for Long Beach real estate. “Laurie Manny is a good example of someone doing this. She’s able to diversify and leverage her online presence really well,” McKnight pointed out
What does that mean to you, the Long Beach Property Owner?
That means that when you list your Long Beach Property with Laurie Manny you instantly get top Internet exposure by way of her high ranking website LaurieManny.com and by way of her advanced blogging ability and tactics.
Laurie's vast knowledge of SEO (search engine optimization) will send your Long Beach Property to the top of the search engines.
Example:Put WRIGLEY HEIGHTS into the Google search engine. There are five positions on page one referencing a new listing Laurie has in Wrigley Heights, area information that Laurie has written on Wrigley Heights, an article on the proposed new park RiverLink also by Laurie, another of her consumer articles and another instance of the area listing being promoted; there is also another article of Laurie's appearing at the top of page two.
You will also find four positions on page one of Google for the search term, Belmont Heights Real Estate, 3 or 4 for Downtown Long Beach Real Estate, and so on.

Congragulations Laurie----You do an amazing job --- I can imagine how much time and hard work this takes!
I can see a Mad rush of buyers and sellers to your office in the morning! Excuse me it is morning! They are probably camped out on the sidewalk by now!
Laurie - AWESOME recognition!! And you do do a BEAUTIFUL job on your posts - your clients must love it!
Ann
Laurie, congratulations on being used as an example in the interview. Just shows that if you do the right things the rewards will follow.
Thank you all, this was quite a surprise. I guess a lot of hard work does get noticed.
Congratulations Laurie, You deserve it.
Congratulation Laurie, a well deserved recognition, you consistently post about your market place and the consumer notice so I am not suprise it is paying off for you.
Thank you all very much.
Congrats Laurie - and Rock on, keep up the great work
Thank you Thesa
Great job. Congratuations! This should get you a lot of exposure and business. You deserve it with all the hard work you put into it. How do you find the time?
A side note: two of your pictures are not appearing near the bottom of the blog. You may want to edit this.
I will never get to the level you did on ActiveRain. My goal is just to get to the top 10 real estate agents in California so I show up on the agent list for California on Localism. Lenders and others are shown on other lists in Localism, unlike ActiveRain. I am already in good positions for Orange County and Huntington Beach on both sites. Let me know if you have any tips.
Laurie-That is some wonderful publicity for someone who really deserves it. I have taken some of the information that I learned from you and I have also propelled myself to page 1 and 2 of Google search with certain key words. My next mission is going to be sending you an airline ticket so I can fly you out here to help me consistently be on page 1 like you! Aloha!
Mike,
The time? It is carved out of my sleep time. Thank you.
The pictures seem to be OK now, somebody let me know if they are not please, thank you.
Never say never, life has funny twists, you just never know.
Thanks again,
David & Tonya,
A free vacation, I love it, lol. I am so glad that the information helped you. It is exciting isn't it? Now stay there. Congratulations!
Laurie,
You so deserve this recognition! You are not only a marketing and blogging genius, but so generous with your time and talents!
Ginger!
Thank you Ginger, not a genius, it would be easier if I were though. It is hard work and many hours and a constant battle. Just when you think you have it licked, you are page 2 and have to start a new battle.
