3. Saves homeowners from foreclosure
   
4. Lowers interest rates for those facing financial hardship

9. Friendly bank negotiators & helping lenders save money too!
10. Being able to modify the terms / duration of the loan.
11. The hard work of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan to put pressure on lenders to modify more loans!
12. Chuck Norris -

BOOOOOOs (things that we hate):

1. Waiting 2 hours on hold with Wells Fargo just to be connected with another department.
2. Bad loan modification companies & scam artists
3. Webspam on loan mods
4. All the "experts" that know little to nothing about mods, and probably have never succesfully negotiated a modification that love to voice worthless opinions and give homeowners bad advice.
5. Investors that don't participate in Making Home Affordable or otherwise wont agree to do modifications, regardless of the position and urging of the homeowner and servicer.
6. B of A "not-recieving" authorization forms repeatedly. And again. And again.
7. The whole Congresswoman Maxine Waters fiasco.
8. Foreclosures
9. Misuse of TARP funds
10. Over 250,000 notices of foreclosure for June
11. Uncaring / inept negotiators
12. Bernie Madoff -

Feel free to add to the list in the form of comments. Peace, love, and chicken grease!

Lately I have been trying to answer the question "What should I do to drive more traffic to my website and blogs?"

My online marketing is suffocating right now and I need to breathe life into it. So I am trying to figure out which one of the two giants should I choose?

OR

LISTING ROUTER

Lately my leads have just dried up. I am not getting any hits on my personal blogs www.GetDCSold.com and/or website anymore and I am trying to figure out what I need to do to keep people coming back to my blogs and website.

Some Active Rainers rave about the success they have experienced using the listing router and how it is working for them? However I also notice even the great ones here on Active Rain don't even have a listing router. However they are a member of Localism. While many of us Active Rainers here post our blogs to Localism,many of us still have not sponsored a community.

So my question to you is this. Localism or Listing Router? Which one is more effective? Which one should I choose and why? I would really appreciate this if you can.
