Sorry all colleagues interested in SEO info, I had to stop writing for over a week for a very simple and good reason: after 5 months of extremely aggressive marketing over the internet and over 300 good leads with e-mails exchanged, phone calls made, invitations to visit Naples issued etc. all these people started coming to Naples Florida to buy. A wholoe lot of internationals. Only this week I have submitted 6 offers and have two approved sales with closing dates early next month for medium price range homes. I am working on 3 more right now. Waterfront homes availability requests have trippled and I am spending all day sending info to my clients and arranginf video shoots, previews, showings etc. Naples Florida definitely picked up in real estate sales.

So there is some interesting news on the internet though. Google has started a mortgage comparison feature which active Google users and ActiveRain users could find quite useful especially on the road on I Phone if need be.

NAR approved website indexing. So here comes a solution for an old discussion.

A new internetional real estate marketing portal is being launched right now with a free upload option at this time. Check out twpn.com. I know very little about it and cannot recommend it as a good source of leads at this time, however I will leave it for your consideration if you want to do anything about it.

This is a feature to be excited about. Now when you set your status on LinkedIN, you can now tweet it automatically, which means exposure to Twitter and search results all over the web!

You can also tweet to your LinkedIN connections from Twitter (or any Twitter tool such as Tweetdeck and Hootsuite).

Of course I did it and I’ll give you a visual explanation on how you do it!

First, sign in to your LinkedIN account and click on Account Settings on the top right of the screen.

Second, simply allow Twitter to publish to LinkedIN by entering your access info.

Third and last, set up your Twitter settings!

There you have it! Easy Easy Easy !

Naples Botanical Garden

This past weekend was the grand opening of the "New & Improved" Naples Botanical Garden. From the news reports they increased the size of the garden and added many new plantings..... regardless, since I had not been there previously, it was all new to me.

Now, keep in mind that Naples, Florida is known for being an extremely wealthy community where business executives come to retire. With that in mind, you will be surprised to know that the planting in the picture to the left was one of the more popular sites at the garden.

(Not what I was expecting.)

The Botanical Garden is an awesome place showing off many of the various exotic tropical plants located in South Florida, Central America and South America. They had a very interesting and fascinating butterfly garden with numerous butterflies fluttering around.

As an addition attraction, they had a lady dressed as a vine walking around on stilts. She looked very realistic, except for the "walking" part.

Here is a pic of her below and to the left.

An extra special bonus for those who visited this past weekend was a FREE potted plant when you left. Made for a great gift for mom or that special someone, you just don't tell them it was FREE!!!!

Here are a few extra pictures from the botanical garden...
