Atlanta’s favorite real estate blog is proud to show off its data. As the top Atlanta new homes blog in the market this site shares real estate news, trends, incentives and more. Here is today’s Quantcast chart for Atlanta Real Estate Forum. As you can see the site has more than 24,000 unique visitors a month. This is a lot of traffic.

Have you thought about launching a blog, but are still struggling with the ROI (return on investment), well we can help.  Here are the metrics you can track and analyze once you have launched an effective blog (note, I’ve said effective because all blogs are not created equally.)

Blog Metrics:

1. Increased Traffic – You should see an increase in traffic to your main website. This traffic should spend 3 to 6 minutes on site.
2. Increased Keywords – With proper use of anchor text, you will have an increase of keywords on your main website.
3. Increased Referring Traffic – Your well-built blog that is used properly will be one of your websites top 5 referring sites.
4. Reduced Time Spent on Social Media Sites – YES! You can actually reduce time online by launching a blog. As the heart of your editorial program you can expect to post and for syndication to take over (once the program is properly structured).

Want to learn more? Call me! 770-383-3360. I love to blog and I love to help businesses set up effective Internet marketing programs.

“The Oglethorpe blog is the cornerstone of the University’s social media presence.  It will not only provide information to prospective students, current students and alumni, but it will provide ways to engage the University online via Twitter, Facebook and other sites,” said Carol Flammer, managing partner for mRELEVANCE and Oglethorpe University graduate. “In this fast paced Internet driven world, it is important to be ALL of the places that your target audiences are looking for you online. Oglethorpe recognized that need and the blog effectively ties it all together for them.  Look for ways to interact with Oglethorpe University online as they seek ways to create a digital relationship with you.”

The blog contains information on all aspects of student life including admissions, traditions, athletics, study abroad and student news. Alumni have a section devoted to news, events and giving.  The social media section of the blog links to Oglethorpe’s other social media sites such as Twitter or Facebook, as well as connects students to faculty and alumni who have personal blogs.

Boone Homes builds luxury, no-maintenance homes in Richmond and Roanoke. By subscribing to the blog, you’ll be among the first to know when the builder has opened a new community, a new phase, a new model, a new promotion or lowered prices. You can get detailed information about the communities and features found in the homes. And on the blog, you can watch virtual tours of the homes and communities. There’s no question that the blog is a great place to find detailed information on any new home community from Boone Homes.

However, in addition to information on the homes, blog browsers will also stay up-to-date with events and news taking place in the cities/towns surrounding the communities.  This way, potential home buyers will be able to get a feel for the local atmosphere.

It’s great to see another home builder understanding the importance of being online. Boone Homes is working with mRELEVANCE to launch an effective social media marketing campaign. To increase your online presence and launch a blog of your own, contact mRELEVANCE for more information. Jill Wise can be reached at 770-383-3360 x 22.
