			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-214" href="http://www.topbuilderblogs.com/2010/05/six-month-sell-out-success/circle-75-blog/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-214" title="circle 75 blog" src="http://www.topbuilderblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/circle-75-blog-300x202.jpg" alt="circle 75 blog" width="300" height="202" /></a>Want to sell out your townhome community in just six months?  Launch a marketing program with a blog and search engine optimization, then discount your homes to compete with area foreclosures, throw in some banner ads and email marketing and you too could see success. The recent six month sell out at Circle 75 townhomes is due to their aggressive online program of targeting the right key words (think search phrases) and increased website traffic.</p>
<p>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<span id="more-213"></span> can track and analyze once you have launched an effective blog (note, I&#8217;ve said effective because all blogs are not created equally.)</p>
<p>Blog Metrics:</p>
<ol>
<li>Increased Traffic &#8211; You should see an increase in traffic to your main website. This traffic should spend 3 to 6 minutes on site.</li>
<li>Increased Keywords &#8211; With proper use of anchor text, you will have an increase of keywords on your main website.</li>
<li>Increased Referring Traffic &#8211; Your well-built blog that is used properly will be one of your websites top 5 referring sites.</li>
<li>Reduced Time Spent on Social Media Sites &#8211; 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).</li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
