Blogs creates great opportunities for link building strategies. You know about networking. You know that you want other people that you are involved in real estate business. So one day such people can recommend you or use you for real estate transactions.

It works the similar way on the internet. You should network too. You can read other real estate people blogs, write intelligent comments on their blogs, which will link back to you. These links are like networking, which will bring you traffic from other blogs and search engines. Internet networking int he forms of links will work for you 24 hours a day without any extra effort. That’s why it is much more easier than in real life!

Chris Garret in Networking for Blog Success suggest following:

“Other bloggers
Get to know other bloggers. Comment (intelligently) on their own blogs. Link to your favorites regularly. Find out where bloggers hang out. There are conventions for real world rubbing shoulders and there are forums for virtual hob nobbing.

Forums
Forums often allow you to use signatures that contain a line of text and possibly a URL. Just by taking part then you are getting your blog address out there. Better though is to really take part and answer questions, put forward interesting thoughts and get known as someone to turn to for information and interesting dialog. If you do this before you launch, and you are well known and liked you might even have a chance to drop your URL more prominently.

Discussion Lists
Like forums, with discussion lists you can include your URL in your email signature and just like forums it’s even better if you make yourself known and heard.

To really drive traffic link through to posts that might be useful in the discussion. Often frowned upon in forums, dropping links in email discussions is more often allowed or even encouraged.”
