I've noticed that capitalizing the term "real estate" seems to be common practice among agents, e.g. "I work in Real Estate." I was curious if this is done for a reason, as it isn't a term that would normally be capitalized. Thank you kindly :)

I see many real estate websites which represent the houses and full of information and photos/videos of real estate, but not many of the websites tells the visitor about surrounding activities. I think writing about restaurants, clubs, parks, schools, beaches, viewpoints, shops/malls and...

I think this is where this post goes. My question is, let's say your writing a community profile page, and your keywords are Eagle Bluff Homes and Eagle Bluff real estate. Is it a good SEO practice to put those keywords in your footer since thats what the page is about? Thanks

What is the difference in content? What is the best way to use or maximize each platform? When should you post a blog vs. an article? Should you allocate your resources more toward blogging or article writing? What is best for SEO? Thanks

I'm always reading tips on http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ - and today's tip was especially helpful. Do you know the difference between "then" and "than?" "Then" has an element of time. For example, it can mean "next" or "at that time": • We ate, and then we went to the movies. • Movies...

Guys, i am looking for a CMS for my customers with no database, i found Toko content editor,anyone have experience with it?

When writing about those century old houses, and charming character neighborhoods, do you use "historic" or "historical" to describe them? Thanks to the latest newsletter from Grammar Girl, she cleared that one up for me. Although often used interchangeably, these words have 2 very different...

I've read the threat of Mrwonton about hiring a ghost writer and I feel interesting about hiring one. But I don't know how much will I pay for them and where do they come from?

So, I wonder if anyone here can weigh in on whether or not it is wise to use the content that REW has provided on each of the pages. Right now, I just want to get my site live.
