rss feeds available for REW Blog listings

webmaster · 10-13-2006, 09:01 PM

We now have listings available via the REW blogs and these listings come with their own RSS feed. Now you can offer RSS reading sites an xml or atom feed with your listings for even more exposure

I am currently working on having these listings automatically feed to google base and possibly trulia

Where are the blogs?

http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/morgan-carey here is mine, the blogs we have set up are located at www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/ although the majority of blogs don't have the amount of posts that mine have - you want me to set one up for you?

I'd love it if you could set one up for me...Is it possible to integrate these REW Blogs to our REW website like the wordpress blog I currently have?

Although they are currently still in Beta, yes it is. Although for your own REW blog you would have to handle the xml submission to Google base yourself (It is only done automatically at REW at this point)

There is a huge benefit to also having a blog here on REW, because of our authority you can rank your posts very quickly for keyword terms and get your website and business extra traffic.

PM the username and password you want for your REW blog and I will set one up here for you - In terms of intallation on your own site, please use the work orders forum as it might be billable time to integrate into your site (Probably an hour or less)

Looks like you posted your logo, so far so good

To get your posts spidered more quickly might want to add a link in your sig to your REW Blog

Josh before you add your listings! I was just thinking about it, I can just query your IDX feed for your particular listings and import them into your blog and then they will be added to your RSS feed directly. So let me take a look at that before you go entering your listings, I won't charge you for it because it is an excercise I am interested in going through to see if it is even viable (Unless of course you don't want me to)

I'm totally cool with you experimenting with it. Let me know if you need anything from me and feel free to access my REW Blog for anything you wanna try out.

Any luck with this? Just curious...

Mikey and I played with it a little yesterday, will probably have it done by next week as I am currently converting the REW site
