Wow. How sad. PPC is a viable solution and how or whether you follow up is your decision. There are no absolutes in this business. Whether you choose to use PPC, SEO or no web presence at all, whose business is it to give flack to someone for their choice? I'd seriously question the integrity and ethics of someone who attacks honesty. I don't know who they were, and I don't think I want to know. That's simply pathetic. “I took a lot of flack offline for being honest…”

For business, anyway. Paula - it's a bad web developer joke, a color code. Kris - you have anti-social tendencies? I knew I liked you. Will you be my friend? We can be anti-social together. Or not. Whichever. Everyone else - thanks for the encouragement and comments. I took a lot of flack offline for being honest about my paying for placement and my failure and lack of desire to stay in touch with past clients, and not all of it was friendly ribbing. I appreciate the understanding that we're all just trying to do our best out there, according to our values and goals, and for not attacking me for being honest!

I wasn't there for the "think something different" quote, but I love it. That's a great jumping off point. Hmm. My head is so full of great ideas from the conference, and you put a few in there, yourself, Chick~~ thank you! “calling us Freaks for being techno-proficient while wearing a t-shirt that says #FFFFFF is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black”

That's it. I know the "experts" say that's not often enough, but it seems to work. Drip email gets poo-poo'ed by many, but done properly, it can be *very* effective for past client follow up. I *love* Bullock's quote.

(@USPres, not @ResPres). And, Kelley, we should start a "We Suck At Following Up With Past Clients Anonymous" club thingy. I am right there with you. It is the demon with which I constantly battle. I have an inherently anti-social tendency, which is not terrible helpful in my real estate career. Sorry I missed the LV fun.

Even though you may not keep up with past clients, you'd be surprised at how many keep up with your through your blog. I know many of mine have subscribed to my blog feed.

I simple email "thinking of you today,when I drove in your sub". or.... a quick note, flowers in the fall. They are so appreciative. Glad you had fun, sorry I missed it.
