For me, blogging has been an experiment, a chance to educate, and has open doors that I never knew existed. You, sir, are one of those who shows me the way. Thank you.

I happen to be one of the few fish in a small pond. its get don to being much more local. That is where the big companies cannot go with content that is worth a hoot. I am not a great blogger but it works for me since its content and photos of the niche that I work in. It is also compatiable with my other website.

I think traffic is not a good measure - the kind of traffic is. I can tell by how many home searches consumers are doing what my ROI will be like. Learning this definitely has helped me stay more focused with my blogging too.

Blogging may not make us significant (although like Jonathan said, it can lull us into that feeling), but it makes us better informed and keeps us on our toes! :) Karen (Comment #6) brings up a great point that puts a pretty red bow on Jonathan’s article… we’re all insignificant as self-important individuals (so what if I’m guilty?) but the greatest side effect of blogging is more than ego stroking, it is a learning and teaching environment that makes our business practices better.

It's about getting showings for our listings, getting listings, getting buyers ... and getting paychecks. Those are the numbers important to me. I do so agree with you!

Sometimes people write for other purposes. For guys and gals that write about real estate that are not agents there can be some upside still for writing these sites. Mine pays the mortgage every month for a couple of hours a day. Not bad work if you can get it. Not to mention the fun that I have doing it. Great post, but there are alway caveats.

Everyone has influence within their sphere. Here at agentgenius I often here praise of the sites' members as being an influential group in the RE web 2.0, and deservedly so if I judge by the comments -- it seems to reaching and helping quite a few professionals. I know an elderly lady who cares for her granddaughter who was dumped by the mother. The elderly lady will tell you with pride, at every opportunity, how she is raising the daughter and teaching her valuable life lessons. Preach on, I tell her. In the great big universe, I say she's rather large on the importance scale. We all need to blow a horn every once in awhile, just like the members here do with each other, when we think we are doing good. Saints are humble, we're just regular people, proud of our accomplishments, big in various, unique ways.

The ROI from an informative targeted blog post is huge. The best success that I have is posting about my First Time Buyer Seminar-Workshop. While the attendance is generally less that 10 buyers, I always get 1 or 2 transactions from them. Dead On Jonathan. The ROI from an informative targeted blog post is huge.
