Is posting the same property listing 2 or 3 times ok? I see some competitors doing it.

I post active, pending and sold. This not only makes the phone ring but Google juice can be tucked away in each post.

Kind of like repetitive questions, no rules against it but it may not be doing much good either.

Edited response as I read your "answer" after I responded:

I will write multiple posts for one property but with a different aspect of the home -- location, floor plan, amenities, open house, etc.

My original answer:

If you are talking about posting in the MLS -- you better check the rules of your association.

Greg Cremia you can certainly post the listing posts multiple times. Make sure you promote a new feature, if possible.

Also, change the title of the post - like 3 Bedroom ranch, spacious home, excellent kitchen etc etc. You get the point, correct?

I am asking about the Active Rain rules. Making 3 posts about the same property over the course of 2 days where nothing has changed and the content is basically the same, just rearranged.

I hate the practice but it is legal to do it here. It messes up the statistics that are reported by the board. I blog about it all the time fussing.

Do you like reading repetitive posts?

Repetitive posts are most likely to diminish your following and readership.

So ask yourself, "How can you talk about the same real estate and present new information?"
