Google love, SEO, Ranking, makes my real estate phone ring.

I blog for business purposes and for my relationships on AR... my thoughts are always clear. And if they weren't, I wouldn't be clearing my head or thoughts through blogging.

Simply because I enjoy writing about my city.

I do it just for the pure pleasure I get making people think about what I've wrote.  

I do trivia questions and enjoy the responses!

Hopefully to get my name in front of people in my area, and if I have a rant it will clear the mind somewhat.

It's a creative outlet for me. I enjoy writing. Plus it does help my business. It's a win win for me. Great question. 

I blog to share with other professionals in hope that I may be able to help them.

Peter Mohylsky I started blogging for business - and then....just got addicted to ActiveRain!

Business still comes to  me through my blogs in 'Rain.

Exposure, google juice, SEO ranking and stuff and to be seen as knowing what is going on.

Many reasons- besides SEO and Google, I've found it has helped me organize my thoughts. 

Peter Mohylsky I enjoy blogging, for SEO, and connect with real estate professionals.

It started out as and SEO thing and has morphed into an obsession.

Marketing, networking, sharing all kind of things about my community. 

I get business from it and it helps me stretch, looking for new ideas and reading things I need to know.

Peter,

We both like to write, and it does clarify our thoughts.  And we enjoying sharing our insights, and being found because someone saw us on the web.  A

Addictive bad habits.

For the SEO.  OK.  OK.  Also for the points.

Many reasons ... mainly for business.  However, I also blog to my AR audience for fun or to just share some things.

Blogging fulfills my wish to be an author and share thoughts, emotions, history and opinions.  It feels like there is a permanent record that might be read long after I'm gone.

For the same as most, attracting business.  My other thought was that improving my writing will help improve how I speak, but I suppose that it is the same as clarifying my thoughts.

I blog for business.

The same reason the yellow pages guy used to close everyone on being in the pages. If you are not in there, you wont be called when people are looking

I often write blog posts to reinforce my thoughts about a certain topic or method of marketing....to get other opinions

Primarily business.   

Sometimes just for fun.

I like to share good info I'm exposed to. I love to write and this helps me practice daily. I enjoy the feedback, whether I agree with it or not, my writing provoked response...that's pretty cool.

I enjoy sharing about San Diego too. I meet people this way and it's good for my businesses.

The anchor for other marketing efforts.

Who on AR cares about a Brae-Moor market trends report? No one.

However, those folks in Brae-Moor will come here to read. I know they are going to click other links so I try to make sure those links carry them in the right direction.

I blog to reach new consumers, past clients, agents and to both teach and entertain. 

Definitely fine tunes our thoughts. Great obsevation!

Business.

Networking

I'm still working on that answer myself but am on the same page as my "neighbor" Raymond E. Camp.
