I left all groups long ago, and then Chris Ann Cleland asked me to post to her group Bartender Make It A Double so I will when asked.
How can I resist a bartender pouring doubles?  <3

David,

Ocasionally, and I am not here for extra play on Google or the Internet.  Both send us business because we are visible, but not because we game them in any way.  I like what I learn, and I like many of the folks here.  I have enjoyed meeting many face to face and made friends with several.  A

I have joined a few groups ... but not sure I really understand how they work.  I wrote a post last year and posted to a group and then was told that was not the place to do it.  So I felt bad and then never did that again.  So I guess my answer is no.  IMHO

I probably should go through my group list and weed a few out including my own, and add a couple new ones I see mentioned. For me, it's about the exchange of knowledge in the groups.

Google used to list 3 blogs per agent. Those overblogged for similiar data got penalized.

The other day they only list this site and your link..... AR is not doing as much SEO to my knowledge.
