Glad you're a convert and I am 100% in agreement with your sentiments. I recently did a blog post on why social media is massively relevant and important to today's business.

Just checked this morning, and sure enough he is #1. I am curious, does it help to search for that term in Google, and click on his site only as apposed to clicking the first two entries? Does Google put weight on what you click on when it displays results? Thanks for the tip on my blogs, I will follow up with that. OK, now I am a believer.

If you don't mind some unsolicited advice, I noticed that you wrote a post about two different neighborhoods in the North Raleigh area at http://www.greaterraleighrealty.com/blog/teresa-pollock/getting-to-know-the-neighborhoods-of-north-raleigh-north-carolina/show/ I think if you separated Bedford & Stonebridge into two separate posts, each would rank higher for their respective searches. (The largest reason for this is that you could have a laser-targeted title, and titles (actually, title tags) have a LOT to do with effective on-page optimization.

Personally, when I first started blogging I burned out from just posting stats, etc for my area. I see this happen on other peoples blog as well. The infrequent posts and lack of a following leads to the blog fading away. However, I am trying to turn my online profile around because it is crucial to have a presence on the web. Ultimately a blog is necessary and a good balance is key to keeping interesting for you and your readers. I am interested in following your experiment for Jim's post. I know Trulia and City-Data will be hard to beat!! Good post Joel. Personally, when I first started blogging I burned out from just posting stats, etc for my area.
