Re: New Website by AllWriteyThen @ 02/11/12 02:57 PM

I agree with home boy about the dense text. Try to break it up into smaller chunks. I disagree on the photo as I think it may clash with what you've got going on there and ruin the minimalist aspect of it. Other than that I think it's a lovely, cle

Re: E mail programs by Spartacus @ 02/11/12 02:40 PM

I use Gmail as well. You can set it so that your return address is the same as the address from which you received it. For example, if I get an email from my webstite, jesse@mySite.com, when I reply to this person, they see it coming from jesse@mySit

As someone who works on websites everyday, I would stay far away from Godaddy. Their load times are horrible. I use Hostgator and am happy with them.

I did not see any shed. There is a fence in the back from looked "original" because it looks the same as the neighbor's. $250 a day is really steep though!

I use MyRepono - they give you a credit to start with which lasts for ages. Well worth it so far and I've used it a couple of times when my files went down the pan...

Re: Organic Traffic Tips by home_boy @ 02/11/12 12:14 PM

Guess it's always a balance - at the end of the day, the page has got to be user friendly, and what with Google really hammering the 'useful content' rules these days, that's always foremost in my mind. Wow - more than 100 links on each page, that's

Re: Do You Do "FORUM" MARKETING? by home_boy @ 02/11/12 12:01 PM

Great points above. It's all very well getting lots of people to your site, but if they're not actually looking for what you're offering...

Re: New Website by home_boy @ 02/11/12 11:55 AM

Like it - but found that there is quite a lot of dense text on the first page. Perhaps could do with a photo or two?

Re: LinkURealty by LouisVille @ 02/11/12 11:43 AM

In my opinion, LinkU is one of many services that can help real estate agents with tools for helping their websites attract visitors, but it should be used in combination with other features out there. There are widgets and infographics, plus blog fe

If you hear something often enough; or repeat it frequently enough . . . . it takes on an air of truth.

After some searches in the County's records I found a bunch of liens against the previous owner. From the bank, from the mortgage company, from HOA, from city etc... The LA told us the bank paid $42000 to clear a city fine so they have clear title.

Re: There is no Super Bowl thread here? by 75Corvette @ 02/11/12 10:16 AM

No one saw it at my place either. When I watched the playback later I thought it was an index finger. Pretty much ho-hum for me. Getting flipped off by some rapper is not on my register of things to worry about.

Re: Need to figure out the value of a REO property by James Bond @ 02/11/12 10:10 AM

I am buying it as a rental property in a very stable community which I believe the prices have bottomed out. I think it is a fairly good deal, not great or amazing deal but good.
