Anonymous Unregistered	Just wondering if any other agents out there use message boards on their web sites/pages for buyers and sellers questions, etc? If you do-how successful do you find them in generating leads etc. Thanks in advance! Jody Menk - Broker Associate Realty Executives River Valley

I tried it myself many years ago and had the same experience. No actual posts and no leads as a result. Once you start having to delete spam from the BB you soon decide it is a big waste of time _________________________ For the non-do-it-yourselfer!

And some of the spam has become automated, that it's a real nuisance and that's most of the job to maintain the board. _________________________ Ruperto Elpusan, MBA, e-Pro Broker/Officer Beverly Hills, Bel Air Estates, Malibu and Palos Verdes Real Estate South Bay-Torrance Real Estate

Ruperto Member Registered: 06/15/03 Posts: 361 Loc: Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, US	I do use BB for my truly busy sites, outside of real estate, that are true portals with a lot of traffic. Where there is a substantial enough community of users that find the board useful. But it's never worked for real estate sites for me.
