That would certainly grab some attention among sellers. I am going to steal that one (it is on my site afterall) and add it to my eMarketing talk: AKA The Starbucks Mistake:

Lets say you dominate (or at least are very visible) in a local search on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
Search -Northridge Estates Homes Waunakee-
What methods do you find effective to advertise this fact?

I have wrote everything from the Vietnam War to the Civil War in North Carolina.
Yes, I am a history major but I have also found that these historical articles tend to leave a huge long tail and in some cases, makes you an expert in a particular field of study.
My top keyword is “mi lai” and if you research the massacre, I am one of the first sites to show up. My professor raises beep over me posting all my work on my blog as I often get quoted by other students in his other classes when they turn in their own research.
Recently through, I have posted a lot of local and state history articles to attract a more local following.
I am inactive as a real estate agent, so business wise, I do not know how much of an impact it would have if I choose to be active but I do know if you type in my hometown and real estate, I am pretty much at the top so I could imagine I would be seen a lot. One thing I haven’t figured out is why I keep getting visitors from a nearby city searching for homes for rent. Maybe it’s because I wrote a history article on that town and also have real estate articles on my site? Who knows?

I guess that means it lacks “direction” too and tends to wander about a bit.
Oh well. It is what it is. I have had numerous clients tell me they love it, and many have said that’s why they chose us as their realtor. If that keeps happening, it can wander about all it wants….

However, I believe your use of the term “mode” is out of context. A “mode” is an ordered series of musical intervals (or pitch) much like a scale, except that a scale does not contain a tonic (or primary) note.
Forgive me everyone for turning this into a conversation about music theory…

I may be wrong, but isn’t 7 musical notes and 10 if you count sharps and flats?
