I have seen the light! And it is blogging! It has become part of any strategy for SEO. You not only get traffic, you also get the calls from people that see the blog post, and SEO benefits.

Good stuff. As a newbie to blogging, I have wondered who my target is and how do I get to them Should I stay focused on local stuff or try to appeal to a wider geography? Sounds like I need to attract other bloggers (bigger audience) for the inbound links, yet appeal to the local readers that I am trying to win over on the biz side.

Woops! let me correct that, the comment above the dotted rule was posted by me on June 26th. The comment below it was not. Looks like a gestalt mishap– my bad sorry! But glad to be able to update our stats anyway.

Just for the record, the comment posted here on June 26th and attributed to me, was not posted by me. It was discovered while using Google to research incoming links to us. The bizarre comment and the impostor’s motives are simply unfathomable.
In fact, I’m pleased to note that our analytics show that in the past year, my blog has gotten the attention of people in 103 countries around the world. We openly welcome their readership in the international Real Estate market that is New York City. Market locally, reach globally!
Cheers,
Peter

Tracking analytics on my blog, comitini.com, indicates a strong concentration of local readership, but also about visitors from 328 cities in 53 countries over the past 30 days. My assumption is that these visitors are looking for information about my market. New York City is a place that is a second home destination for some and a place that looks interesting to international investment right now. My writing tends to be consumer oriented in general, but whenever I’ve posted a business to business piece, I’ve heard from brokers around the country, so I know they are looking too. My experience from careers past is that it all feeds into an overall atmosphere of visibility, and that’s good. The big media channels are always absorbing the information in the smaller ones, so having visibility there is important. Think locally, blog globally.

I think in most markets, referrals are going to be considered gravy rather than the meat & potatoes that feeds your business. Sure, you can find some places that are growing at phenomenal rates with huge population explosions, but by and large, most persons aren’t seeing that.

A nationwide audience can drum up *some* business for you – how much really depends on the market you are in the first place though. If you are seeing a large percentage of relocations, investments, and second home purchases – it can really pay off.

While a national presence/audience is important to consider – its also important to focus on your local market as well. The local market is what drives your business.

This can be useful when people from one region wants to buy property in your region, it can be useful and for ranking of your site, in this case all visitors can go (show) real offers and bargains
