Jon Washburn at Active|Rain keeps a list of real estate blogs that he updates monthly.  The list is based on ranks from Compete and Alexa, and while informal and non-exhaustive is pretty cool.  The numbers are in and…

And LaneBailey.com is number 54

I know… it isn’t as scientific as it could be, and there are probably some blogs that aren’t included… but the biggies are all there.  It’s kind of cool to get these sorts of results…

But does it matter?

If you are a seller, yes.  I talk about my listings, and have a featured listing page here on the blog.  I talk about new technologies I am deploying to help get your home in front of more buyers.  And the traffic shows that people are watching.  And as I transition much of this to the new domain that will be targeted to Lilburn, GA real estate, I will be able to deliver some of the Google Page Rank (used for search engine ranking) to that site.

When will you be #1?

Never…  National blogs like Zillow’s and Trulia’s will always outrank a niche blog like this.  But, I am beating out the highest of the New York City focused blogs… in Gwinnett County, GA…  and all of the Atlanta blogs from the list.

But wait, there’s more…

We are always looking for ways to make a better experience for site visitors.  And we will be deploying some new things over the course of the next few months… so stay tuned!

And THANK YOU!
