Wordpress Plugins: My Picks for Real Estate Blogs
I encourage my coaching clients to use Wordpress blogs as a “home base” for your onlinemarketing, and so I’m often asked by agents which Wordpress plugins I recommend. So I haveput together a list of the ones I think are most helpful for real estate agents marketing online.But I do want to remind readers that these are tools - so pick the ones that will help you in yourbusiness. More is not necessarily better, and in fact can slow down the loading time of yourblog, which could decrease readership in the long run if you’re not careful.That being said, here are some of the Wordpress plugins I have found most helpful:
Content Sharing
 WP Email- offers the option to “email to a friend”, which is a great way to let others spreadyour content for you.WP Print- many people are still interested in having hard copies of information they findonline, especially if it’s something they want to share a spouse or family member. Offering aprinter-friendly version of your page will be appreciated by these readers.ShareThis- there are many plugins out there designed to encourage social bookmarking andposting to social networking sites. I prefer this one simply because of how many sites it offers,as well as the fact that it scrolls through the options, instead of having a long list of icons at thebottom of each post.
Search Engine Optimization
 All In One SEO- gives the ability and flexibility to add a custom title tag and meta tags to eachpost or page. It also lets you set a better automated structure for these tags across the blog andexclude indexing on certain areas.Google XML Sitemap- let’s you publish an XML sitemap which is Google sitemaps compliant. Itwill also update and alert all major search engines that support the sitemap protocol, likeASK.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO, every time you publish a post or page.Simple Tags: allows a great deal of control and automation of tags and their use - very useful inconjunction with the categories and posts.
