As I mentioned to you before, we just decided to share our link juice with our community in a different way - through our members profile pages. That’s how we share our link love. It’s quite potent actually.

We’re here to support agents and brokers. As you may or may not know, we send interested and savvy buyers and sellers directly back to your clients exclusive listings on your website for FREE. Voices is a FREE community where agents can interact directly with buyers, sellers and other agents for FREE. Not too shabby….

Everyone has a choice on what forums, blogs and platforms they want to participate on. Understanding your ROI, which can mean a lot of things to different people, is important because your time, effort and energy are valuable. Try new things. If they work for you, then great. If not, no harm no foul.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

I’ll take Trulia Voices for a $1,000!

Hmm? Unless Alex Trebek comes on board, maybe not But, never say never

Thanks for sparking an idea Louis……….

See my previous answer

Addendum: As with any community or forum, it takes time for the culture to mature. Voices is one of the fastest growing segments of our site and the community is really growing. Conversations are increasing. Quality is improving. Connections are being made. We are listening to all feedback.

Everybody’s Voice Counts!

Ah, so that Google reader is at it again

Cool.

Yeah, every community needs guidelines. However, letting the community police itself to a certain extent may be more healthy than having a hall monitor. We do receive feedback from community members informing us of comments that may be a little extreme or against out guidelines and act accordingly.

Regarding this point:
(for example an agent in CA answering an AZ specific question that they obviously have no clue about. So they answer in gross generalities)

I agree and disagree with you on that point.

AGREE because each state and community is unique. “Specific” questions about things such as state laws, standards of practice, local trends, community features, etc…. may be better answered by those who practice in those local areas. Maybe if those agents outside of those areas prefaced their comments or posts by saying that although they are not from the area in question, they’d like to add their 2 cents as to how they do it in our area. That might lead to a more fruitful conversation. Everybody’s Voice Counts!

DISAGREE because savvy and knowledgeable agents can and do add value to real estate conversations outside their local geographic area of expertise everyday. e.g. blogs If agents only answered questions on forums or blogged about their local market then I would have never met you Jay and what we all now know as the re:sphere would not exist. That would be a shame. So, I think we can all learn from each other, even when we are thousands of miles apart I know I have learned a tremendous amount from you and many others around the nation over the last 2 years. Priceless.

Any chance of Renaming Trulia Voices “Jeopardy For Reators”? If not I’ll end the campaining for it here.

Congrats on the new features and good luck working the bugs out.
