SpamRealty: Over categorizing/tagging your posts.

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

I can’t stand spam! It comes in many forms: slimy meat in a can, unsolicited emails, and lame comment on blogs. With real estate blogs popularity ever increasing, more and more Realtors are becoming bloggers. Many over zealous Realtors are tempted to spam their own blog by adding more categories then necessary or tag that aren’t even relevant.

The other day while looking over some local real estate blogs, I came across a prime example of a Realtor taking categorizing post to the extreme. Below is the list of tags this post was giving(19):

Posted by SpamRealty in: Search Utah County Real Estate for Sale, Utah County Real Estate, Buying a Home, FSBO, For Sale by Owner, Home Buying Tips, Provo, Provo Utah, Real Estate Statistics, Selling a Home Provo, Provo average sales price, Provo home prices, Provo homes, Provo house, Provo housing, Provo real estate, Provo sales prices, Provo Utah

The post was maybe two paragraphs long and made no mention of FSBO.  Honestly give it a rest! Pick one or two categories and call it good.

P.S. I made changes to the quoted section so I wouldn’t be plagiarizer, but you get the idea.
