Hello, Blog! Today, we released a new blogging tool to your XSite.  Blogs have been the biggest buzzword in the industry this year, and when they're done correctly, they can make your XSite and your business an incredible success.  If you haven't learned about blogs yet, it's pretty simple.  Blogging is simply publishing your opinions on the Web.  But the advantages are huge. When you add your blog to your XSite, you'll have the fresh content that search engines love.  You'll target your audience more, which can help generate more leads.  And you'll become an expert in your field, which can drive more traffic to your XSite.  But you can get those with any old blog.  Your XSite blog is much more powerful.

Blogging like you've never seen before
Other blogs are nothing more than a daily diary.  XSite blogs are built to drive traffic and generate leads, automatically.  Here are your new features that you'd pay hundreds of dollars for with other blogging sites.

• Automatic reminders - For your blog to be successful, you'll have to post regularly.  XSites blogging lets you set post reminders, and then we'll send you an e-mail when it's time for you to write a new blog.
• Comments turn into clients - Anytime someone comments on your blog post, they're automatically added to your contacts so they'll receive your future marketing campaigns.
• A massive community - Your blog is automatically available to almost 100,000 appraisers, inspectors, mortgage originators, brokers, and agents.  It's easy to search for and exchange blog links with other service providers in your area on the XSites Network and improve your search engine rankings with inbound links.
• XSellerate marketing - XSellerate turns your blog into a traffic-driving machine.  When you post a new blog story, XSellerate will automatically e-mail your clients, prospects, and other real estate pros telling them to come to your site to check out the latest story.
