In the Fall of 2008 I launched my Menifee Homes blog, a real estate focused companion to my Menifee 24/7 blog. I was hoping to develop a blog that could attract more traffic from the Internet that was interested in buying and selling homes in Menifee, and in turn, introduce them to my Menifee 24/7 blog.

I recruited some local real estate agents to write the blog for me, and in return, give them links to their respective websites, and promote themselves on my blog.

It hasn't really worked. The real estate agents have not contributed enough content on a regular basis to get Google to bring in more traffic. While the Menifee Homes blog is moving up in Google for phrases like "menifee homes" and "menifee real estate", I need more content to generate more keyword variation on Google.

I managed to find another local real estate agent, Cynthia, who might work out for me. She's really turned on to the Internet, and seems determined to make it work for her. Hopefully, the blog will generate more traffic as a result, and build a larger audience-base for her.
