WordPress MU as a broker solution for providing agents websites

admin — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 07:42:13 +0000

After our experiment with Virtual Properties and Maxsell Real Estate, I am sold that WordPress MU is the best solution for brokers wanting a turn-key solution to provide agents with websites.

WordPress mu is a platform that allows brokers to add an unlimited number of agents on unique sub domains of their website. Each agent can control their sites content, design and even the address through a simple to use administration panel. Due to the inherent search engine friendliness of WordPress, it is a powerful solution that can be implemented at a very low cost, saving brokers administration time and money.

For information about custom WordPress MU installation and hosting, please contact us.

Our comments are nofollow free

admin — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:12:10 +0000

What? Nofollow is a tricky little tool bloggers use to discourage commenters from leaving a lot of spammy, lots-of-links style posts. The nofollow virtually removes all of the search engine optimization benefit of those links. So, we disabled the nofollow. Why you may ask? Simple; we want our clients to benefit from leaving comments on our website. For more information on nofollow, visit our FAQ page.

Here are the ground rules. We’ll moderate the comments pretty strictly, so there is not much chance that you will see spam comments, of over link heavy comments. If you see a comment with inappropriate links, please look for the “report a cold comment” link and tell us about it.

If you use WordPress, you too can have nofollow free comments by using NoFollow Free.
