In my morning blog reading, I found a quick tip worth bringing more attention to — Marian Bennett, an agent for Coldwell Banker, posted Improving communication with easy tech tools that highlighted an interesting way to use Google Alerts to determine which real estate listing sites are resulting in Google juice for her listings —

Google Alerts – I type in the property address and get email alerts when the address shows up on Google. Then I can tell where the search engine activity is coming from, such as californiamoves.com, my website, the property website, Realivent, Trulia, Zillow, Redfin, Movoto, craigslist, fogster, someone else’s blog, etc. etc.

The more you understand which sites impact Google, the better off you are in my mind.
