Quick little idea here. As I was exploring the interwebs today, I realized that REALTOR information is EVERYWHERE. If you change brokers, get married, get a new cell number, how do you keep all these in sync? You could always keep a list of sites that you added your info to. Or you could make sure all inbound links to website can be tagged and tracked, such as www.yoursite.com/index.php?ref=yelp (this one would refer to yelp.com). When you check your logs (you do monitor logs to see where traffic is coming and analyze your ROI right?) you can see which are being used, and make sure those are up to date. If you have plastered yourself from here to Timbuktu this works great, you only maintain the ones that are working for you - the others can lay to rest.
This of course fails miserably if your change your domain name.
Are there any other services that automate identity syndication similar to the listing syndication sites (Point2, etc)?
Chris,
Change it once and it’s done. That’s the idea. I for one would love to discuss this further with you. I have the capabilities to “syndicate” Realtor information to other sites out there and would like to begin doing so. I simply need to know when the agent data has been changed. Which is something NAR might have access to via their local branches.
Please shoot me an email so we can discuss further.
