I would like to share with you some news and upcoming activities in the Lounge.

We migrated to a VPS (virtual private server), bringing you better performance, flexibility, security and scalability.  We now share the server bandwidth with 50 (or so) domains as apposed to before we shared with 800 domains. You should now be able to upload the site and navigate faster then before. This migration was not seamless; there were roadblocks, i.e., lost of data, broken links, etc. They are now fixed and we are on our way. Thank goodness for the technologies and conveniences it brings, but it also comes with learning and setbacks.

As you may know (or not), we are a team of RE Investors, RE Agents, Electrical Engineers, Technologists and Webmasters. Our team has been working hard to bring you tools and technologies to better market your business.

I think most of us share a common denominator and that is "how do we maximize exposure of our listings?" InvestorsLoungeOnline now offers our members property listings, and then your listings will get exposure automatically via the most popular classifieds sites and real estate portals (Google Base, Trulia, Zillow, Oodle, Local.com, Vast, Lycos, and CityCribs). This syndication will multiply your listings' exposure and the combined traffic viewing of your listings; will amount to be in the millions per month.

To increase visibility online is the core of every online business marketing strategy. Driving traffic to your website and getting noticed by search engines takes a lot of time and effort. Links play a major role in determining your ranking position on search engines. One simple way to obtain back links is to submit your link to directories. Our online directory provides links to your sites categorized under relevant topics. By submitting to a directory under a particular category, you allow the search engine to categorize your site under a relevant topic. We actively submit our site to "free" and "paid" directories on the web so you can benefit from our SEO campaign. Please find your niche (professional) in one of our directories, and then submit your site to improve your search engine rankings.

We are learning a lot to bring you tools and technologies; however there is a great deal to do alone and we need your help. We would like to ask you to complete your profile; please include a picture and "about yourself" and blog about the suggested topics below. Blogs provide direct communication; a way for you to profess what you know in your industry, to speak directly, openly and honestly to our members (also gives you an increased presence on major search engines, like Yahoo! and Google). Blogging gives you the opportunity to promote your brand and company as well.

Suggested topics (not limited to) we would like to ask you to blog about are below:

Pulse of the Economy, Creative buying and selling strategies, Current Market in Your State, Mortgage, Preforeclosure, Foreclosure, Internet Marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Wholesaling, 1031 exchanges, Commercial real estate, IRA investing, Landlording, Lease Options, Mobile Homes, No money down, Owner financing, Rehabbing, Tax liens, or simply a "Lessons Learn" in your profession.

We are also looking for someone to moderate and take lead in our forum... perhaps generate some thought provoking questions. Please let us know if you can help.

Meantime, we can work on bringing you tools and technologies. Do you want to know what else we are working on?

There are a few projects in the works. To name a few, you will have your own Single Property Flyer optimized for maximum exposure (SEO). For investors that want to analayze your property to determine cash flow, cap rate, cash on cash, internal rate of return, gross rent multiplier, resale value, you can use our portfolio analysis tool. We believe technolgy should work for people and not the other way around.
