Real Estate Products: What is a tag cloud Widget?

Friday, July 25th, 2008

 What is a tag cloud? For those of you not familiar, a tag cloud is a lot of random links, often in alphabetical order scattered in an area, often a square or retangular area that are relevant to a particular page’s category.  The can come in all types of color and background situations, but I think a very common one is blue on white.  Where the links and text are blue.

Here is another explanation:
The font size of the title in the cloud indicates how relevant the product is to your page – the larger the title, the more closely the product should match the topics on your page. This widget is ideal for sites with changing content such as blog pages. It will keep up with your changing page by automatically showing new titles as your page evolves.

This product is actually even better than the average one, you can do a mouseover on it and actually find out more about a product for that category.

I have provided an example below, as you mouseover each category you will see how it works.  Tag clouds are pretty common on the internet these days. When I first saw them I thought they were strange, but the fact that some links and text jump out at you if they are more relevant, is actually a pretty good ideal for targeting.

Real Estate Best Television Shows DVD, Video, TV

Friday, July 25th, 2008

With so many great shows on tv’s these days for investing, flipping homes, real estate, etc. I have found some that I found available for you to preview. I have seen so many great shows on A&E, HGTV, and DIY type of channels. These shows are 30 minutes and 60 minutes shows and most are a series. Some of the better ones are the flip the home shows, because you learn about a lot of pitfalls. There are a lot of first time home buyer shows, as well as how to save money with a house budget. There are space and design type of shows, and curb appeal and landscape shows. How to get the most out of your money for your home is a common theme. I think some of the networks I just mentioned are the best to watch. Most of those networks show these series 24 hours per day. Each flip show is unique because he rehabber is unique, his/her crew and especially their approach and which market and price point they choose. They show all of the mistakes that others make and hopefully every viewer can learn from others mistakes.
