Wow, what a couple of years it has been. While I appeared to drop off the face of the earth right after things got started over here on Real-Estate-Marketing.net, I actually jumped even further into the deep end of online marketing. That project (I’ll touch on it a bit more below) required that I step away from all of my own projects including this blog and its sister blog, MortgageMarketingIdeas.com.

In late 2007. I took a lot of the internet marketing philosophies that I briefly started touching on here and applied them to a group of websites that provided lead generation in the elective medical space. From an initial contract as “SEO Guru” I ended up transitioning into a COO/Partner role and, thanks to a visionary CEO and an AWESOME team of operations and sales folks, we grew revenue from 2007 to 2009 by over 200%.

We were recently acquired by a large public internet company and are now in the last months of our intial transition period. Even in this down economy, the incredible team I have had the privilege to work with just posted a 60% sales increase November 09 vs. November 08. I can only imagine what our numbers would be in a “normal” economic climate let alone the boom times of just a few years ago.

While the majority of my time and energy will, for the foreseeable future, still be devoted to the people and product that I’ve spent the last two plus years working with and developing, I’m excited to get back to working with, helping and learning from other like minded folks learn how to utilize the internet to grow our businesses and enrich our lives.

I’ll be devoting additional resources to make sure this blog stays updated and fresh. I’ll be bringing in additional experts in real estate marketing and online marketing in general to help share the tips, tricks, practices, and ideas that continue to produce top results.

For those who are still fighting on after two and a half plus years, congrats on keeping your head above the water! And, to those who are new, welcome! I’m excited to be back and very excited to see what 2010 and beyond has to offer!
