Consistent Clients – Real Estate Marketing

Today’s Web 2.0 Wrap-up is a very exciting (I think) post from Geek Estate Blog about a new Wordpress plugin from Diverse Solutions for their IDX. If you’re not familiar with IDX, it is a way of connecting your website to your MLS in order to display your listings. I’m not sure of all the technical parts that go into it, but I know two things about IDX:

1. It’s a VERY good thing to have your listings dynamically updating straight from your MLS, as it keeps the property search on your site fresh and up to date without you having to manually input your listings onto your site all the time.
2. From what I’ve seen, IDX has been somewhat hard to implement on Wordpress, especially if you don’t have a tech person.

But Diverse Solutions, a provider of IDX services, has just launched a new plugin for Wordpress users. Very cool!  Jay over at the Geek Estate Blog goes into lots of detail, and it looks like they’ve really got things figured out (especially for SEO purposes). So if you’ve been wanting to add a real-time property search to your site, head on over and read the full post. And if you’re already using Diverse Solutions and Wordpress, run (don’t walk) and grab that plugin! It looks like it will make your life a lot easier and your site a lot more Google friendly.
