Laurie Manny the queen of blogging for Long Beach CA, at the Bloodhound Blog Unchained Conference

BrokerIPTV: Hey, this is Brian Brady for BrokerIPTV.com. You are here at the BloodHoundBlog social media marketing conference in Phoenix, Arizona brought to you by zillow.com. I have a very, very special guest. The Queen of Long Beach, the lady of local blogging, Laurie Manny.

Laurie Manny: Hi Brian, how are you today?

BrokerIPTV: I am great. I am really excited to talk to you and to deliver some really good stuff for you right now. I have got three important questions for Laurie Manny. Here is where I will start - Laurie tell us how successful you are. How many hits a day are you getting on that longbeachrealestatehome.com.

Laurie Manny: Well, on the Long Beach site, I am getting anywhere from 3500 to 5500 a day. 3500 is a very slow day and 5500 is the kind you jump up and down.

BrokerIPTV: On your blog site?

Laurie Manny: Uhum.

BrokerIPTV: And where do you want this to go?

Laurie Manny: Well, you and I have talked about that a while back and I told you I had hoped to get 5000 a day and you said Laurie, why not 10,000 and I said because I want to get five first before I want 10. Well, it is time to start hoping for 10.

BrokerIPTV: How about we just add a 0?

Laurie Manny: Well, we will get there; small goes first.

BrokerIPTV: Okay, tell the viewers here how this happens. How do you get so many hits?

Laurie Manny: You work really hard. You work really hard. You work a lot of hours and you do everything right.

BrokerIPTV: Well, give us a little idea of how to do things right? What is the one thing that really drives those hits in Google search?

Laurie Manny: Unique keyword rich content.

BrokerIPTV: Okay, now translate for the those of us that don't understand that?

Laurie Manny: You have to have your blog site setup right. You have to write for the engines.

BrokerIPTV: For example, give us three or four keyword searches that you are using over and over and over again in order to rank.

Laurie Manny: Long Beach real estate, Long Beach condos, downtown Long Beach condos, several specific neighborhoods with real estate condos - these are the targets that you want. You are just not going after everything willy nilly. You have to target what you want and then you go for it.

BrokerIPTV: What was life like for Laurie Manny before longbeachrealestatehome.com.

Laurie Manny: I was a very successful realtor.

BrokerIPTV: What was it like on the web for you?.

Laurie Manny: It was horrible, but then the Internet wasn't quite as important then and as the Internet became more and more important, it became more and more important to get onto the Internet and to get to the top and to be recognized there and if you didn't see that early on, then you wouldn't get to where I am now. So, you are always in this business no matter what part of the business you are looking at, you always need to look at everything with a little future vision. Everybody should always be considering in looking into the future in everything that they do because it helps you make the right decisions today. It gives you something to work towards if you know where you are going.

BrokerIPTV: So it is kind of like a hockey game I mean you cannot skate to where the puck is now. You want to skate towards where it is going to be, is that pretty much what you are saying?

Laurie Manny: You have to know where it is going to be.

BrokerIPTV: And you know where it is going to be?

Laurie Manny: When you see that stick coming around and you know how it is going to hit and you know where the puck is going to go, even though everyone else doesn't, because you have been watching it so close, you know it moves; when you see that stick coming around, you know the puck is going to go there when everyone else thinks it is going to go there. You are going to be there; they all wouldn't be here.

BrokerIPTV: That is Laurie Manny folks. She knows where the puck is going to be next and you are watching her here on BrokerIPTV, so stay tuned so you will learn where the puck is going to be next too.
