It is the same for all websites and blogs: You need traffic to the site. Without traffic nobody will learn about what you have to offer of goodies at your website or blog. Feedjit is the smartest and most simple innovation I know of to help you get more visitors to your site at present. And Feedjit is a fun experience for your visitors, too. Did I forgot to tell you that Feedjit is free? Feedjit will appear at your blog or site when you add a small snippet of code to each of your web pages.

Show the real-time traffic stream

From a list of visitors displayed as a live traffic feed you can go to a webpage of Feedjit with a list of your visitors: Where they are coming from and where they are going in real-time.

The world map of Feedjit

The most fun thing to add is a small world map. On this world map small red dots will show from where your visitors are coming from the latest 24 hours. The map will show up to 100 dots, not to cover the whole map. This is in itself a nice addition to the visitor experience to your site as the map will function as a kind of testimonial about that you get a lot of visitors from all around the world. See Feedjit in function: The Feedjit world map of visitors to Island Vacation Tips. When visitors click on this small map widget they will go to a web page at Feedjit with an interactive map with flags. The flags show the location in each country from where your latest visitors are coming from. This map is really looking impressive and will take up to 1000 visitor locations.

Real Estate Now

Dec 22, 2008 @ 02:40 pm by articles

As more dire news and headlines about the real esate meltdown continue to hit the airwaves I’m reminded of so many things that have gone before in regards to real estate… the more things change the more they stay the same.

I had met a friend at a local coffee shop to discuss some Internet business and he started talking about this girl he knows in Detroit.

The conversation drifted to how now is the time to buy and we should start really buying up a lot of properties in 2009 to be positioned for the expected recovery in property prices and sales starting in 2010. Once this economic downturn is over there’s sure to be recovery. Always has, always will.

And he got to talking about how another friend of his had marveled at the prices for lakefront property on Lake Michigan.

The friend told him he’d never seen these properties under $250,000 to $300,000 apiece. But now he was seeing properties formerly in this range going for right now in the $80,000 to $90,000 range.

I don’t know what kind of condition these properties were in or if they’re in a state of disrepair but these numbers are extremely telling to me on exactly how deep the damage in the US housing market is and just how far things have fallen.

The pain being felt by the American consumer is extreme and cuts deep.

Don’t let the news media prognosticators fool you. There is lots of pain out there and talking to any of the executives of the Fortune 500 companies will confirm this conclusion.

I read an article the other day about how many executives were remarking they’d never seen anything like this with consumers having such tight grasp of the purse strings.

But as with any trough the black of night will yield to the dawn of a new day and growth once again.

Get your finances ready, your resources organized, and your strategy finalized so you can begin to implement your buying process successfully starting right now.

There is no better time than the turn of the new year to get back on the track to your overall financial and real estate investing strategy.

Until next time keep buying up everything in sight which makes financial sense.
