Blogging Systems Unveils New Version of Community Publisher, a Blogging Tool for Real Estate Agents and Brokers

– www.bloggingsystems.com – Today at the Brand New Day Conference, Blogging Systems, a blogging platform provider serving real estate brokers, announced the availability of is newest version of Community Publisher, its flagship blogging platform.

Blog use and creation is growing at a phenomenal rate. According to Technorati, a leading weblog authority, the blogosphere doubles about every 5.5 months. Technorati points to March 2006 as a month in which they tracked over 27.2 million weblogs. This number is nearly double the number of blogs they were tracking 5 months prior.

“As blogs become an accepted communications medium, real estate agents and brokers are realizing they can capitalize on a tool that helps them increase community ties and build local brand recognition,” said Richard Nacht, CEO of Blogging Systems. “Community Publisher takes the networking leg work real estate professionals have been doing for years, and puts it online.”

Community Publisher is a weblog (BLOG) which allows real estate professionals to create a branded, hyper-local news content website serving their local community. Because the Community Publisher blog enables interactivity, the return rate of visitors is higher than a typical website, which ultimately leads to top-of-mind recognition of the real estate professional who hosts the blog.

A locally flavored blog, sponsored by a real estate broker, enables:
• increased awareness via thousands of visitors each month
• clear positioning as a key provider of local information
• increased "touch points" with local customers and prospects
• an additional revenue stream via community ads & sponsored links

David Crockett, President of The Crockett Team, Ltd., Howard Hanna Smythe Cramer, has experienced phenomenal success as a beta user of this service.

“I have been using Community Publisher for 2 months and have seen amazing results,” said David Crockett, President at The Crockett Team Ltd. “Inviting others to participate in the local website has helped me build my reputation as a leading real estate broker in the Lake County Ohio community.”

The newest version of Community Publisher is making its debut at the Brand New Day – 2006 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida hosted by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.

Richard Nacht, who has over 20 years of experience in the real estate, finance and technology development industries, is speaking on a panel entitled “Keys to Increasing Web Traffic". Richard plans to contribute valuable information to this discussion by explaining the blog phenomenon and what it can mean to real estate professionals.
