Real Estate Magazine Launches Socila Networking Forums and Local News Blogs Using Wordpress and BBPress Stiched Together

RISMedia, and specifically RISMedia.com, in a continual metamorphiasis to keep up with the changing landscape online, has evloved agiain, you may have noticed, into a full-featured social media online community!

"Who better to serve the needs of real estate brokers, agents, vendors and now consumers than us, with our nearly thirty years experience and our position in the real estate market as a benchmark?"

"While we certainly continue to enjoy long term success with our print publications, including our flagship Real Estate Magazine (which resides on nearly 40,000 real estate oriented coffee tables every month), we also understand that the marketplace is changing, and that, more and more, business is conducted online."

"In recognition of these changes, we have begun an ongoing rollout of more and more robust social media and social netoworking features on our website: to provide our readership of over 600,000 combined access to not only all of our existing products and services, but also eachother, and us in the new forums which provide free profiles, blogging, private messaging and interaction on every level."

"In the months to come, we will designate a local author/mediator for every city and state, to provide a weekly news column of local and regional interest in our new RISMedia.com/local section of the site."

As a multi-user installation of the world's most popular open-source blogging software, WordPress, these sections will be rolled out gradually nationwide as the author/sponsors are found and setup, one at a time, one for each major city.

After all: who has a better handle on the local markets, and is more able to supply credible, relevent reporting on local real estate issues, and local listings to consumers in a user freindly format without 'gate-keeper' mentality, than local larger brokerages and/or agent teams in those cities and states?

The best way to get a message to the public is now to supply the market with what it seeks, free services and consumer-empowering software sponsored by somebody credible.

There will be one designated Broker/Contributer writing a weekly column (which will disseminated and be made available to our entire readership) per city.

These advertisers/constributer sponsors will pay for passive advertising as the sponsor for local news, links, resources, and listings which will be made available in these local sections, for free, for everyones pleasure.

This is the way advertising works online: you give something away; a free service: listings, links, resources, and news in this case (free searches, if you are Google, Yahoo or another search engine); this causes the marketplace to move through your website, and you can advertise to that market.

The links from these local sections of our high-ranked "authority source" website, combined with search engine optimization, which is being included in the advertising service as part of the bundle, will cause these local section sponsors to achieve frist page ranking in the organic search results for many real estate search terms on Google, Yahoo, Windows live and others.

We hope you enjoy the new features, network with each other, talk to us, and join in the discussion: upload a picture, be heard and join in the New Forums section of this website!

If you are interested in being a contributing author for your City and State, contact us ASAP, we can only accept one sponsor for each area, first come, first serve!

And look for more City areas of rismedia.com/localnews to be anounced weekly as the authors are screened and the areas added!

Welcome to the new marketplace, from your old freind, and RISMedia! We actually get it, as you can see!
