Like Digg.com, the new Links area at BrokerAgentSocial.com is an Industry first in its design to help you share and discover great real estate content.
Everything in the Links area — news, video, audio, images — are submitted by Members of the Community like you, and made available for voting and commenting by others.
Why Share Your Favorite links?
Sharing is a basic, fundamental, first step in Networking. When you share you attract others based on the quality of what you share.
Through the "Link" tab on the top menu bar you can share your favorite links for others to vote and comment on.
All link activity shows up throughout the various activity feeds within BrokerAgentSocial.com
Why Vote On links?
For the same reason others create links. Even more as responding to a link can do more for you than the person who created it.
Why? When you take the time to comment or vote on a link its something special for the person who submitted the link and they will want to learn more about you.
As a bonus, your comment or vote rides along with that link as it rises in popularity and again, your votes and comments show up through activity feeds as well.
Links to Your Office or Single Property Listing
Feel free to post these types of links but just as those who consistently post every property listing they have in their Blog here, you'll likely be wasting your time.
This is an Industry peer to peer network community and 99% of the members here are not interested in these types of postings.
How Does it Work?
Once a link is submitted it goes in the 'Upcoming' tabbed area for other Members to explore, vote, and comment on. Of other Members like it, it rises in popularity and moves up.
If five or more members give your link a 'thumbs up' its promoted to the 'Popular' page where it competes with other popular links for placement.
Voting Widget
You can use this tool to share your, or others, links on your web site or in your emails for others to see, enjoy, and vote on.
IMPORTANT:
You can never change a links web address once submitted and you only have 60 seconds to change any link details. This is necessary to prevent dubious changes after popularity has been achieved.
Like all other applications you can use the "My Apps" icon on the top menu bar to submit, edit, or delete your links.
Common Questions:
- Can the public view the links? Yes, unless they are made private by the link poster.
- Can I put the same link in more than one category? No duplicate links are allowed.
- How many votes does a link need to be moved to the 'Popular' page? Five
- Why isn't my link being moved to the 'Popular' page? It either does not have the required five votes, or it has been longer than 30 days since it was first submitted.
- Why can't I edit a link? You only have 60 minutes from initial submission to change your link information and you are not able to change the web address of your link once submitted.
- Why won't my picture upload? It must be of file type jpeg, jpg, gif, or ping - Be no larger in file size than 200 kb - And be no larger dimensionally than 120X120 pixels.
