Wiki Contributors: 100 points & Branding Steps

This is for the buyer agents out there (from any company) that are FranklyMLS.com Wiki Contributors (adding photos and comments to listings).

You get 100 bonus points when you link from your blog or website back to YOUR reviewed homes on FranklyMLS.com .

Usually agents will put "My Reviewed Homes on FranklyMLS.com" (but not in red)

How to get the right link to get the 100 points (and for buyers to see each home you have visited):
1) Go to the front page of FranklyMLS.com and click on the number by your name (not in the top 10, click on "All Contributors").
2) Copy that URL. It should look like this:
http://franklymls.com/default.aspx?m=R&h=ALL&s=100014&a=USERNAME
3) Paste it in your website around the words "My Reviewed Homes on FranklyMLS.com"
4) Email me for your 100 points.

(Optional note, add the &a=USERNAME to insure that your cookie is added to every visitor, so your ad follows them)

Don't forget to put your IDX in your email signatures:

Search the MLS: www.franklymls.com/Username

Other tips:
When you review a neighborhood in a blog, consider linking to all active homes in that area. (Matrix links don't last forever, FranklyMLS.com links do). Make that link have your branded IDX. Like this:
Link name: See all Actives in "Old Dominion Gardens" for sale
Link URL: http://franklymls.com/default.aspx?m=R&h=ALL&s=%22OLD+DOMINION+GARDENS%22&a=JohnDoe

Also add shortcut Favorite links like I have done on blog.FranklyRealty.com (I did it without my branded IDX, but you should add your &a=JohnDoe to the URL)

  2. Anonymous, What do you mean? I need an example. It already does search by county. Just enter in: Arlington and it will search Arlington.

    Fairfax is a little more complex since there are streets names Fairfax. So try FX6* which is hte MLS numbering system
